Will the talent be as good in 2010 as 2008 and 2009? Probably not, but there will be talent in the state for recruiters, and the first predictor of what 2010 holds in store is the Rivals Top 100 players (March 11, 2009 edition). Rivals.com’s list includes two players from Alabama: #30. DeMarcus Milliner, cornerback, Millbrook, Alabama’s Stanhope Elmore, and #53. Jarrick Williams, safety, Prichard, Alabama’s Blount.
Rivals has both players listed as four-star recruits. With about 11 months until the final list, there will be changes—players grow and have amazing or disappointing seniors seasons.
