Teams with the most commits at The Opening Finals
quote:
The Opening Finals will kick off this weekend in a new location — Frisco, Texas — but that doesn’t change the fact this is the biggest recruiting event of the summer.
Over 100 of the nation’s top prospects will flock to Texas for a multi-day camp/competition that will pit the best versus the best in the 2019 recruiting class. The Opening is a proving ground for top talent, and it’s an opportunity for players to rise rapidly in the 247Sports rankings.
What else is the event? A prime recruiting ground.
No, coaches aren’t allowed on hand. But recruits from around the country will be spending time together and building friendships. Those bonds often translate by the time National Signing Day rolls around. Ask most coaches and they’d tell you the best recruiters are the commits themselves.
With that in mind, which programs have the most commits at the Opening? We’ll break that down below. Will these schools be on top come NSD? Maybe. But fact is they’re ahead of the curve in June, which is more important than ever with the accelerated recruiting calendar that comes with the Early Signing Period.
Note that this is a list of commits, not targets. So while a program might have a sizeable lead for a recruit or even a silent commitment, they will not be included on this list.

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE (6)
Commits: Pierce Quick, Christian Williams, Shane Lee, Kevin Harris, DeMarcco Hellams, Taulia Tagovailoa
Class Ranking: No. 1
No surprise here, Alabama’s top-ranked class is well-represented at the Opening. The most notable name is likely Tagovailoa, the brother of current Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The younger Tagovailoa, an Elite 11 finalist, ranks as the nation’s No. 149 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite.
The rest of Alabama’s player reps are either defenders or lineman. Five-star tackle Pierce Quick will be in attendance, as will five other Crimson Tide commits that rank among the nation’s top 101 prospects. Pay special attention to Harris. The linebacker/defensive end hybrid is on five-star watch according to 247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons.
All of the Tide's representatives will compete on Team Hype. Included on that roster is one of Alabama's top targets, Trey Sanders, who is a former Tide commit. But most of the program's other top targets will be on other teams. Expect these six to talk with players like Nakobe Dean, Clay Webb and Ishmael Sopsher.
