re: (serious) why is Slade starting?

The recruitment of Slade Bolden is a head scratcher. His biggest offer other UA was Arizona State. I think he's a decent enough athlete but he's playing on too big of a stage for his level of athleticism. Nothing against Slade but who was the coach that convinced Saban to offer him? It's like the "anti Lance Thompson convince Burton Burns Derrick Henry would be a great back at Bama".
You look at the recruiting profile and he's not the typical WR prospect UA would normally go after. What did they see?
