Re: How Many Players Can Alabama Sign
We typically sign 25 every year. There have been a few classes with a little less. Coach Saban knows how to manage roster spots.
Re: How Many Players Can Alabama Sign
It looks like Bama could end up with:
Gregory Little
Dexter Lawrence
Lyndell Wilson
Jeffery Simmons
Nigel Warrior
Ben Davis
Terrell Hall
Nigel Knott
That's not mentioning WRs.
Do you have any idea which top WRs are leaning toward Bama?
What about Shyheim Carter, Demetris Robertson, and Rashard Lawrence?
Thanks for any insight, TiderJ and others.
So, if Bama is taking 25, that leaves 8 spots left, and likely a few more, considering decommitments, players being told to look elsewhere, etc.

Re: How Many Players Can Alabama Sign
All of the players you mentioned are in play. Cavin Ridley (Calvin's brother) and the WR who was committed to FSU (can't recall his name) are 2 WR's to keep your eye on along with Robertson. Devin White at RB is a big target at RB also.

However many we do sign.
Every year, it looks like we don't have room for all the commitments. Talking heads and ink-stained wretches, all convinced of Saban treachery, never mind their incomplete information, shout from the mountaintop about the injustice of over-signing.
Between non-qualifiers, transfers, and greyshirts, it always works out. On top of that, every recruit knows his position. So while there may be some disappointments, nobody feels misled.
Media types are then quiet as the grave about Saban and ignore true misleaders in their own back yard. Lather, rinse, repeat next year.

As others have said, it's difficult to have any idea on this.
Looking at the roster, and I see 19 seniors that are presumably on scholarship.
Here are 9 juniors (again, presumably on scholarship) that could possibly leave early (not saying they all should or will, but ones that could):
Ryan Anderson
Tim Williams
Dalvin Tomlinson
Reuben Foster
Derrick Henry
O.J. Howard
Eddie Jackson
Jonathan Allen
A'Shawn Robinson

I hate seeing Bama so far down in the rankings but I believe this year we are going to have a higher than ususal coaching turnover which will result in a higher than usual flip flopping of kids. God only knows how all that will shake out.
He needs to develop his pass rush - using proper leverage and hand technique to deal with offensive lineman..
Man, I'd hate to lose all of that talent in addition to our seniors. Some studs on that list...
Logically, I don't see that many juniors leaving. A'Shawn is gone. Ditto Henry. Anybody else would be making a mistake.
Human nature being what it is, they might make that mistake, but it would be the wrong decision.
I wouldn't be quick to say A'Shawn is gone. I haven't seen him in the first round of any mock drafts this year.

first Robinson is a first round pick and will turn pro. Second why do we try this every year? Let Saban worry about it and enjoy the moments he is giving us.
Kiper has A'Shawn as the #5 DL and Jarran #3. A'Shawn is maybe a late 1st or early 2nd guy and think he is gone.
Maybe because this is a message board where Alabama fans talk about Alabama recruiting.
Probably on target with this. Heck, I'll be thrilled if even J Allen sticks for another season.
