Who Do We Finish With?

I am thinking Ruggs at LB would like to say Peterson but I think we miss on him, two of Copeland, Ross and Waddle at WR, one QB Foster or Tyson and we are still in on like three five star corners possibly one of them.

I believe Tyson is 2019/

In his presser today, Saban said they can take 23 guys in this class. After today, 15 LOIs are signed. Have four guys that have not signed yet. Michael Parker isn't expected to be apart of this class anyway, so we have about 5 or so spots left in the class of 2018.

Man, I don't like this early signing deal. I'm thinking about the playoffs, not recruiting right now. But it does look like we have a good start. Does anyone have a list of the big names we are in play with for the regular signing day.

Also, now that we have an early signing day, and a regular signing day, can a recruit sign anytime in between the two if they want to?

Thanks in advance for any info. Krymsonman

I'd like to piggyback on your post.

As of tonight, we can sign 23. 15 are already signed. We're down to 3 commits: Parker (TE) expected to greyshirt, Walker (LB) who may not be solid, and Jackson (DE/LB?) who seems to be solid. So, we can sign 6-7 more. I would like at least one more DT and one more DB for sure.

Are these our most likely gets?
Panei Sewell (OG) - I would think this might close out OL slots this year
Tre Brown and/or Tyler Friday - DT
Isaac Taylor-Stuart - DB
Peterson and/or Ruggs - LB
Langham - DE
James Foster - QB

I would think at least 1 more receiver would be added we lead for Copeland, and Ross and Waddle are possibilities as well.

Don't have a list but some names have been tossed out in this thread. Also this early signing period goes through Friday and then they have to wait until February.

Peterson is following Pruitt.

I doubt Ruggs is in this class, either. Just don't see him making the cut.

We may or may not sign a QB in this class. Depends in how it goes with our other 8 spots.

Do you think he is not talented enough or too few spots with higher profile guys?

The good thing is that we have two excellent QB's on campus. And they are both young.

RTR knows a lot more than myself about all this, but I saw Ruggs in person a couple of times this year, kid can play.

Never saw him...but if he has the athletic ability of Henry Ruggs then we need him somehow, someway...

Is there a jucoll DT or large DE that is a "silent"? Maybe a grad transfer? We can use some immediate contributors on the interior

Looks like we passed on the only JUCO DT we were recruiting. Barmore can contribute immediately and I think we are going to get Brown out of TX and he appears to be a guy who could contribute immediately also.

BAMAVILLE · Dec 21, 2017

Really hoping we can pull Isaac Taylor-Stuart

I also wouldn`t be surprised if we slide inside someone already on the team at DE.

Felt good about it until we lost Nadab Joseph, hopefully we can land one of the bigger fish but that was a tough one to lose out on.

I think Bama dodged a bullet by not getting Joseph. Seems like a prima donna.

That hasn't qualified...

I agree. Dude got upset that Bama wouldn't let him sign early because of grade concerns.

Interesting he says we might lead for Campbell. The DB class will be over the top if we land his signature also.
