Devonta Lee
Devonta Lee is listed as an athlete and that is what he truly is. His recruitment looks as if it will come down to Alabama and LSU. The interesting thing about him is the Tide want him to play defensive back and LSU likes him at wide receiver. He has expressed that he doesn’t mind where he plays at the next level. Saban and company could get this guy due to Saban’s willingness to try players all over the field.

Darnell Wright
Wright is the top offensive tackle in this class and is listed as a 5-Star recruit. He along with Webb could help the Tide pull in the best offensive lineman class Saban has ever pull in according to recruiting rankings. Alabama’s coaching staff has recruited this guy heavily and have shown him they want him in Tuscaloosa. He even rode in the car with Saban on A-Day.

Keon Zipperer
Zipperer is the No. 3 ranked tight end in the nation. He already possesses great size and athleticism to play tight end at the next level. Florida and Miami had looked like they were the leaders for the Florida-native, but according to a recent tweet by Zipper, he will leave the state of Florida to go to college.

Christian Harris
Harris’ recruitment is looking like is going to be one of those classical LSU Vs. Bama scenarios. We have all seen this play out before with several different recruits. The only safe thing to say about Harris is that he will most likely choose Alabama or LSU. The latest announcement he made was a top ten, which included Alabama and LSU. It is expected that he will take a ton of visits this summer and should at least have his list cut down some more by the fall.

Mycah Pittman
Pittman is the top wideout in the state of California. He has Alabama in his top 5 along with Nebraska, Florida, Ohio State and Oregon. Pittman could fit right in with Alabama’s loaded wide receiver group. He has a ton of speed and is most definitely a deep threat. He is also something special with the ball in his hands. His quickness makes it very difficult for guys to tackle him in the open field. He expressed that he and Gattis are on good terms.

Trey Sanders
Sanders has had an interesting recruitment thus far. He was once committed to Alabama, but decided to de-commit to open up his options. He did say Alabama would remain as one of his top schools. Many teams have made up ground since Sander’s de-commitment, especially Florida. They have become a huge player in the battle for the top running back in the nation. Sanders has the whole package. He is explosive and very elusive. He can make juke moves on the dime, which enables him to take advantage of his great vision. The fact that he goes to IMG Academy will only help his game developed more as he gets the chance to travel around the nation and battle it out against the best. The Tide has gotten a commitment from him once. It’ll be interesting to see if they could do it again.

Quavaris Crouch
Crouch is the top athlete in this class. The Tide does have the advantage of the fact that they offered Crouch over a year ago and have been able to build a connection with him. Crouch is a bit of a taller back at 6-feet-2-inches, but knows how to use his height to stride and makeup ground quickly. There is no secret that this kid is one of the most highly recruited backs in this class. He has not released a top school list yet, but have been visiting many different places. Alabama’s wide receiver coach, Josh Gattis, took a visit to see him on April, 28. This could be a huge get for the Tide if they can land Crouch.

Marcus Banks
Banks is heavily considering Alabama and is expected to make his commitment in late June or early July. when I spoke to him, he told me that Alabama pretty much speaks for itself. He will take an official visit on June 15-17. It is safe to say that the Tide are in a great position to get a commitment from him this Summer.

Noa Pola-Gates
Gates is a 4-Star defensive back out of Arizona. The Tide are in an excellent position to land him. He told me that Alabama is most definitely in his top three.

Kamaar Bell
Bell is a 3-Star offensive lineman that has seen a huge boost in his recruitment since Alabama first offered him. He now holds more than eight offers from some of the top programs. He told me that the Tide are still his leader at this point.

Daxton Hill
Alabama is in a good position to land Hill as of now, but they are going to have to battle it out with some top notch teams to pull him in. He released a top 5 late last month, which included the Tide, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Michigan, Clemson and Ohio State. Hill has not provided a favorite, but it is believed that he will make a decision this Summer. He does plan on taking a visit to each school before making his decision, which gives Alabama a chance to lay out the red carpet. Something to pay attention to though is his brother, Justice Hill, is actually a running back for Oklahoma State. This one is going to basically come down to whatever program makes Hill feel the most at home.

Jacoby Pinckney
Pinckney is making his visit this weekend and the Tide hope they can make some ground up with him. The South Carolina-native is a very aggressive wideout. He doesn’t mind fighting and jerking for position. His 6-feet-2-inches and 205-pound frame give him an advantage over most defensive backs.

Nick Cross
Cross is a 4-Star safety out of Maryland. Cross is set to visit Tuscaloosa next weekend. The Crimson Tide will look to make up some ground with him and get him closer to making Alabama his choice.

Demarco Hellams
Hellams is also a 4-Star defensive back out of Maryland. He will be in Tuscaloosa next weekend as well. It will be interesting to see how this visit affects his recruitment.

Ethan Rae
4-Star TE, Ethan Rae, released a top 10 on last week and included the Tide. He told me that the Tide are looking for two tight ends in the 2019 recruiting class and everything is good between him and the Tide.

Garmon Randolph
Randolph is the latest tight end to receive an offer from Alabama. He should be setting up a visit to Tuscaloosa soon and only time will tell whether the Tide will become a huge player in his recruitment.

Elite 11 Finals 2018: Taulia Tagovailoa, Paul Tyson Show Out at Friday Practice
quote:
The top quarterbacks in the class of 2019 hit the turf in Redondo Beach, California, on Friday for the first day of Elite 11 competition.
This year's group is comprised of 24 of the nation's top signal-callers, including six highly-touted gunslingers who remain uncommitted with their senior seasons on the horizon. As always, the festivities will include on-field work, classroom sessions and off-field development periods.
At the end of the weekend, the Elite 11 coaches—led by Trent Dilfer—will handpick the 11 quarterbacks who will compete at The Opening Finals in Frisco, Texas.
Here's a look at a few of the day's top performers.

Taulia Tagovailoa
By this point, you're familiar with Alabama quarterback and national title game hero Tua Tagovailoa.
Now, it's time to get acquainted with his younger brother Taulia Tagovailoa.
An Alabama commit and the eighth-ranked pro-style quarterback in the class of 2019, Taulia showed why he could serve as his brother's successor in Tuscaloosa. Not only did the rising senior flash impressive arm strength out beyond the far hash, but his refined release stood out despite standing 5'11''.
The positive reviews didn't stop there:
Bruce Feldman

@BruceFeldmanCFB
Tua’s little brother Taulia Tagovailoa also has a very impressive arm.

@SBNRecruiting
Sam Howell and Taluia Tagovailoa have made some nice throws. Short QBs have looked good.
Taulia's time in the spotlight is still years away, though, and to get there, he's going to have to beat out some stiff competition.

Paul Tyson
Speaking of that competition, fellow Alabama commit Paul Tyson, the great-grandson of legendary Tide head coach Bear Bryant, was on hand beside his future teammate.
At 6'4.5'', the nation's 12th-ranked pro-style passer made some effortless throws on a variety of patterns:
Tyson's not nearly as mobile as Tagovailoa and isn't going to make defenses adjust their game plans to account for his legs, but it's clear when he drops back in the pocket that he has the chops required to stretch the field and fit the ball into tight windows.
