Bama Has #2 Recruiting Class In The Nation So Far. So, We're Good On Paper, Right?

With signing day coming up on February 6, all of us die heard college football fans will be watching to see who lands the big stars coming out of high school.  And for Alabama fans, it means we get to see a class come in like we haven't seen in a long time.

 

Scout.com has Alabama ranked with the 2nd best recruiting class so far this season, only behind Notre Dame and just ahead of Georgia.  As I have stated before, this means absolutely nothing until the ink dries, but it sure is fun to watch all of these top recruits give the Tide a verbal commitment.

 

A Scout.com recruiting analyst had this to say about Alabama's recruiting class so far (which is within reach of the #1 recruiting class):

 

 “They [Alabama] wanted an athletic quarterback and got Star Jackson. They needed big time play makers at wide receiver and got Melvin Ray, Chris Jackson and Destin Hood.”

“Burton Scott could star on either side of the ball at receiver or cornerback. Mark Barron could star at receiver, safety or grow into a linebacker. Devonta Bolton could play either receiver or linebacker.”

“The Tide did well in the trenches with a great one in Tyler Love. On the other side of the ball they have committed seven defensive linemen, including 385 pound tackle Junior College transfer Terrance Cody as well as some athletic ends in Courtney Upshaw, Michael Williams and Dont’a Hightower.”

“Damian Square has a chance to be an outstanding outside linebacker and Robby Green is a gem at cornerback.”

Alabama has received 26 commitments with two counting as a part of the 2007 class after enrolling in January. Wide receiver Chris Jackson and kicker/punter Corey Smith will get a jump start for Spring with the two allowed to practice with the team.

 

You can only take these recruiting rankings so serious to a certain degree, because the kids have to actually sign with Alabama, first of all, but they have to do well once they get their.  But having top ranked recruiting classes over the years surely hasn't hurt schools like Florida and USC.  So, yeah, I'm excited.
