Nick Saban Has Alabama Atop SEC Recruiting Race Again
Filed under: Alabama, SEC, Recruiting, Prospects
In the final push toward National Signing Day 2011 on Feb. 2, FanHouse will examine the recruiting efforts of a major conference in twice-weekly notebooks. As always, recruiting is an always-changing landscape — and there are several high-profile players who remain uncommitted. Here is FanHouse’s review of the Southeastern Conference.
The Best
ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE
Total commitments (as of Jan. 24): 21
Five- and four-star commitments: 15
The 411: Long story short … The 2011 Crimson Tide recruiting class is as good as it gets. Alabama recently vaulted Texas for the top-rated recruiting class in the nation as rated by Rivals.com, and it is easy to see why — with commitments from five-star high school teammates like DB Hasean Clinton-Dix (6-2, 190, Orlando, Fla., Dr. Phillips HS) and RB Demetrius Hart (5-8, 190, Orlando, Fla., Dr. Phillips HS). Although their class took a hit when RB/LB Brent Calloway switched his commitment to Auburn, Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide are still in line to bring in the nation’s top recruit — DE Jadeveon Clowney (6-5, 235, Rock Hill, S.C., South Pointe HS) as well as massive OT Cyrus Kouandjio (6-7, 295, Hyattsville, Md., Dematha Catholic HS).
