Of the remaining 15 players in the 2017 class, all were rated 4-Star, with the lone exception being, Long Snapper, Thomas Fletcher. Long Snappers are rated differently than other players. Fletcher was picked by one recruiting group as the #1 Long Snapper in the nation.

Some metrics wizards have already defined that the 2107 class is Nick Saban’s best ever.

With the exception of Aubrey Solomon, Alabama selected and signed almost very player it wanted.

When a 4-Star, high school All-American has to settle for a grayshirt (JarezParks); well, let’s just say “you got quite a class.”

All of the twenty-six 2017 signees are profiled in individual posts on this site. Take your time, but check them out. You will enjoy learning more about them. Also, there is an individual post on grayshirt, Jarez Parks.

Alabama fans welcome these young men to the Crimson Tide.
