The Crimson Tide have quietly worked their way into the top 10. An already impressive class is headlined by five-star-rated running back Trent Richardson and linebacker Nico Johnson. Michael Bowman and Kevin Norwood are big, talented receivers who should compliment Julio Jones well. Don't expect the Tide to stay at 10. Alabama made a late dash for the No. 1 recruiting class last year, and with a host of five-star talent still being recruited by the Tide, including cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, other teams are going to be hard-pressed to keep Alabama out of the top five.
