Andrew Bone - BamaInsider Recruiting Analyst 

1. What two prospects are on high flip watch at the moment?

Bone:

Alabama recently welcomed a pair of quarterbacks committed elsewhere to Tuscaloosa- Emory Jones (Ohio State) and Jarren Williams (Kentucky). Both of these players remain on the flip watch list for the Crimson Tide. A few recruits to really pay close attention to in the next few months: Emil Ekiyor, four-star offensive tackle from Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, and Jacob Copeland, four-star wide receiver from Escambia High School in Pensacola.

Ekiyor recently took an official visit to Alabama. The Michigan commitment is very high on the Tide. Copeland committed to Florida instead of Alabama during the summer. He has been in Tuscaloosa twice this fall and expect him to return.

2. It would shock you in October if this did not happen?

Bone:

Alabama did not add any commitments. The Crimson Tide has added a least one commitment each month since June despite the small numbers. Keep an eye on JuCo corner Saivion Smith or Rivals100 cornerback Nadab Joseph.

3. Where does Alabama football need improvement?

Bone:

Two biggest positions of need for Alabama in the 2018 class is defensive tackle and defensive back. Alabama has a great chance to finish strong. Alabama cannot afford to stumble with top targets at each position down the home stretch. Several top targets remain.

Chad Simmons Rivals SE Recruiting Analyst 

1. Who from Georgia is hearing the most from Alabama?

Simmons:

It is hard to say just one, but I can name three in the Rivals 100 that Alabama is going hard after in Georgia and that the Crimson Tide are legitimate players for. I will start with quarterback Emory Jones, an Ohio State commit who was just in Tuscaloosa (Ala.) a couple of weeks ago. Look for him to take an official visit as well. He feels he is the top quarterback target for Alabama at this time.

Moving over to the defensive side of the ball, linebacker JJ Peterson and rush end Adam Anderson are two to track. I would go as far to name Alabama as the favorite to land Peterson at this time with Auburn right there. On Anderson, he is likely to decide soon between the Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs. As usual, Alabama is very active in the state of Georgia.
