3. Alabama
Number of verbal commitments: 11
Key recruit: Reuben Foster
Still on the board: Robert Nkemdiche
Next year's name to know: Bo Scarborough
Freshman to follow: Kerryon Johnson
Comment: Nick Saban continues to assemble a talented, versatile class with plenty of room to improve. However, it may not be the epic class that seemed like a strong possibility a few months ago, now that Max Browne has committed to USC and Robert Nkemdiche appears more up-for-grabs. Still, Alabama has six Top 100 recruits and is in the mix for several others, most notably Nkemdiche. Interestingly, Alabama is recruiting hard in New Jersey, having already landed Anthony Averett and is still pursuing Quan Muhammad. Kevin Olsen, who would fill a position of need, may no longer be a possibility.
