***Alternates
Noa Pola-Gates 4* S/CB 6’2” 180 lbs
Jalen McCollough 4* S 6’0” 195 lbs
Rashaad Cheney 4* DT 6’2” 270 lbs
Vontae Bentley 4* ILB 6’0” 220 lbs
Will Reichard #1 K/P 6’1” 185 lbs

Notes: I included R. Cheney in the alternates because even though he is currently committed, I do not believe we will have room for him at this time. Also have heard there may be some academic concerns with him.

 

[BamaFan334]

I heard McCollough was a take. Hillgrove has put out some talent, and he is a good size defensive back that I would like to get. I also heard Trey Sanders is staying in Florida.

 

[yellowhammer86]

The allure for Sanders at Florida is his brother being at UF. I'm still not quite ready to close the book on him just yet though. McCollough is definitely a take, I just feel like we may have a DB or two higher on the board right now. Of course, recruiting is fluid, and could change in an instant. But, these are the 28 I'd say give Bama possibly the best recruiting class of all time as of today.

 

[Tidestalker]

Like the thread... Appreciate any recruiting tidbits as I've fallen so far behind.

I'll check out some tape on these dudes this weekend, always enjoy seeing the next crop.

Check em out. I'll try and update this thread between now and NSD. Alfano had just informed our staff that he will commit to Alabama tomorrow.

 

[yellowhammer86]

I think this will be by far the best OL and DL haul of the Saban Era.

 

[colbyjacks]

Is this a wish list or what you think we actually get? Some of these seem like longer odds: Pickens, Sanders, Ealy, Zipperer, etc.

 

[yellowhammer86]

If Ealy doesn't go MLB, he's Bama. Pickering I believe is Bama, Zipperer is really only elite TE we have a shot at, and Sanders is likely UF, but we are still in it.

Pete Golding is killing it in Mississippi

 

[colbyjacks]

Thanks for the info!! It seems a lot of recruits have said a ton of good things about Golding.

 

[yellowhammer86]

This is a rockstar staff recruiting wise. Big things are happening. I'd be very surprised if Alabama doesn't break the all time recruiting class record for 2019.

I can't imagine getting all these guys on your first list, simply based on the odds. Of course, I didn't imagine 4 NCs in 9 years either. This would be an incredible get - and yet the rumblings indicate that we have a great shot with most everyone on your list! Roll Tide!

And it's about time someone killed it in MS. Seems like the bag man has kept some great recruits from fall visits for YEARS. Maybe the time is finally right? With both programs with new coaches, and the fact that they will probably struggle. Add in that LSU is faltering, and Arky has a new coach, all Mississippi eyes should be looking east!!!

Did you imagine 5 in 9 years though?

 

[yellowhammer86]

Exit Hugh Freeze, enter Coach Golding. Recruiting being what it is, I can almost guarantee we don't sign every player on my list, but odds are better than not on each player listed. That in itself is an incredible feat.

 

[yellowhammer86]

The most important fact being thrown around, I believe, is that EVERY recruit Saban has signed since 2007, has a National Championship ring.

 

[yellowhammer86]

I was told from someone who knows to substitute Kevin Harris for Lakia Henry.

You should clarify that a bit... Corey Grant doesn't have a ring h/t...there are many more that left the program prior to getting their NC ring.

Those who trusted the process...this stat was from a recruiting poster from the University
