NSD 2013: Who Is Left On Alabama's Recruiting Board (Article by RollBamaRoll)

National Signing Day is Wednesday, February 6, 2013 and everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats in anticipation as to whether the Bama Fax Girl will be back!

After that major development is settled, it comes down to counting up the faxes that arrive on campus. At this point, 22 young men have given their verbal commitment to attend the University of Alabama. The exact total that Coach Nick Saban can sign is unknown at this time due to Brandon Hill's possible back-counting to 2012 and Bradley Bozeman taking a greyshirt to count towards the 2014 class. More greyshirts are possible as well.

Crazy things happen on NSD, but we should expect a pretty uneventful one as far as guys possibly flipping away from Alabama (mostly because I don't think there will be any). Instead let's focus on who may fill the last few openings and who might flip to the Tide. From the list below, it is pretty evident defensive line is a priority, followed by one O-lineman and maybe one more defensive back. Also, there is one RB that they might take and a certain 5-star that you may have heard of.

Hey this was a great report. It was also very uplifting and brings smiles to my face over and over. We might be closing with one of the strongest classes ever. My, My, what a future we have as Tide fans. RTR!

The Rueben Foster saga appears it's ugly head again as news leaked out last night about Foster leaving Auburn on his official visit and coming to T-town. After what Foster did to the Bama program nationally when he decomitted from them earlier, you have to wonder if this is another scheme to try and tarnish the Crimson Tide again on a national level.

The story involved with the reason for his leaving Auburn seems a little farfetched to me but again we are talking about Auburn and the conduct of their players in the past. This might have happened and this isn't just another publicity ploy by Foster trying to get his name on the headlines of the sports world again. The idea of Foster to commit on Monday and the NSD is on Wednesday sure leaves a time frame for another decommit by Foster on NSD to get that media attention that he seems to love so much. JMHO

Talking heads seem to think he really is coming to T-Town and rumors are swirling that he is trying to bring Montravius Adams with him.

This is not Alabama related but I wanted to share it anyway.

Austin's Josh Walker has committed to Navy. He made his official this weekend. I have enjoyed watching this kid play high school ball. He is an honor student with a 3.8 GPA. I think he has made a great decision.

You have a right to be proud of this kid. Naval Academy appointments don't come cheap. Lifetime of commitment to excellence.

I'm glad he made that decision. I'll bet his parents are too.

That is quite an honor, kudos to the young man.

The FSCR station was going to show the New College Footbal show and as it came on they brought up a Hockey. I can't watch it now. RTR!

Is the Foster commitment the beginning of something spectacular about to happen for Bama recruiting this year? Somehow I get the feeling that the recruits this year want a class that can better what the senior class of this year accomplished in their career at Bama. If that is the case, there may be some more pleasant surprises to come.

I think you are right. The only problem......is there room for them all? With the Foster commitment, I believe that makes 22 so far. If A'Shawn Robinson is truly going to commit, that will make 23. All talking heads say Liner is solid to Bama so he would be 24 and if Kamara is truly a Bama lean, then that's 25, the limit. If Vanderdoes, M. Adams, Connor and Jarran Reed commit, not to mention long shots V. Bell and Nkemdiche, where do you put them or who do you grey shirt or cut loose?

It's a great problem to have, but has got to be giving our beloved head coach some gray hairs.

I think the grey shirt route will be the escape route. I also feel there are some on the team that hasn't progressed to become competitive for a position (injury or lack of skills) that might go work on their studies and give up football.

You can bet that the coaches are burning some time working on the numbers game though, I don't see them letting highly skilled players get away at this point and time. If CNS and staff were to pull off something to land these players, you can bet there will be another new rule imposed for next year.

Good discussion of our competition.  Frankly, I don't see FSU as a contender.  OSU, yes.

Looks like LSU stands to gain the most, or lose the most, depending on how you look at it. They've got a lot of in state talent to either haul in, or run off.

[ricky023]

I would think LSU is a legitimate contender. They are recruiting against us for the same guys. These guys can swing a class either way. Whoever wins Alabama or LSU there will be some great players coming ob board. JMHO. RTR!
