Alabama Football: As dead period ends, few slots for so many top targets

The summer NCAA Dead Period ends this week and Alabama football is poised to add one or two players. Friday through Sunday will be busy in Tuscaloosa because the Crimson Tide is having a second Champions Cookout.

Coming out of the Dead Period, Alabama football has a big lead in having the top 2019 signing class. The Tide has 20 verbal commitments for the 2019 class. Adding only 4-Star and 5-Star prospects, Alabama football could easily gain 32 (or more) commits.

How many players can really be added?

Teams have multiple ways to sign more than 25 players in a class.
