TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Calvin Ridley doesnt want to brag on Alabamas receiving corps too much.Sure, its a group full of talented, mostly experienced playmakers -- especially counting tight end O.J. Howard -- on an offense where the quarterbacks are still duking it out for the starting job and theres no established tailback.The biggest star of the group nevertheless mixes confidence with a dollop of humble brag.As a group of receivers, were really good, Ridley said. I dont want to boost our ego up but weve got some good guys on this team who can make a lot of plays.Maybe Cooper Bateman, Blake Barnett or freshman Jalen Hurts will seamlessly grab the quarterback job. Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris certainly have the pedigree to become the Crimson Tides latest accomplished backfield duo.All thats still getting sorted out, but offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin certainly has the widest array of experienced receiving options of his `Bama tenure.It starts with Ridley, who had one of the most prolific seasons by a freshman receiver in major college football. His 89 catches and 1,045 yards topped Julio Jones and Amari Cooper to set Alabama freshman marks. He had the second-most catches for a freshman in major college football history and set a Southeastern Conference record.Ridley didnt even start until Robert Foster went down with a season-ending shoulder injury in the third game, and now a healthy Foster returns.I think he would have had a great season if he hadnt gotten hurt, Kiffin said. Very special skill set as far as speed and ability to get on top of the coverage downfield and if hes healthy I think hell really have another one, too. Hell play well and help the guys around him.Then theres deep threat ArDarius Stewart, who had 700 receiving yards last season.Howard wasnt targeted frequently during the regular season but was the offensive MVP of the national championship game. His 208 yards against Clemson was the most by an Alabama player in a bowl game and a national title game record.Richard Mullaney is the only significant receiver gone from last season, and he was replaced by another graduate transfer. Gehrig Dieter joins the Tide after earning second-team All-MAC honors last season with Bowling Green (Kentucky) with 94 catches for 1,038 yards.Dieter spoke to Mullaney before transferring to Alabama and is hoping to leave with the same prize: A national title.We have probably some of the best receivers in the country -- Calvin, ArDarius, Cam (Sims), Rob, Dieter said. Our depth is just crazy to me, to come in here and see what kind of talent these guys have and how hard they work every single day and how committed they are to the process has been a joy to see.Alabama still has a deep group even after sophomore Daylon Charlot transferred to Kansas over the summer and Chris Black moved on to Missouri. Freshmen Trevon Diggs and T.J. Simmons join the mix, along with Dieter.Its one of the best receiving corps weve ever had if not the best, Tide safety Eddie Jackson said. Hands down.Those guys come in and they challenge us every day. We challenge them back. They love competition. They dont shy away from it.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.orgFake Nike Shoes From China . General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. Cheap Nike Shoes . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. https://www.fakenikeshoeswholesale.com/ . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. Black Friday Nike Shoes .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Wholesale Nike Shoes . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat.Sydney FC have ramped up their hunt for a second marquee player, analysing more than 150 strikers in the hope one can lift the club back to the A-Leagues heights.The Sky Blues have undergone radical surgery since finishing out of finals contention last season.Twelve players have left to make way for new blood which coach Graham Arnold believes will bolster his defence, strengthen his midfield and give his attack the spark its lacked since the 2014-15 grand-final run.But Arnold is still searching for that special player who can do what no man has since Austrian striker Marc Janko delivered 16 goals two seasons ago.Marquee will be a No.9 for sure, Arnold said.I made it clear to the players at the end of last season. Its just a matter of finding him, which will take time.Whether its a big name or not, thats another thing.But most importantly its a player who will come here and perform, and hopefully score 15 goals plus.Sydney have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of resumes flooding in.The challenge now lies in the laborious process of sifting through the global haystack in the hope of stumbling across the next Bruno Fornaroli.Weve got a long list, Arnold said.Yesterday when we counnted we had 158 put forward, so weve analysed and looked at 158 of them.ddddddddddddThey include former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner, ex-West Ham forward Carlton Cole and former German international Kevin Kuranyi, though its unlikely the club will seriously consider them.Another marquee - to join winger Filip Holosko - is one of two significant signings the club is still to make, with Arnold revealing the second will be an attacker.Off-contract captain and last seasons Australian marquee Alex Brosque is also expected to sign a new deal under the salary cap.Sydney have already added off-season quality to the squad in former Melbourne City defenders Alex Wilkinson and Michael Zullo, ex-Melbourne Victory goalkeeper Danny Vukovic and fringe Socceroos midfielder Josh Brillante.A more familiar face is winger Bernie Ibini, whos back on a season-long loan from Belgian Pro League champions Club Brugge.Im very happy with where were at recruitment-wise, Arnold said.I want two quality players for every position so the players can push themselves to another level.
