If Bama can only take two more commits, what player or position would you like it to be?

Personally, I'd like to see a dominant true DT (if not Justus Terry, then another good one) and a big time RB (Come on down, AK Dear!)

If they can pull that off, that is maybe the greatest class of all time at Bama. It's already an amazing class but it could be a smidge better.

Footnote-All of the DTs on 247sports appear to be committed. There is the #1 DL in the JUCO ranks that's not committed, Zavion Hardy.

I'd want these two.

Unfortunately, we probably don't have a real chance with Terry, Lockett, or Meadows.

What we'll probably close out with is Dear and Ty Jackson. Maybe get a DT in the portal after the season.

Don't know anything about this guy. Are we pursuing him?

Hardy has been offered by Bama along with pretty much all the SEC.

I am genuinely not trying to be a debbie downer or chicken little, but the reality is we're going to have decommitments over the Fall and potentially late in the process so I imagine we'll take more commit instances than 2 between now and February...but the final tally will probably be 2 more than now.

Meadows and Terry

Between WR and TE in that scenario for this class, pass game will open up the run game for most backs

Desperately need a game changer DL prospect.

We really need to up our DL game to keep up with the SEC joneses.
Georgia is favored to get the top 2 Edge and top 2 DL players this year.

Don’t get the infatuation with Meadows. There’s a reason that you only see a handful of 6’5”+ receivers in the NFL. That kid should be a dominant force in HS and he isn’t, Caleb Odom was a far superior prospect.

Terry and Lockett would be good with me. Dear is a good back but we signed Hill and Riley last year and we have two young backs on the roster in Haynes and Young. I don’t expect we’ll have a hard time signing a good back next year if we miss on Dear

Iose Epenesa, DE out of Illinois would be a really good pick up. Pretty impressive film:

I get it, but I think his athleticism is also different than someone of his build. He's a bit of a freak athlete. And, 6'5+ and 205lbs coupled with track speed and agility is a good weapon to have.

Same HS as Germie Bernard.

I just think it's a choose your poison type of thing with a player that looks like a young Mike Evans in a DeBoer offense with multiple other elite skill players.

I think he'd be awesome in this offense, and really wouldn't want him in the SEC if not at Bama.
