To give you a perspective, Bama at Rivals.com has 12 players with a RR value of 6.0 or 6.1 (the highest). 2nd place OSU only had 6. 3rd place Florida has 7. TAMU at 10th place has 1.

Bama got 14 of the 100 players, 6 in the top 26.

This is the best class in Rivals history.

It's one of the best classes ever put together on paper.

We'll see how they come together as a team, but looking at Saban's resume, that'll probably be another national title.

Bama board bro. Really solid class.

All too 5 classes are elite though. All about development.

Really good, but in the end its about how good it filled every need. thats what makes it the most effective. I'm not close enough to the program to know that exactly, but they do need to rebuild that awesome OL....just as we need to rebuild most of our defense.

By far the best class Rivals.com has ever been fortunate enough to see.

Really like the class. Getting Foster and Robinson late really solidified some concerns I had at MLB and DL moving forward.

The difference between this class and the competition is that its solid from A-Z. Most years you have a few kids who you wonder if they can compete. This year if you watch the film there are about 15 kids who seem to have all-conference or better potential.

Lol. Alabama doesn't have holes or needs to fill. They just reload.

Easy to do when all the recruiting services give your commits a bump...

True story. Thing about LSU recruiting on defense is that I just give y'all the benefit of the doubt at this point. You get plenty of 5* kids, but even the borderline kids without fail turn into monsters after 2-3 years.

Thankfully we signed a couple kids I like at OL. Picking up the JUCO kid at RT will hopefully make the transition less painful than it would've been otherwise. Definitely won't be an all-time line like last year, but we could be solid and with AJ and Cooper back that might be enough to get us back into the mix next year.

With the exception of Parker McLeod.

Yeah not sold on his film, but I guess I'll defer to Saban on this one.

Actually Saban has proven he knows how to develop. Have you watched the first two rounds of the NFL draft the last 5-6 years. It's going to be more about keeping these guys content enough to not transfer because of playing time.
