Where do we stand? 2/5

[CoolBreeze]

Well, we have picked up three studs today with only two more on the board (Waddle & Langham). ITS is still a possibility (qualifying issue notwithstanding) but looks like we are going to have 3 or more spots to fill. I know there is a plan in place for this but I would still bet a walk on or two could get some good news this year.

Saban focuses on things that he can change. No matter how this class shakes out, Saban will get back to work tomorrow.

You know he's on the phone with 2019 kids at this moment. He's not waiting until tomorrow.

The good news - is that he will be able to use the Press Reports that Bama is on the decline as motivation for 2018.....and 2019 recruiting....

I just don't think we take a 6th DB in this class.

It’s simple join the tide or get ran over

I think we get Waddle and lose Langham

This...and the fact that expectations are now going through the roof for UGA to win it all from now on. You can't tell me that won't go to the UGA freshmen's heads at some point. I think we are still in a great spot. CNS knows exactly how to use it all.

Man, he's going to work super hard this fall to lock up the class in December, and come Feburary .. he'll say "Bye" to everyone who drags their feet.

With the way we finished this year I have a feeling the players will not be the only ones hearing Saban say "Finish".

Meanwhile ASU and Edwards is ranked 76th and 12th in PAC conference....doesn't feel so bad now

Alabama has lost three OC's and two DC's over the last two years, basically the recruiting time of this class, and is still going to have a top 5 class.

I'd say we are doing pretty good.

We are no. 9 right now

I'd say we are doing pretty good.

That's the big picture... and is what matters.... Not many other schools could go through that many coordinators in such a short time frame and STILL remain in the top 5, or top 20 for that matter!

Hopefully Waddle and Langham roll with Bama today..... that would probably put them back close to the top

It would probably inch closer to a number 6 or so...according to which ranking site you're looking at

True, but with the way today has gone, what are our chances of getting both?

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

You never know...... living in Georgia, I have heard for awhile that Bama wouldn’t get anyone because of Kirby Smart...... yet Bama has gotten some good players

There is a reason Saban made a big staffing change this year. Frankly, the 2017 staff under-performed in recruiting. If we have another class like this in 2019 then we'd have cause for concern (not panic though). It doesn't seem to be going that way. I think we already have as many commits as we had around Summer of last year for this incoming class.

I'm good with that. But I'm one of those that look at the average over a 3-4 year period and look at the "NEEDS FILLED" factor. It ain't always about the class ranking but about the development once they're in the fold.

We're good.
