One Dream Scenario for Every 2019 Top 10 CFB Recruiting Class
quote:
College football recruiting classes for the 2019 season are just starting to come together—UCLA only has one committed player thus far, for instance—so all of the 10 teams with the top classes still have plenty of time to dream bigger.
We're not reaching for unobtainable stars, though. We're looking for realistic dream scenarios.
Not every school is in the running for the best players available, nor does every team necessarily need to add a player at every position. In other words, not all home runs are created equally.
Whether it's signing a specific player or two, filling a positional need, recruiting a specific market or simply shooting for its best class in over a decade, each of these programs has at least one major goal in mind for the next seven-plus months before national signing day.

I have no inside info, but the first thing I thought of was sleeze ball tampering. I fully expect him to end up at UGA.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide
Dream Scenario: Start another dynastic run at No. 1
Alabama had the sixth-best class in the recruiting cycle that ended this past February. For most schools, that would be cause for raucous celebration. But for head coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide, it was an undeniable disappointment, as it ended a seven-year run at No. 1 in those rankings.
Thus far, the quest to get back to that top spot is looking good. Though the Crimson Tide have not yet signed any top 25 recruits, they do have commitments from 10 of the top 150 players. And as you might expect, Alabama is one of the favorites to land most of the top uncommitted recruits.
These player rankings will change considerably in the next few months, but No. 1 Thibodeaux, No. 3 Ishmael Sopsher, No. 5 Wright, No. 7 Trey Sanders, No. 8 Hill, No. 11 Webb and No. 14 Crouch are all listed as "warm" in their consideration of the Tide. That's 50 percent of the nation's top 14 recruits who are thinking about signing with Alabama.
Saban isn't going to get all seven of those studs, but two or three should be enough to secure the No. 1 class.
When we did this list last June for 2018, the Crimson Tide didn't even have a top 25 class. The fact that Alabama is already at No. 1 is a massive step in the right direction.

5* ILB Henry To'oto'o, who very recently visited Tennessee and Alabama, said two days ago in this video interview UA and UT "will definitely get official visits" and his other six finalists will have to compete for the other three OVs.

I get what you are saying but I don't see how this helps him or the school he is transferring to all that much. He played two games last year and would have to sit this year. If he wanted he can declare for the draft after next year. This could just be a transfer for personal reasons.
With that being said from the outside, his situation has always been weird, and it always felt like their was a relative around him that really didn't have his best interest at heart. When he was being recruited I talked to someone close to the Notre Dame program at an event and they felt there was always something not quite right.

It blows my mind how obsessed L7U fans are with Bama. I think Surtain signing with us may have broken them.

Exactly. I mean just going to have to wait until February for him at this point.

The internet rumor of the day is there is a family illness and he will apply for a waiver. But like Carlton said, there is always a lot of strange things going on with him and his handler, I mean brother.

Maybe that's why the first thought that popped into my mind was "tampering". His recruitment just came across as one of the dirtiest in recent memory. At the time, I wanted Bama and UGA to pull his offer.

Keep an eye out in what regard? Us becoming a player in his recruitment or a potential commitment?
