re: 2023 Recruiting

What makes these schools so scary is that not only do they land elite talent, but they're very very good at evaluating that elite talent and ALL talent. Saban doesn't just look at 247.com and pick his recruits based off their rankings, that's why most of their elite recruits end up actually playing like elite recruits.

It also may explain why Gustav's classes were deceptively high in the composite rankings - he got the "elite" prospects that the other schools either didn't pursue with as much vigor or passed on altogether, because they were far better at evaluating talent. A lot of those guys ended up as non-contributors at AU.

Unfortunately it appears now that Harsin can't even get the overrated guys to consider us.
