All-Time Top Five:

1. 2021 Alabama - 324.78
2. 2010 Florida - 324.62
3. 2017 Alabama - 323.87
4. 2018 Georgia - 323.31
5. 2013 Alabama - 319.50

Naturally, none of this means anything if they don't produce on the field, but it is impressive.

If it is better than your 2017 class it will officially ruin the sport. How many first rounders came out of that 2017 class? Has to be damn near double digits.

Also gotta hold on to Cam Wheaton for it to stick, and/or or get 1-2 of our other top targets.

We have found out that some highly rated players just don't pan out and play up to their rankings, but the more you get, the better the chance that you will have a great team.

This class for Alabama is very impressive, and Saban and staff usually do a very good job of motivating and developing their players.

It's a very impressive class.

Noice! Playing with the class calculator, if we want to beat out the 2010 UF class, we have to either hang on to Cam Wheaton, pick up JTT, or pick up both of Terrion Arnold and Brian Thomas.

There may be other scenarios, but these are the 3 most likely from what I can tell.

4 so far

1. Tua Tagovailoa (5th overall-2020)
2. Jedrick Wills (10th overall-2020)
3. Henry Ruggs III (12th overall-2020)
4. Jerry Jeudy (15th overall-2020)


Have a shot at four more in the 2021 Draft (Smith, Leatherwood, Jones, Harris).

The offensive line signees alone are what make the class so unbelievable.

And y'all did it with three fewer players.

And to your point, Florida only had one great season in 2012 with that class.
