With less than two weeks remaining until national signing day, it’s not surprising to see Alabama as the program that holds the inside track to finish with the No. 1 class in the 2017 recruiting haul.

The Crimson Tide sit comfortably atop the Scout.com team rankings, and they will aim to put the finishing touches on a loaded class this weekend when they host a talented group of visitors on campus.

According to 247Sports, six commitments from the class are scheduled to be in Tuscaloosa.

This will give head coach Nick Saban and his staff an opportunity to lock up a player such as 4-star linebacker Christopher Allen—who had taken an official visit to home state power LSU last weekend.
