Seventeen of those 33 prospects eventually became a first-round pick in Tuscaloosa. That’s 51.5 percent for those playing at home. That number doesn’t factor in the six other Crimson Tide five-star draftees that went off the board in Round 2.

Let’s provide some perspective for that number.

Take away Alabama’s 33 five-star players from that 2008-17 window, and there are 226 eligible five-star recruits. Some schools had many (Florida State: 24) while more than a dozen had just one or two. Taken together, the number of first-round picks from that group is 48. That’s a 21.2-percent hit rate.
