Turning of the Tide | Part 1: The Arrival of Nick Saban

AL.com presents "Turning of the Tide", a three-part look back at the Alabama Crimson Tide's pivotal 2008 football season, and the role that particular team played in changing the face of Alabama football, and all of college football, as we know it today.

In Part 1 of the series, we take a look at the arrival of Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa and how the coach’s first full recruiting class in February of 2008 transformed the program almost overnight. Julio Jones, Mark Barron, Marcel Dareus, Barrett Jones - names that would become synonymous with Alabama’s early dominance under Nick Saban - all joined the roster on the same momentous day. How did it happen? We take a look inside how Alabama’s most important recruiting class in school history came together.
