Should they grade K's the same as the other positions?

The problem is that kicking is so mental that it's really hard to predict how good they'll actually be. Even more so than other positions. I think that's why most sites just see a guy with good leg talent and just slap a 3* rating on them. That way they don't look bad either way.

The rest doesnt matter

Saban's successor may even keep it going purely on Alabama as a program

Hogs are as high as 24 and as low as 32, with a couple of 26's thrown in.

However, this is with only 12 commits. Obviously, who we get with the final 13 or so will tell the tale.

We are in on some good ones, including one 4 star we have a good chance of landing soon...

If we continue to show a little life, knock off a couple of SEC teams this year (there's a chance), make a bowl... I think we can ride the momentum and land somewhere between 15 and 20 nationally.

No SEC wins, no bowl... I think we still land in the 25-30 range nationally.

I'm not convinced that Bama will continue to pull the #1 class year after year as long as Saban is there. It just stands to reason that there comes an end to everything and I think it will certainly apply to Saban's recruiting prowess in the next couple of years and might even signal a beginning to the end when it happens.

You gotta give it to the guy in the meantime .... he's gone down as the greatest recruiter in the history of the game IMHO. It's not like it used to be where there were 250 players allowed on scholarship and the big programs selected rather than recruited. These days, to do what Saban has done, it's damn impressive.

That's true.

Off the top of my head, no idea who they would go after.

Owell, I doubt it's going to happen anyway. Not this year at least. UF is still going to be a pretty good football team this year.

Please tell me you arent in the majority that an 11-2 season barely missing a 3peat due to miracles is the start of Saban's low end of the peak. We lost to yall and LSU and AU barely in 2010 and we bounced back sorta well...

This is the only thing you can base anything off

He and Bryant, yes

Correct. So just curious, but do you realize you just essentially argued with yourself? You made more points in my favor rather than your original arguement... If you think Saban will fall off, then when will this be, what reason based on what we know now, based off of what has actually happened. Not what you may think will happen because of some odd detail you think will lead to Saban's take down.

6 right now. If Bruce manages to get Jacob Evans we will stay at 6 so I'm predicting a top 10-8 finish.
