Alabama Football: Ranking Crimson Tide’s last 10 recruiting classes

4. 2014

Best Player: Cam Robinson
Best Value: JK Scott

This class might not have a guy as good as Amari Cooper or Landon Collins, but it’s deeper. Almost every prospect hit in this class to some extent. Cam Robinson was an absolute bookend for the offensive line. Da’Shawn Hand was a defensive stud on the line. In the secondary, Tony Brown was a scrappy player for his entire collegiate career. Also, Marlon Humphrey was a lockdown corner.

Christian Miller had a few injuries that kept him from flourishing in college, but he was still a great player when he got on the field. The same can be said about Shaun Dion Hamilton.

Jarran Reed was a great defensive lineman that played alongside A’Shawn Robinson. You got some quality offensive linemen in JC Hassenauer and Ross Pierschbacher.

Bo Scarbrough was another piece in this class. He never panned out the way some expected him to, but he was a quality rotation back that overcame injuries.

A changeup in this class was JK Scott. It’s not often you get to talk about a punter as a recruiting asset, but Scott isn’t an average punter. He was worth a few points by himself per game due to his ability to flip field position.

All in all, this class was incredibly deep and successful. Not every player blossomed into an All-American, but the hit rate on these guys is incredibly high, and that’s all you can ask for. You might not have a star receiver or quarterback, but you still got a lot. More than almost every other school could even ask for.
