Since 2006 there have been 5, 4, 3, 8, 4, 5, 5, 5 4, and 5 whites at Alabama. Saban's plantation projects to start 6 whites in 2017. The Crimson Tide will be slightly more tolerable to watch, maybe even worth supporting if they had a white QB. Nick Saban is usually pretty good at keeping whites only at the approved positions QB,OL,TE, and token defender usually a LB'er.
Saban won't even be playing whites at QB this season, opting to start "black quarterback" Jalen Hurts. The QB situation may look bleak for some time too, with a Poly back-up. 3rd string QB(Fr) Mac Jones has a bright future however, and hopefully he can make his mark down the road! Offensive-Line is a bright spot for the Tide this year, managing 4/5 whites and good depth! Their O-line is stacked with white talent, and they possibly could play a 5/5 "Snow-Plow" O-Line in certin match ups! LG-Ross Pierschbacher, C-Bradley Bozeman, and RG-J.C. Hassenauer are all projected to be taken early in the 2018 draft!
The Crimson Tide have some nice Tight Ends, with 3 whites on the depth chart! Starting TE Miller Forristall 6'5 238 has the skill set of a modern "move" TE, he's got great athleticism and hands but not much of a blocker. Hale Hentges is more of a traditional in-line TE, and he will likely spli snaps with Forristall.
Defensively it's about what you would expect from an SEC team, only 1 white starter. (Jr) Keith Holcombe will be that lone starter at MLB, and he's worked his ass off for it too! Holcombe's a big 6'4 236 athletic inside LB, that probably could've been a Safety. There's hardly any defensive depth, with Safety Keaton Anderson the only other scholarship athlete on defense. Anderson a sophomore has been mostly used a WSTD thus far, but he has the potential to be a starter!
Ones to look out for in 2017: QB(Fr) Mack Jones, OT(Fr) Scott Lashley, OG(Sr) J.C. Hassenaur, OT(Jr) Elliot Baker, TE(So) Miller Forristall 6'5 238 lbs, TE(Fr) Major Tennison, DB(So) Keaton Anderson, WR(Jr) Mac Hereford ( Only white WR on roster)
