This time last year, the quiet concern for Alabama's offense was the receivers. Everyone knew about the quarterback questions, but who'd be catching the passes also posed a problem.
The summer addition of Richard Mullaney proved wise. Nick Saban saw a gap in the experience of his receivers so he grabbed the Oregon State transfer. It looks like they went the same route to replace Mullaney's 38 catches in the national championship season.
In what's becoming an increasingly popular second recruiting avenue, Alabama got a commitment Saturday from Bowling Green receiver Gehrig Dieter. At 6-foot-3, Dieter appeared to split out wide at the MAC school, but the best opportunity would be in the slot.
