Alabama Football: Tide recruiting numbers crunch, 22 recruits for 10 slots

Due to grayshirts and blue shirts from last season’s recruiting cycle, Alabama football cannot sign 25 new players in the 2018 class. The Alabama football number is believed to be 22, with perhaps a small chance to make it 23.

A top five recruiting class is still possible, even with only 22 new players. The overall class will not match schools who are able to bring in 25 or more players through the use of back-counters. Based on the Tide’s current 12 verbal commits, Alabama football is No. 16 in the 247 Sports Team Rankings.
