Nike Saban was in desperate need of good news after a dismal 7-6 season punctuated by a late collapse. And he did. In his first full recruiting season at Alabama, Saban signed 32 players, including three rated as five-star prospects. A flurry of late signings helped boost the Crimson Tide's ranking, the most important being Julio Jones, the consensus top wide receiver in this class. Saban was able to fend off Florida and Florida State to keep the Foley High School star in state. Two other Alabama natives, LB Jerrell Harris and WR Marcel Dareus, also decided to stay home on signing day. Saban managed to keep in-house the best Alabama high school crops of recent vintage, including OT Tyler Love. Overall rank: No. 2.
