Alabama = 7 recruits
Georgia = 3
Florida = 2
Louisiana = 2
Texas = 2
Virginia = 2
Arkansas = 1
California = 1
New Jersey = 1
New York = 1
Pennsylvania = 1
Tennessee = 1

In-State Signees = 28.0%
Out-Of-State Signees = 72.0%
Observation:
Alabama’s target zone? Uh, the North American continent? Look at that spread — 25 players from 13 different states. Nick Saban has turned the UA program into “America’s Team,” if not by popularity then by sheer geography. Bama grabbed the #1 player from the Yellowhammer State, the #1 player from Arkansas, the #1 player from Utah, the #2 player from Texas, the #2 player from Virginia, the #3 player from Pennsylvania, and the #4 player from Louisiana. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, it doesn’t appear that the Crimson Tide will be falling out of the national title picture anytime soon.
