Kayvon Thibodeaux
Position: Defensive end
Ht./Wt: 6-4 1/2, 239
High school: Oaks Christian in Thousand Oaks, California
The skinny: It looks like a three-team race involving Alabama, Southern Cal and Florida State for Thibodeaux's signature. Alabama's ability to put defensive linemen in the NFL should help, but beating Southern Cal will be difficult.

Trey Sanders
Position: Running back
Ht./Wt: 6-0, 214
High school: IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida
The skinny: Sanders was once committed to Alabama, but later re-opened his recruitment. His blend of size and speed fits the prototype Alabama wants from its running backs. Alabama seems to be the leader, but Florida and Miami (Fla.) are in the mix. It will be interesting to see how many Alabama assistants show up to watch him play at Hoover next month.

It's still possible

Evan Neal
Position: Offensive line
Ht./Wt: 6-7 1/2, 360
High school: IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida
The skinny: Despite his massive size, Neal looked nimble and athletic during 1-on-1s as The Opening summer recruiting showcase in Frisco, Texas, and his quickness means he could play guard or tackle in college. Miami (Fla.) seems to be Neal's leader, but Alabama is still in the mix. He was listed at 390 pounds last year, so he's slimmed-down look shows discipline and hard work.

Ishmael Sopsher
Position: Defensive line
Ht./Wt: 6-3 1/2, 334
High school: Amite (La.)
The skinny: LSU seems to be the eventual destination for the massive defensive lineman, but Alabama appears to be the only other school with a serious shot. Sopher plays at the same school that produced national championship game hero Devonta Smith, so maybe he can help reel in Sopsher.

quote:
Darnell Wright
Position: Defensive line
Ht./Wt: 6-6, 320
High school: Somewhere in Virginia
The skinny: Ohio State and Tennessee appear to be the leaders, and Alabama is third in line. If Tennessee lands Wright, it would mean the Vols grabbed the nation's top two offensive lineman, as Wanya Morris, from Grayson (Ga.), is already committed to Tennessee. Wright said at The Opening he wants to find a school that sends tackles to the NFL, so that might help Ohio State and Alabama.

Nakobe Dean
Position: Linebacker
Ht./Wt: 6-0, 220
High school: Horn Lake (Miss.)
The skinny: Ole Miss has made Dean one of its top priorities in recruiting, and it's clear the Rebels need help on defense. Auburn is also a major player in Dean's recruitment, as are Georgia, Florida State and Alabama. It's impossible to know which way he's leaning, and Dean might not make a decision until the early signing day in December.

Virtually no chance
quote:
Zach Harrison
Position: Defensive end
Ht./Wt: 6-5 1/2, 243
High school: Olentangy Orange in Lewis Center, Ohio
The skinny: It would be a major surprise if Harrison doesn't pick Ohio State, but Michigan still seems to be a remote possibility. Alabama's not really involved.

quote:
Bru McCoy
Position: Athlete
Ht./Wt: 6-2 1/2, 220
High school: Mater Dei in Santa Ana, California
The skinny: Expected to play receiver in college, McCoy has offers from Texas, Oregon and Washington, but it seems inevitable he'll sign with Southern Cal. No southern schools are really in the mix.

quote:
Kyle Ford
Position: Wide receiver
Ht./Wt: 6-2, 212
High school: Orange Luthern in Orange, California
The skinny: Ford showcased his speed, strong hands and toughness at The Opening summer recruiting showcase, which is why he was named the 7-on-7 tournament MVP. It will be a major surprise if he doesn't sign with Southern Cal.

I guess they went with Composite rankings for this article because they don't mention Quavaris Crouch.

Crouch is a composite 5-star.Posted on 9/26/18 at 12:07 pm to TidalSurge1
Is Tuitele our only hedge for Sopsher? Ika is an EE. I wonder what strategies has Saban implemented to avoid a bad signing day in February.
Posted on 9/26/18 at 12:10 pm to TideSaint
Bama has all the momentum with Thib now. The FSU momentum is all but gone. I think we're in good shape right now.

I wonder can we really ramp things up with Dean

By Dean and his family visiting for Bama's home games as much as they can manage. According to Dean's mom, they're hoping to make it this coming weekend.
