Top 10 Recruiting Classes heading into National Signing Day
1. Alabama Crimson Tide
The Alabama Crimson Tide are still the best team in the SEC as evidenced by their number one recruiting class. They’ve had the number one recruiting class for the past seven seasons.
The Crimson Tide earned 25 commitments in this year’s recruiting class, five of them are 5-stars. Ohio State is the only other team with commitments from five 5-star prospects.
With 13 commits on offense and nine on defense, the Crimson Tide have reloaded at key positions. They got another dual-threat quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa, a native of Honolulu, Hawaii. Tagovailoa ranks 32nd nationally and is the number one rated dual-threat quarterback in this year’s class.
In addition, Isaiah Buggs, out of Gulf Coast Community College, should strengthen an already stout defensive line. Buggs ranks second nationally at strong-side defensive end among JUCO players at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds. He could contribute right away to an Alabama defense that lost defensive ends Jonathan Allen and Dalvin Tomlinson.
At either rate, look for the Crimson Tide to have a strong team again in 2017. They could be even scarier on offense.
