With 8 states already represented in 2014 class, Alabama continues its national recruiting push (Article)
When he made his commitment official Friday, David Cornwell didn't just give Alabama its quarterback of the future.
He gave the Crimson Tide its first Oklahoman of the Nick Saban era.
Two days later, wide receiver Derek Kief announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide, bringing Alabama's class of 2014 up to 12. With Kief hailing from Cincinnati, his pledge further diversified the group, as Alabama currently holds commitments from players who represent eight different states.
The class goes all the way to the west coast (OG Viane Talamaivao; Corona, Calif.), extends through the Rocky Mountains (K JK Scott; Denver), dips into Texas (LB Zach Whitley; Houston), taps into the trusty football pipelines in Louisiana (DT O.J. Smith; Bossier City) and Georgia (three players) and even includes someone right in the Crimson Tide's backyard (RB Bo Scarbrough; Northport).

This isn't a new trend for Alabama; just one that isn't going away anytime soon. Alabama had 13 different states represented in its 2013 class, 10 in 2012 and 11 in 2011.
In 2008, 18 of Alabama's 32 commitments came from the home state.
All told, Alabama has received commitments/signed players from 24 different states since Saban took over in 2007.
