Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting! Alabama is going to take a hit in regards to players graduating out of the program including some hefty talents that helped this program reach the No. 1 seed in the first ever playoff scramble, especially on the offensive side. But great defense and a power run game is a Saban staple. Hand the ball to Henry and let the defense smother opponents, a formula that is in place to keep the rest of the SEC playing second fiddle. The bigger question will be whether Jacob Coker can take over and handle the quarterback duties and whether the Tide can find another receiver to be anywhere near the talent that Amari Cooper took with him to the NFL. Cooper leaving early means the new signal caller lost every full-time starter running routes including three top flight receivers and a tight end. Plenty of talent is just waiting in the Tuscaloosa wings while the nation's fourth rated scoring defense only gets better. Recruiting championships and football championships go hand-in-hand. But this season will certainly be a bigger work load for Coach Saban and his staff in regards to experience levels compared to the past five or so seasons.
