Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide poised to be big winners at All-American Bowl

The All-American Bowl kicks off Saturday and should provide plenty of fireworks for Alabama fans

The All-American Bowl is set to kick off at 1 p.m. (ET) on NBC and Peacock and will feature nearly double-digit commitments during the broadcast.

And the Alabama Crimson Tide could be the big winners, tying a bow on what is already a top-2 recruiting class nationally

Both Meridian (Mississippi) four-star running back Daniel Hill and Mainland (Florida) four-star cornerback Zay Mincey are high on Alabama and are making their decisions during the contest.

Hill is rated the nation's No. 6 ball-carrier, while Mincey is rated the nation's No. 3 cornerback.

Prediction: Hill and Mincey to Alabama

For some time. "Hill to Alabama" has felt like a near-certainly.

Yes, South Carolina and others have been lurking - and surprises are always possible - but Hill has been strongly tied to the Tide since the summer.

Mincey is another story.

What once seemed like a battle almost exclusively of top in-state contenders has extended since the early signing period and Alabama has made a massive push.

The Tide were always lurking - Mincey took an official visit to Tuscaloosa in October - but only recently have both 247Sports and On3 considered Nick Saban's program the clear-cut team to beat.

Expect a banner day for the Crimson Tide during the All-American Bowl, complete with two of the nation's top unsigned prospects.
