We all know Nick Saban can recruit.

Alabama’s record on the national stage speaks for itself. The most dominant program within the past decade, top-notch recruits from all across the country come in droves to Tuscaloosa — in order to develop as football players, win at a very high level, and get a quality education.

When actually sitting down and analyzing how good Alabama’s current depth chart is, it’s downright scary.

The Belly of the Beast put together a full look at Alabama’s week one depth chart. However, it excluded the names and instead put the player’s star ranking coming from high school (courtesy of the 247sports composite rankings).

Offense:

QB: 4-star or 5-star or 4-star

RB: 5-star or 5-star, 5-star

WR (Z): 4-star, 4-star

WR (H): 5-star, 3-star or 4-star

WR (X): 5-star or 5-star, 3-star

TE: 4-star, 4-star

TE: 5-star, 4-star or 3-star

RT: 5-star, 4-star

RG: 4-star, 4-star

C: 3-star, 4-star

LG: 4-star, 4-star

LT: 5-star, 3-star

Defense:

DE: 5-star, 5-star

NT: 5-star, 4-star

DE: 4-star, 3-star

OLB: 4-star, 4-star or 4-star

OLB: 4-star, 4-star or N/A (walk-on)

MLB: 5-star, 5-star

MLB: 4-star, 4-star

STAR: 5-star, 4-star

CB: 5-star, 4-star

CB: 5-star, 4-star

SS: 3-star, 4-star

FS: 4-star, 4-star

P: 3-star

Within Alabama’s two-deep alone, the Crimson Tide feature 18 former five-star prospects, and 28 former four-star prospects.

Suffice it to say, but Alabama is completely loaded heading into the 2016 season. As many have opined, ‘it’s not about the X’s and O’s, but rather the Jimmy’s and Joe’s.’

Saban is undoubtedly operating under this axiom quite well.
