Hell the only full Saban class that wasn't the top class was 2010. And that class had a lot of "trickeration" threw at it. Basically when we went to Pasadena all the targets we were after had the full court anti Bama press put on them.

The anti Bama arguments I remember:

Alabama is too talented (how does that work exactly?)
Actually using a Bama depth chart as a recruiting tool.
Saban just won a title, he is about to retire/leave .
Alabama just won a title, BCS titles are so rare Bama just peaked.

The Allen fiasco was the most obvious and blatant example of the trickery. I still don't know how we 0-4 on elite RB's as well when he had a guy up front winning the Heisman.

Better yet, what made that class stand out as the anomaly? Was the 2010 class overall just more gullible?

Bout to include that class. Putting it side by side with the classes since then should give us some insight.

Yeldon was a 5 star with as good of a high school tape as there has been in the last decade. Richardson, fournette, seastrunk, Thomas, etc.

And he's the first bama back to rush for 2 1k seasons to start his career coincidentally.

You heard it here first. TJ Yeldon is your 2014 Heisman trophy winner.
