It's pretty obvious that these kids are picking Alabama because they want to be champions.

He could be good, but he wasn't impressive Saturday in the Army game.
Well he was trying to run against future Sooners all day. Cut the kid some slack.

Najee Harris
The nation’s No. 1 ranked prospect did not have quite the impact in the game as was expected, carrying eight times for just 22 yards, but as noted that can happen due to the nature of these all-star games. This is a look at the entire week, though, and Harris was certainly among the 12 most impressive players during the week in San Antonio. His footwork for a player that size is so impressive, and then he certainly has the ability to lower a shoulder and pick up the tough yards.

They know they will get to the NFL where ever they go? You obviously don't know college football

That's kinda ridiculous
Bo might be in the conversation and Najee has a very slim chance. Guice is the number 1 back in the SEC.

Not that I care what any of you guys think about the kid but he was banged up. Has to have a procedure done on his knee this off-season. Anyone that paid attention to recruiting this year knows that Najee Harris was easily one of the top 2 backs in the country. Lots of folks thought he was the overall #1 player as well.

LSUs backup has 2x as many yards as Bo
Bo has more in one carry vs. UW than your starter had in 3 years against Bama.

quote:Let's look at this (just out of curiosity). I am using the 247 rating system.
I'm sure if you compare the ratio of 5*s that make it to the NFL are as high or higher at alot of other schools as Bama.
2008:
Julio Jones (drafted #6 overall)
Tyler Love (never really played)
BJ Scott (transferred)
2009:
Trent Richardson (drafted #3 overall)
Dre Kirkpatrick (drafted #17 overall)
Nico Johnson (drafted #99 overall)
DJ Fluker (drafted #11 overall)
2010:
Dee Milliner (drafted #9 overall)
Phillip Sims (transferred after getting beat out by AJ)
2011:
Cyrus Kouandjio (drafted #44 overall)
HaHa Clinton-Dix (drafted #21 overall)
Trey Depriest (not drafted)
2012:
Landon Collins (drafted #33 overall)
TJ Yeldon (drafted #36 overall)
Eddie Williams (kicked off the team after getting arrested)
2013:
Reuben Foster (will be drafted this year)
Derrick Henry (drafted #45 overall)
Jonathan Allen (will be drafted this year)
OJ Howard (will be drafted this year)
Robert Foster (has had some injuries. I think he can return next year)
A'shawn Robinson (drafted #46 overall)
2014:
Cam Robinson (will be drafted this year)
Da'shawn Hand (good chance of getting drafted next year)
Tony Brown (has potential if he can stay out of trouble)
Marlon Humphrey (will be drafted whenever he decides to go)
Rashaan Evans (could be drafted when he goes)
2015:
Calvin Ridley (will be drafted)
Kendall Sheffield (transferred)
Blake Barnett (transferred)
Da'Ron Payne (will be drafted)
Minkah Fitzpatrick (will be drafted)
Damien Harris (will be drafted)
Just using 2008-2013, that's 21 5* recruits. At least 15 of those 21 will have been drafted. That's an average of at least 71%. Between 2002 and 2010 using Rivals ratings, 44.3% of all 5*s were drafted. If we assume that average continued on through the 2013 class, Alabama under Saban is doing well over the average. Also the percentage to go first round is also higher at Alabama than the national average.

ETA: Someone save this post, because I'm not going to do the research again.

I hope Najee is good for Bama, but not too good that he decides to skip bowl games.
