It was another successful early national signing day for Alabama as it pulled in 22 commitments on the first day of the three-day early signing window as the Crimson Tide were once again regarded as having one of the top classes in the country.
Following the first day, the Alabama coaching staff shared their thoughts and reactions to the performance of the team.
“We were able to satisfy a lot of needs in this class,” head coach Nick Saban said on Wednesday. “Speed on offense. We’re always excited to get a quality quarterback, and Ty Simpson is certainly someone that we recruited a long time, know a lot about, is made of the right stuff and certainly has a lot of talent and ability. We’re got a lot of speed at the skill positions on offense — running back and wide receiver. We’re got a couple really good offensive line prospects, some good tight end prospects. A lot of solid players on defense.
“A couple up front, a couple linebackers, a couple rushers, some people in the secondary. Overall, I think we’re never totally satisfied with who we’re able to attract, but we’re very, very pleased with the guys that we were able to attract in this class to this point.”
Below are a few coaches reactions on social media:
