So, where is the Crown Jewel Countdown already??

JK, I know you guys put a lot of time and effort into the countdown and of course I always look forward to it. Take your time putting it together. Just for my patience-sake, around when do you plan on trying to put it together?
Thanks.

Yes, which is better?? The #1 OL of the nation, or the #1 DT of the nation, or the #1 DB of the nation??? Great problem to have :biggrin2:.
I get your point- we had a potentially great recruiting haul. However, I don't think any service has us with the top DT. One in the top ten-Frazier - and 2 more in the top thirty - Smith and Dwight. Maybe you refer to top ranked DE Dashawn Hand?

Oh, there are also the 1 and 2 cornerbacks. the 1 and top 5 outside LBs. A top ten inside LB . . What a great time to be a Crimson Tide fan!

I stand corrected. I did mean Hand. He was recruited as a DE, but I believe that I read somewhere that he could play as a DT if needed. Nevertheless, I am sure that we will agree that Dashawn Hand will develope into a great player. And, I read some people think that Tony Brown should be the best cornerback, and I have read that some people think that Humphrey is the best cornerback. I think that is a good problem to have. An arguement about the best corner in the nation, and they are on the same team.

If you base this list mostly on need, we might end up with Coker at the #1 spot. I'm curious how Rivals and 24/7 would rate Coker right now in comparison to other Juco guys or even HS recruits. I think he was a 3* coming out of HS. Would his stock rise to a 4* or 5* today?
I only bring this up because we may see a lot more of this type of transfering after graduation. More kids are starting school early. With redshirts and kids in summer school, more kids will be graduating with 1-2 yrs of eligibility remaining. Chad Lindsay this year. Harrison Jones and Wilson Love could have done this. I'm curious how these situations will affect recruiting in the future.

We'll get to it in due time, but no reason to rush right now. It's a long way until fall camp, folks.

It does seem to give more flexability to the players and even schools in need of immediate help. Most of these student athletes have at least worked hard on their studies and stayed relatively free from trouble to graduate early.

Looking forward to the Crown Jewel and also the "4 years later" assessment Jess puts out from time to time.
