Alabama recruiting continued to stay busy in the last week. Here are the latest updates Alabama’s recruiting targets. All star ratings and rankings come from the 247Sports composite:
-Four-star running back Dameon Pierce has decided to decommit from Alabama. Pierce, who ranks as the No. 5 running back in this year’s class, had been committed to the Crimson Tide since July 1, 2016. With that decommitment, the Crimson Tide now only has two commits for the 2018 class. Pierce is from Bainbridge, Ga. and stands at 5-foot-11, 205 pounds. He also has offers from Auburn, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
Pierce would have arrived on campus with Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough set to enter their senior years, with players like Josh Jacobs, B.J. Emmons, Najee Harris and Brian Robinson also on the roster.

-Five-star wide receiver Justyn Ross has been recruited heavily by Alabama for a while now. Being the No. 1 player in Alabama, the Crimson Tide have gone after him time and time again. Recently, Ross, along with his mother and grandmother got the chance to Skype with head coach Nick Saban, according to Tony Tsoukalas of Rivals.com
Ross’ mother, Charay Franklin, recapped the call and said, “It was pretty cool to talk to someone as famous as he is and someone everybody idolizes and loves. He talked about more of the academics, all the support staff with academics who help out and all the steps they go through to make sure he’s doing what he’s supposed to do while he’s in class and in school.”
-Four-star receiver Jaylen Waddle recently posted his top 12 schools on Twitter, and Alabama made the cut. Waddle is a 5-foot-9, 175-pound wide receiver from Bellaire, Texas.
