I really don't understand how recruits can buy that whole "playing time" argument. TJ Yeldon and Ameri Cooper were true freshmen that stepped in and played right away at Alabama.

Lot more competition next year at rb than last year. Throw in the two rbs there plus the 4 signees and Bo already committed, it's a little different than what Yeldon was walking in to.

Your depth at RB was a lot different too, and you needed help at WR as that was a weakness and no upper classmen better than Cooper. You just picked up 4 top running backs so don't think that depth won't be an issue for a recruit. Are there good arguments to suggest it is worth it to wait going to Bama? You bet, but to say you don't understand is saying you don't understand football, or recruiting. I am betting you do and maybe didn't think your post through before submitting.

Really? You don't understand why a guy would hestitate to go play for a team with like 7 high 4-5 star players at a position where one, maybe two, can be on the field at a time?
