Two experts say yes, two say no.

Luginbill brings the heat, though.

It's pretty easy to look at these days. 247 tracks where players are ranked over a timeline.


As an example - Kendall Sheffield committed to Alabama on 1/2/15. According to the graph at some point pretty soon after that he dropped from Top 15 to #20.

Either way, I don't exactly understand why we continue to have these discussions. Alabama puts more players in the NFL than anyone else since Saban's kids started graduating 5-6 years ago. They are the most talented program in the country. Is anyone still doubting this?

This topic was funny back in 2009, now it's just kind of stupid.

Guys who committed then dropped (composite)
- Sheffield dropped in the last update
- Barnett dropped in the last update
- D. Thompson dropped in the last update
- D. Flowers dropped in the last update
- R. Harrison dropped in the last update
- B. Kennedy dropped in the last update
- M. Fitzpatrick dropped in the last update
- L. Cotton dropped in the last update
- M. Brown dropped for 6 months straight
- Burgess-Becker dropped in the last update



So, this is all seems kinda dumb

This isn't a flame, but is this an accurate statement?

This was brought up in another thread not too long ago. At 5 years it's accurate. 6 not so much.

Top 2 Since 2010:

Bama - 37
LSU - 35

You must be furious at Saban's results, then. all that talent and 2 years of no title game. Maybe the NFL realized that.

No, because I'm a rational person and understand that there are narrow margins and that some years you don't have the best mesh of experience and talent, or maybe you don't have the best talent at certain positions.
