Have we always, as a collective, been this obsessed about true freshman playing and contributing? I feel like this is relatively new. I guess the 2017 class just kind of reset expectations for some people?

I think ever since Saban started recruiting at a high level people have been obsessed with it. Kind of like everyone loving the backup QB. People see stars and they automatically assume the guy is going to be a stud. Many times they are, but rarely are they studs right away. When occasionally that happens, maybe the expectation rises.
