Alabama signed six five-star prospects, according to 247Composite, and six in-state players. Alabama offered a grayshirt to Hoover defensive end Christian Bell two weeks ago and he was not announced as a signee on Wednesday. He will likely wait until next January to enroll in Tuscaloosa.

The class is headlined by five-star quarterback Blake Barnett, five-star running back Damien Harris and five-star wide receiver Calvin Ridley. ...

Alabama's 24-member class "solved some needs" head coach Nick Saban said, highlighted by bring in a stellar defensive back group of five players. The secondary remained an issue at times in 2014 and Saban sought to remedy with a group that includes five-star cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick, safety Shawn Burgess-Becker (four stars), safety Ronnie Harrison (four stars), cornerback Kendall Sheffield (four stars) and safety Denote Thompson (four stars).

Another area of strength in the class came along the offensive line with five signees, including Tuscaloosa's own, Lester Cotton. The group also contains Brandon Kennedy, Richie Petition, Dallas Warmack and Matt Womack. Warmack is the younger brother of former UA offensive lineman and All-American Chance Warmack. "We're excited about the offensive line players that we have," Saban said. "It was a real emphasis for us to get a couple tackle types, Lester may be able to play tackle, Womack definitely has the length to do that, very impressed with him athletically. We have a diverse group there, which I think is important. I really think the tackle-types is something that we really want to focus on in the future and we really wanted to focus on in this class."

"One of the very good things about this class is we didn't have a lot of drama today," Saban said. "These guys have been committed to us for awhile. They've all kind of had their signing day or whatever, announcements, and most of them stuck to it. "That's not the way to get the most attention from the media but that certainly speaks highly of what a commitment means. I'm really proud of hte players that we got from that standpoint." - See more at: https://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1733799#sthash.eigQ0suN.dpuf

I have looked at what CNS said about the excitement and no flippin and stuff, and I agree this is the way recruiting should be done. Our coaches are to given great Kudos for the job they did. All of this talent, our future looks good. It may last well past my time cheering for University of Alabama Crimson Tide. RTR!

I miss the web site with the player photos and profiles for the recruits, and confirming when they sign.  Was that TideSports?

Brother Ricky, you sound like you may be planning on checking out sometime in the not so distant future.  Sure hope that isn't the case.  I am looking forward to watching these new kids playing for our beloved Tide.

Hey NALT, I never know, lol. i do too want to see these big talents come in learn un Coach and win the big one. I will admit I am like one of the crazies for Bama I want a National Championship every year. rofl, RTR!

There is nothing wrong with wanting a National Championship every year.  The key is how you handle yourself the 50% of the time when it doesn't happen.
