TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It's the homestretch for the recruiting class of 2017, as national signing day is Feb. 1, and Alabama is in its usual position of adding another group of stellar prospects.
Alabama's signing class recently fell to No. 2 in the Scout rankings, barely behind Georgia, but the two programs could be neck-and-neck until the end, with Ohio State still within striking distance.
The 247Sports composite rankings, which factors in most of the major media recruiting services, gives Alabama a slight lead over Ohio State and Georgia.
Heading into the final weekend, Alabama has 24 commitments, 12 of whom have already enrolled.
