That may have been true in some cases, but not even close to all cases. During the Barfield era I'm sure you guys could've gotten whoever you wanted, but Dye beat Bryant for a lot of recruits in the 2 years they competed, and that was not the case during most of Jordan's years either.


That was due to the NCAA instituting the scholarship max size of 95 in 1977 (which is 85 nowadays). Without this help, the Bryant type dominance of Alabama would have continued through the 80's
