wat?

I'd rather have Leo Lewis of course, but Mississippi kids will always Mississippi. I think Adonis is a playmaker. Really excited about him and hope we can get him on board.

Have you watched any ILB film for 2016? Not sure who we have a chance with at this point. That and tight end have to be an emphasis in 2016.

Bama already has a stellar No. 1 nationally ranked class for 2015, but the Crimson Tide would love to take a few more top players away from some of their rivals (see the first two players below). Here’s a look at three players Alabama would love to land between now and national signing day. And keep in mind with Alabama: In essence, the Crimson Tide are in the recruiting ballgame for any national blue-chipper they target, so there are many others out there–but these are three that we think may end up with the ‘Tide.

Editor’s note: Saturday Down South’s references to ratings follow the 247Sports.com composite rankings.

1. Kendall Sheffield, DB, Missouri City (Texas), 6-0/180

National rank: No. 16 overall prospect
SEC schools: Texas A&M, Alabama
The skinny: This is an interesting recruiting battle, because should Alabama be able to pull this off, it may open up an even bigger recruiting foundation in the state of Texas. Currently, it almost seems like the Aggies get whoever they want from their own state, but other SEC West powers are peering into the mega-talented state and want to pull out talent (see Tony Brown). This will be a fun battle to keep an eye on. One would think the Aggies will win this battle, but you never know. Everybody thought Brown was going to LSU last year, too.

2. Terry Godwin, Hogansville (Ga.), 6-0/170, ATH

National rank: No. 20 overall prospect
SEC schools: Committed to Georgia, with Alabama and Auburn pursuing.
The skinny: Godwin is one of those commitments who is still considered “in play”. He still considers himself a Bulldogs commitment, but the Crimson Tide and Tigers are coming after him very hard, and he has been on campus several times. He is a game-changing type of athlete. This past weekend, he had a one-on-one discussion with Nick Saban about how he would be a target in the offense just like Amari Cooper. Think that was a powerful statement?

3. Daron Payne, Birmingham (Ala.), 6-2/315, DT

National rank: No. 29 overall prospect
SEC schools: Alabama, Auburn, Georgia
The skinny: It seems like Payne is Alabama’s to lose, but we all know how things can go with this in-state Bama-Auburn recruiting battles. Payne is incredibly strong and can blow by his blocker and plant a quarterback in the dirt. Of the three players mentioned here, Payne is the biggest “lock” to end up with the Crimson Tide. But … can you imagine if the ‘Tide got all three of these five-star players?
