I really don't understand how recruits can buy that whole "playing time" argument. TJ Yeldon and Ameri Cooper were true freshmen that stepped in and played right away at Alabama.

Your depth at RB was a lot different too, and you needed help at WR as that was a weakness and no upper classmen better than Cooper. You just picked up 4 top running backs so don't think that depth won't be an issue for a recruit. Are there good arguments to suggest it is worth it to wait going to Bama? You bet, but to say you don't understand is saying you don't understand football, or recruiting. I am betting you do and maybe didn't think your post through before submitting.

Besides offensive line, the position of WR was our biggest strength. You noticed we didn't miss a beat when we lost DeAndrew White and Kenny Bell to injury. Those were two impact wide receivers and we suffered no drop off without them. Had Chris Black not gotten injured for the year in summer work outs we would have had two freshmen wide receivers starting this year because Black was more highly regarded than Cooper throughout spring and summer camp. And it's not because of lack of depth, it's just because those two guys were that freaking good.
