Wow. We are very active. I think the coaches are going for players that are very active too!

2017 will go down as one of the best Alabama recruiting classes in quite some time. The staff is out there making sure they leave no stone unturned.

Holy cow.

Yep like that image of the tweet said, he is unique. I read somewhere he is ineligible for his senior season too.

Any idea what the reason might be?

We are in on a ton of guys. Hopefully we can land a few we really want.

If you made it down to the bottom of the list Jimmy's .02 will likely be pretty accurate. The big name Alabama recruits are blowing up this summer. Reese, Garrison, and Jones on paper would be even bigger gets than Haha if we managed to sign any of them.

My thoughts on the in-state recruits is they are all waiting for the next big piece to fall. After one commits I expect most of the rest to do so. The next big piece could be John Petty - who is reportedly down to Alabama & Kentucky. If he chooses Alabama I could see them landing Petty, Reese, & Jones. Possibly even Jamal Johnson if they had room.

I'm thinking the following right now: Alex Reese & Herb Jones to Alabama. Garrison Brooks to Georgia. Jamal Johnson to UAB.
-A lot could change between now & November but those would be my guesses

One name that has been blowing up is Tevin Brown from Fairhope. Another in-state guy that has offers from a lot of CUSA schools & other mid majors. His coach said we are recruiting him but no offer, yet.
