seven 5 stars in the past three years - All bama commits (Julio, Scott, Love, Nico, Fluker, Dre, Milliner)

Previous 7 years only had 2 (Andre Smith & Chad Jackson)

How can you explain this recent influx of top tier talent? Is this Rivals bias or just random. I agree with Julio being a 5 star. The others are all questionable. They should all be 4*s if you ask me.

Rivals finally started ranking Alabama players accurately.

It's random. Sometimes we have a lot of talent in this state and sometimes we don't. La., Fl., and Ga. are probably the three best states for consistently producing talent in the SEC.

I can pretty much guarantee everyone here that if any of those guys had wanted to waste their talent, and their futures at Auburn, CPA wouldn't be posting this shite. frick off. Really.

I think Julio, Dre and Nico and probably Fluker would have all been 5 stars no matter where they went. Love was rated pretty highly the whole time from what I remember, but I'll admit he and Scott may be debatable.

CPA... you do realize it's not Alabama's fault that you guys can't get any highly-ranked recruits. Right?

Wait.... shite.. it IS our fault!!!

the five stars are supposed to represent the players who rivals project as 1st rounders. Can any of you actually say that you think all of those guys are future first rounders in the NFL draft.

Andre Smith - Yes
Chad jackson - Yes
Julio Jones - Yes
all others - NO

Well shite, I think they at least have to have equal playing time before they can be judged, don't you?

CPA... I don't know you... I'm sure you're a good guy (just mentally fricked up because you're an Auburn fan )....

Will you be "okay" after Alabama goes into JH stadium and murders your team?

You gonna be aight?

It's the Nick Saban factor. Plain and simple.

Dre and Nico were legit 5*.. Fluker was a 5* based off measurables alone, he's incredibly raw.

DO you think Love and Scott are 1st rounders? I didn't think so. If they were that good, they would be starting from day 1.
