That #10 talent composite ranking is super misleading because almost all the elite talent were freshmen.

I mean…it is what it is. Some of our best playmakers from that season were from the 2007 and 2008 recruiting classes (both of which finished #10 and #1 in the Rival recruiting rankings). Rolando McClain, Kareem Jackson, Dont’a Hightower, Terrence Cody (junior college), Mark Ingram II, Julio Jones, and Marquis Maze - all major contributors to that 2008 team - were recruited to Alabama in those two classes.
