Top Ten Impact Freshmen for 2010

#7 Demarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama Crimson Tide

Milliner was a two-way star in high school and could play either side at the next level. Milliner is aggressive at the line of scrimmage and will give SEC receivers a run for their money. He can read and jump routes very well. Bama has to replace their two starting corners, and Milliner should be in the mix to earn a spot.

Saban and his Staff are Relentless Recruiters

Friday night, Alabama received its 16th commitment for the 2010 season.

Saban and his staff are relentless recruiters. Entering their third year at Alabama, they have forged relationships. Instead of being the 'new' staff on the block, they are familiar faces. That helps complement an unsung aspect of their success — their ability to recognize and target talent among high school freshmen and sophomores.)

There is, perhaps, one mystery left to solve. With just 12 slots left under the newly mandated SEC limit on total signatures, how will Alabama fit everyone who wants to climb aboard into a spot?
