Herb Jones 86th player in the country.
Alex Reese 87th best player in the country.
Rayshaun Hammonds 50th best player in the country.

If we get just those players, it will be the best class since Levi and Lacey and be a top 25 class nationally while maintaining our hold on the state's best players. Look, I really want a 5 star guy too, but I'm not going to go all gloom and doom if we don't. We have a shot at a really good class no matter what. Plus, the class already includes Giddens.

This is the part I keep reminding myself. We have 6 big Dawgs that we are hoping to reel in. If we strike out on all 6, we are still getting a stud in Giddens. I feel like we get 1-2 at the very least. Any 1 of those players plus Giddens is a REALLY good class. Anything more than 1-2 of those 6 plus Giddens is gravy.

Out of the three 5-Stars (Petty, Sexton, Brown) I predict we get 1 of them.
Out of the three 4-Stars (Herb, Reese, Rayshaun) I predict we get 2 of them.

I don't know where one 5-Star & two 4-Stars puts you on the Team rankings at the end of the recruiting cycle, but I'm guessing somewhere between the 15th to the 25th best class? That's putting Bama on the map, plus we have a hidden gem in Daniel Giddens who does not count toward the class officially. Combine that great class with the great season I think we are about to have, and this could definitely push Alabama into The right direction of being a football and basketball school.
