Alabama finds itself in unfamiliar territory, rated No. 7 nationally in 247Sports composite class rankings less than two weeks away from national signing day. Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban has claimed five consecutive top-ranked recruiting classes in Tuscaloosa, but at this stage, odds seem to be against him extending that streak to six straight No. 1 hauls.
That outlook could drastically change if Alabama is able to secure premier in-state prospects Ben Davis and Lyndell "Mack" Wilson, though. The 5-star linebackers, considered two of America's most prized uncommitted defensive recruits, both include the Crimson Tide on their short lists of collegiate options.
