TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama head coach Nick Saban met with reporters on Wednesday evening ahead of the Crimson Tide’s CFP matchup with No. 1 Michigan.
“Challenging day, nonetheless. I know because it’s Early Signing Day, people want to talk about signings and we just got off the practice field.
So prepping for practice, prepping for a game, trying to finish this part of recruiting at least [and] there’s still some other guys out there we’re obviously interested in that may be signing in the next few days, or some guys that will wait until February — but we’re really pleased with the class. Got a lot of good players, got a lot of mid-year guys which I think is really important or helpful in their development.”
“This is a product of a lot of hard work by a lot of people. I think our coaching staff did a really good job.
The people who support us in the university community do a great job, whether it’s the academic university community, or folks that work in academics — all the people that work in athletic administration.
All these people work really, really hard on helping us put together a really, really good class so I’m excited about these players. I’m not going to go through them individually or anything but some of them are here.
I think we’ve got several guys that are already practicing, we got a few more guys that may join us later.
I think there’s a total of maybe 19 mid-year guys or something like that so that’s probably a really good thing.”
