Nick Saban and his staff are keeping busy with the offseason here. Alabama hosted a junior day this weekend with prospects from all over the country. Many players attending already held offers, while other prospects received offers while attending.
An important step in recruiting is having a coach staff in place, which Alabama made official its hires to help the prospects get an idea of who will be recruiting them.
Here is the latest on Alabama’s recruiting prospects. All star ratings and rankings come from the 247Sports composite:
- Though he does not have an offer from Alabama yet, Faatui Tuitele announced on Twitter last Sunday that he was going to make an unofficial visit to Alabama in the spring. Tuitele, a five-star defensive tackle in the 2019 class, is from the same high school in Hawaii as Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Tuitele and Tagovailoa are distant cousins. Alabama is expected to extend an offer to Tuitele after he gets on campus.
So far, I will be taking my unofficial visits this spring to:
