After dominating the NCAA's new recruiting battleground during December's Early Signing Period, the Alabama Crimson Tide were on pace to emerge with the nation's top recruiting class in college football for 2019. Georgia, Florida, LSU or Tennessee couldn't keep pace in the SEC, defending champion Clemson fell way short, and this batch of recruits joining Nick Saban's team is already considered one of the best classes in college football history.
