9 years of top 5 classes for Saban and the boards getting nervous about recruiting?
Well, the last two years have been no signing day drama and the wood was in the shed going into NSD just waiting on faxes. This is either going to be a NSD watching the hats or several verbals coming over the next three weeks, so what do you think we are trending towards this year.

To quote TiderJ in another thread:

"Most of our remaining targets will announce on NSD or close to it and we will close very, very strong."

What is the biggest need with 8 or so spots open?

Wide Receivers and Linebackers I assume. Any other glaring spots that you guys see.

Running Backs or Defense?

Mecole Hardman, Jr. tweeted yesterday he's taking a visit this weekend to Ohio State. Not real big on that idea.

I think we would take a RB if the right one wanted to come. Not necessarily a must take, as long as Emmons is ok in the classroom.

We definitely want to add 2 bodies on the DL. We need Kongbo.

At least 2 LBs, if not 3 due to who is interested. Can't turn down that kind of talent.

At least 1 WR.

1 CB and 1 S, if I had to bet.

So...let's see, my wish list:

WR : Demetris Robertson, AJ Brown, M.Jones
TE : Devin Asiasi
DL : Terrell Hall, Jamar King, Michail Carter, Derrick Brown, Jeffrey Simmons, Johnathan Kongbo
LB : Ben Davis, Lyndell Wilson, D Jackson
DB : Shyheim Carter, Mecole Hardman Jr., Nigel Knott, Nigel Warrior
OL : Jauan Williams

Others in the mix according to BOL:

OT Tramonda Moore
ATH Jack Jones
WR Tyler Vaughns
LB Erroll Thompson
LB Jeff McColloch

Visits wise, it would appear that we have shots at kids in all these positions. My ranking as to needs (IMO)
1. DL (Due to attrition plus we`ve seen what 3-4 quality down DL guys can mean)
2. OT (Do you ever have enough quality OL?)
3. LB
4.DB (S and/or C)
5. Ath/WR

Yea I think the 2 JUCO DL (King and Kongbo) are 2 that are needed immediately as when the DL announcing they are leaving early along with Lake, Pettway and Reed, Bama is going to need some immediate depth at DL.

With Tomlinson, Hand, Payne, Frasier, and if Williams and Anderson stay, that is a good nucleus, but need to add to that depth.

Williams announced today he was staying. That's big.

He's more the size of the Clemson ends. Long and leaner.
