Much of the drama of this recruiting cycle for the Crimson Tide and many other top Power-5 programs played out back in December during the Early Signing Period. 292 of the top 300 recruits ranked by the 247sports composite are already signed or firmly committed.
Alabama has 22 recruits who signed early, 13 of whom are already enrolled in classes (EE). The two McEachern commits signed early this morning while you were dragging your sorry arses out of bed. Including those two, the general belief is the Tide will sign five during the second signing period, known as “National Signing Day”.
