It's not so much that they peak as it is far more difficult to evaluate a Bama player compared to one who attends virtually any other school. The reason is simple: depth and rotation surrounded by outstanding talent at every single position. That scenario of having 5 stars all over the field, rotating in and out constantly, simply doesn't happen elsewhere.

If you're evaluating a LSU you know what you're getting because as good as talent level is right now it's still within the range of normal elite talent on a college team (top tier - elite but not unprecedented). The space Bama/Saban has carved out for himself in recruiting is simply unprecedented and unreal. With a Bama player you've got to figure out how much of it was being able to rotate/stay constantly fresh, lean on teammates, and not have to make up for the player beside you.
