Where will Julio Jones go? Super Wednesday in College Football

For a change of pace: Today is National Signing Day in college football. From ESPN:

As usual, the elite, early impact caliber skill players carry the most weight and interest heading into national signing day. Two No. 1-rated prospects at their respective positions, quarterback Terrelle Pryor (Jeannette, Pa.) and receiver Julio Jones (Foley, Ala.), head the list of most-coveted prospects set to make announcements Wednesday.

[...]

Jones has kept his recruitment close to the vest since day one; Alabama, Oklahoma, Florida, Florida State and Texas Tech are his final five. It may be difficult to snag this quiet and reserved superstar out of state, but if anyone could do it, Oklahoma and its national prominence could have the power.

Alabama's recruiting class is currently ranked number two in the country by Rivals.com, Florida is ranked number one. Julio is not the only uncommitted prospect considering Alabama:

At outside linebacker, Jerrell Harris (Gadsden, Ala.) may be the next most-sought-after defensive player left on the board. The ESPN 150 prospect appears to have Alabama and USC at the top of his list.

Should Bama manage to get these two to sign on the dotted line, we could capture the top spot in recruiting. If not it will still be an exceptional recruiting year and boy do we need it.

Yesterday was Super Tuesday. For college football fanatics, we'll call today Super Wednesday.
