One Nightmare Scenario for Every 2019 Top-10 CFB Recruiting Class
quote:
Clemson has one of the best recruiting classes in the nation once again, but how much sleep do you suppose head coach Dabo Swinney is losing over the possibility of yet another class thin on offensive linemen?
Before you start with the "Well, actually" retorts, we are well aware that every college football coach's recruiting nightmare is a sudden flurry of decommitments, which would completely undo the foundation they have worked so hard to put together.
But there's no point in reiterating that point for each of these teams. Rather, we're only interested in suggesting realistic nightmare scenarios—only one of which involves a current commit potentially flipping.
For many of these teams, the nightmare is a possible positional dilemma. The powerhouse that is Clemson could fall to pieces if it continues to whiff on offensive linemen. Oklahoma and Texas A&M both need to beef up their secondaries. And Notre Dame is targeting so many wide receivers that it would be downright embarrassing to miss on all of them.
But for others, the nightmare would be failing to live up to usual expectations, in spite of already sitting pretty in the top 10.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide
Nightmare Scenario: No more 5-star commitments
Alabama started slow in last year's recruiting cycle. The Crimson Tide ended up finishing comfortably among the top 10 classes, but when we were doing these dream and nightmare scenarios last June, they were nowhere to be found because Nick Saban had only signed three recruits.
This time around, though, Alabama is already running away with the No. 1 spot with one 5-star and 14 4-star commitments. As of June 24, no other team in the country has signed more than 10 combined 4-star and 5-star recruits.
But if the Crimson Tide do not sign at least one more 5-star recruit, it would be the first time since 2007 that they failed to get multiple 5-star studs.
To put it lightly, Saban and Co. are working diligently to avoid that outcome.
Of the 15 remaining uncommitted 5-star recruits, 247Sports has 10 listed as either a top target or high choice for Alabama and has each of those 10 players listed as "warm" on the Crimson Tide. As far as the crystal ball predictions are concerned, though, only Clay Webb—a center from Oxford, Alabama—is more than 50 percent likely to choose Alabama.
After only signing two 5-star players this past year, finishing with just one in this cycle would signal the beginning of the end of this college football dynasty.

I can’t take this serious for the above statement alone. Who the hell is this?

Mind Of Mike: Nix impresses and more from #RivalsChallenge first session

ATLANTA -- The Mind of Mike is a scary place. However, we dare to go there as Rivals.com National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell shares his thoughts from the first session at the Rivals100 Five Star Challenge presented by Adidas.

* Class of 2020 athlete Kelee Ringo won the Fastest on the Field award, although it was very close between him and Jameson Williams. Ringo’s best time was in the 4.56 range although when the two raced at the end both seemed to be on a 4.53 pace which is flying for laser time. Georgia wide receiver commitment Jadon Haselwood was also very impressive, popping off a 4.6 range 40 as clearly the tallest and biggest player to run.

* Some impressive players on the hoof before the action even began include 2020 athlete Arik Gilbert, defensive end Myles Murphy, offensive lineman Stacey Wilkins, wide receiver Trey Knox, linebacker Lee Kpogba, defensive back Cameron Smith, 2020 linebacker Justin Flowe, defensive end Khris Bogle, safety Marvin Grant among others. Offensive lineman Chris Akporghene and tight end Jaelyn Lay could be the two most physically impressive kids at the event and wide receiver Elijah Higgins is the most college ready wide receiver in the bunch. This is a great looking group of kids.

* The offensive line group was up and down during one-on-ones but a few that stood out included Dontae Lucas and Keondre Jones, two Florida State commitments. Both are interior guys, very physical and showed off excellent footwork. Saleem Wormley was also impressive as was 2020 Justin Rogers. Five-stars Kardell Thomas and Clay Webb were up and down, especially Webb as he lost more reps than we’re used to seeing. Thomas was good as always but has to work on avoiding holding calls. Stacey Wilkins also had his moments. Anthony Bradford, the biggest of the offensive linemen, won the bench press competition with an impressive 31 reps at 225 pounds. I also like the way Chris Morris, a 2020, moves. He was really athletic in drills.

* On the defensive line, I liked Khris Bogle quite a bit as he played outside and a bit inside as well. JJ Weaver has a good session as well working off of contact and Jowon Briggs was good in the middle beating Webb a few times. Class of 2020 five-star McKinnley Jackson also showed off his agility on the inside.
Posted on 6/28/18 at 3:28 pm to TideSaint
quote:
* The most impressive wide receiver I saw in the early session was Trey Palmer who beat everyone easily on every rep I saw. A close second? Nolan Groux who is committed to Wake Forest but will be fielding many more offers after this performance.
Man I wish we would get in more on Palmer. I like his game.
Posted on 6/28/18 at 3:28 pm to TideSaint
quote:
* Trey Sanders and Zachary Evans were the most impressive running backs I saw in the early session. Sanders moves and cuts so well for a big running back and Evans, a 2020, could be even more special before he’s done. Evans is one of the best running backs I’ve seen in a few years, up there with the Leonard Fournette’s and Najee Harris’ of the world. However, all the running backs impressed in the early session.
Posted on 6/28/18 at 3:29 pm to TideSaint
quote:
* The defensive backs didn’t have the best day, but Brendan Gant did have a nice interception and Kaiir Elam made some nice plays. Elias Ricks was also very solid, Ringo had a good early session and Cameron Smith also had some nice moments. Tyrique Stevenson has a couple of nice plays as well and Akeem Dent showed off his catchup speed a couple of times on double moves.

i stopped reading about Kayvon Thibodeaux, after reading he'll take a knee during the anthem this year at his hs.
at this point, i dont care about his talent. if he comes to bama and infects our team with that crap, i will be forever pissed at saban for allowing it. yes, i would stop following bama if the players start this crap. i would hate it with a passion, but i would stop. i not watched a single nfl game since they started this crap.
