This is not exactly true. I was a student at Bama for Coach Bryant’s last two years. There were limits of a total of 95 scholarships per year for a team. So, while back in the 1950s and 1960s, Coach Bryant did stockpile players, by 1981 and 1982, he couldn’t do that anymore.
In those years, Coach Bryant (1981 and 1982 seasons) would play the second team offense (all eleven guys) at seemingly random times. I got the sense it was about every third series the second team trotted out there. I could be wrong but that was my recollection.
Sometimes, CPB would substitute the entire second team backfield and pair them up with the first team O line. All I know is, he played a crap load of QBs/RBs/FBs. I seem to recall looking at 1982 Cotton Bowl game program, Bama had something like 15 players with at least 200 yards rushing for the season (?!?!?!).

You're missing the point You can't compare Bain to Wilson. Bain is different. He's a dog.

They also turned a WVU transfer, Akheem Mesidor, into a top 60 pick at worst across from Bain.

Defense and O line nearly dragged shite arse Carson Beck to a championship.

Ricky Tucker was a good high school quarterback that was being recruited also.

Mesidor will be a 1st Rounder more than likely.

Portal class is top 15. We can live with that. Top 15 portal classes to go with top 5 HS classes and we can still compete at the top.
