Alabama has a large group of visitors in town this weekend, primarily from the standpoint of "star power". Here are a few names to keep an eye on coming out of the weekend -
Bussey has spoken about Alabama being a contender in his recruitment. Getting Bussey to make the trip says a great deal about where Alabama truly stands.
Poe has made his long-awaited return to Alabama. The coaches visited Poe in Lindale, Texas, but Poe always said he was sure to return when the timing was right. Poe has close connections to the program. He's certainly a name to watch on the trail as things progress.
There is serious interest here on both ends.
Johnson-Rubell has a strong relationship with Coach Jones. Jones coached Rubell while at IMG, so there is a strong connection. This weekend presents a great opportunity to put themselves in a strong position, with Texas seeming to have a fair amount of momentum.
Harris is a lengthy yet explosive prospect who's only scratching the surface of his potential. He's yet to receive an offer from Alabama, but that could change very soon.
Crader is currently committed to Oregon but has been in communication with the staff. Is this visit enough to flip him is tough to say, but he could walk away with an offer.
Frazier has yet to visit Alabama, with this being his first visit. Keep an eye on the dynamic California running back. He already has an offer, and this visit could be just what he needed.
Jefferson just included Alabama in his Top 12, but with that list set to be reduced, Jefferson wanted to get on campus to confirm his standing with the staff.
Fresh off his commitment, Short should bring good energy and create an environment to have other guys comfortable about Alabama.
