Every program misses out on prospects. I find it laughable that other fan bases expect us to be unsatisfied with this class because we didn't get LF or Thomas. We brought in four last year (three now minus Kamara) and already have Yeldon and Drake in place. Our class wasn't dependent on a RB. Losing Thomas is not even comparable to Auburn losing Evans.

No I'm sure Les and Malzahn have never not signed a recruit they wanted.

I did my fair share of melting, but this is pretty comparable actually.

Getting Evans wouldn't have actually addressed a severe need in this class. Would have definitely been nice to have him but not getting Roc would be much worse for us going forward.

Granted, Bama doesn't need Evans as much as we need Roc, but Evans was far from the be-all-end-all need of our class.

Racean Thomas was a need for Auburn (Tre Mason gone this year, Cam Artis-Payne and Corey Grant gone next year), RaShaan Evans was a luxury for either Auburn or Alabama.
