Alabama takes sixth straight recruiting title

I just wanted to say, nanner, nanner.

There is no arguing it.

Nick Saban is the nation's best recruiter - and the 2016 recruiting class is proof.

Thanks to a remarkable close on National Signing Day, Alabama has won its unprecedented sixth consecutive 247Sports recruiting national championship.

Saban is no longer recruiting. He's selecting.

Alabama closed with 10 commitments in the final two days of the recruiting cycle - with eight coming on national signing day. That close happened despite Alabama losing assistant coaches Kirby Smart and Mel Tucker two of the Tide's ace recruiters to Georgia.

With this incoming class, Alabama's roster is going to continue to look different than most of the country. There's the 6-foot-6.5, 325-pound defensive lineman Raekwon Davis. He'll line up next to 6-5, 375-pound nose guard Kendell Jones. Meanwhile 6-foot-5, 250-pound defensive end Terrell Hall is the most physically impressive edge guy in the nation.

Behind those guys, Alabama's class is powered by the No. 1 inside linebacker in the country in legacy commit Ben Davis, and the nation's No. 2 outside linebacker in Lyndell Wilson.

Alabama also put together its best effort in the state of Mississippi under Saban by landing three of the state's top eight, including amazingly athletic cornerback Nigel Knott.
