He went to Tennessee with a top five of South Carolina, West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF and Tennessee, but Alabama has recently stepped into the picture. He no longer has a top five, he said. He will be visiting Cincinnati this weekend.

“Tennessee is No. 1 so far on my list,” Howard said. “I will have a top three probably in another week or so. Alabama has been talking to me also and I’m going to see where they stand in about a week."

He looks like he's cut from a similar mold as Sammy Watkins at Clemson. Definetly a get him in space type player.
That's a good comparison as far as speed, quickness and a nose for the end zone. It apprears he is not as tall as Watkins and looks more like a Marquis Maze or Antonio Carter size wise. I'm very impressed with him.

Not sure if we have room for another WR in this class unless he brings something that our WR core doesn't have a lot of like DGB has with the total package of size, blocking and speed. We've got plenty of players similar to him in our last two classes and most of them haven't even seen the field yet. I'm pretty happy with the WRs we got in this class and UA still needs to address a few more positions like DL, DB, TE

I tend to agree with you about not much room left in this class, especially for ATH/WRs. Alton Howard does not even have a Bama offer yet and I will be surprised if he gets one.

I think if Bama takes any other WRs it would be Dorial Green-Beckham and/or Joshua Harvey-Clemons, who Bama is recruiting as a WR.
