Good morning, Alabama fans! Welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive where we bring Tide fans the latest and greatest involving the Crimson Tide.
Today’s edition will be somewhat different. We generally pick two to three stories to briefly cover each weekday morning, but today we are going to throw a curveball.
As summer quickly approaches, recruiting for the class of 2023 continues to intensify. With that being said, today we are going to look at five players from the class of 2023 that I believe are high on Nick Saban’s wish list.
For obvious reasons, Saban does not disclose his actual wish list, so this is just my best shot at an educated guess.
Enjoy!
