The 2010 Alabama Recruiting Class was very mediocre

Most of these guys just didn't pan out or led very lukewarm careers at Alabama. Some have one more year to make some sort of splash. I bolded the players who were at least okay.
Deion Belue DB - An okay career at Alabama. Was burned way too many times though.
Ronnie Carswell WR - Transfered to West Virgnia and kicked out there too.
Corey Grant RB - Couldn't cut it at Alabama and transfered to Auburn.
Alfy Hill LB - Some sort of class problem with being eligible. Plays for USCE now.
Adrian Hubbard LB - Very medicore player. Selfish and thought too highly of himself. Didn't buy into the system.
Brandon Ivory DL - Has one more year to make a big splash. Could happen as the DL looks to be very good.
Harrison Jones TE - Injured and not able to play.
Arie Kouandjio OL - Not as good as his brother. Maybe will prove to be as good this year but doubtful.
Wilson Love DL - Never saw the field at Alabama.
Keiwone Malone WR - Violated rules and was suspended and transfered.
DeQuan Menzie DB - Had a solid 2011 season and was a good player for us.
C.J. Mosley LB - Outstanding player and leader. One of the best that has played at Bama and one of the best of this class.
Nick Perry DB - Hasn't made a splash yet due to injurys. Lets see what he does the final year.
Blake Sims ATH - Hard worker but just not a very good QB. Should have tried to convert to a rb/wr.
Brian Vogler TE - Might make an impact but has a much more talented and younger TE in front of him.
DeAndrew White WR - Solid player. Has a chance to have a great final season at the capstone.
Jarrick Williams DB - Injured for some of his time at Bama. Not too sure what he will do his final season here but has potential.
Jay Williams P - Didn't do much.
Cade Foster PK - One of the worst players to every wear the crimson tide uniform. Cost Bama multiple games and a chance at a 3rd title in a row.
Jalston Fowler RB - Hard working and solid player. Will make waves his final season here.
John Fulton DB - Meh career at Alabama.
Brandon Lewis DL -Stayed in trouble and didn't do crap at Bama.
Chad Lindsay OL - Was a solid player but transfered to Ohio State.
Darius McKeller OL - Didn't pan out and transfered.
DeMarcus Milliner DB - One of the Alabama greats. Was a great player while at Bama was defintley missed the 2013 season.
Anthony Orr DL - Ddidn't see the field at all.
Austin Shepherd OL - An okay player. Not sure what kind of impact he will have in his final year.
Phillip Sims QB - Ddidn't pan out and transfered.
Petey Smith LB - Didn't pan out and transfered out.

Cade Foster was not one of the worst players to ever wear the uniform. Before the collapse in the auburn game, he was having a solid year. Unfortunately, in the two most crucial big games in the last two years, he was a disaster.
I would take Cade Foster's kicking over Brandon Avalos' performance at quarterback any day of the year.

Larry, we all know the Bama recruiting hype is way overblown. You're not telling us anything new. I'm sure this class was probably rated top 5 by some services. For example, Bama allegedly picks and chooses who it wants from GA. But, the only above average player I can remember during Saban's tenure from GA was Chance Warmack and you got him because we didn't offer. Mistake on our part, but we didn't get "beat" in the strictest sense of the word. Some of the other guys were hyped up after Bama "swooped in and stole them," only to have middling, mediocre careers.

Shepherd had a solid year last year at RT. I'll have to check cfbstats, but I believe most of Yeldon's production came off the right side with Steen and Shepherd.
Other than that, yeah, kind of right. This class isn't anywhere as good as the '08,'09, or '11 classes. Alfy Hill was getting a lot of praise in spring, but something fricked up and he had to be released.

Agreed. There is certainly some talent there that could have started on a lot of teams, but that class seemed to lose a lot of playing time to the excellent classes before it and after it. Nice observation.

Bama fans have been hyping this dude up forever and he's done nothing memorable

Says the guy who:
a) has performed on a prime-time stage in front of a national audience.
b) rode the bench of his high school football team.
c) lives in his mommer's basement.
d) both b and c

Hey Larry,
I was interested in your opinion on the best pornography. Do you think you could post several photos of your favorite stars in hot action? I think it would be very helpful to all viewers on the rant.
Kind regards,
Everyone

It didn't really turn out as good as it should have on paper but honestly there are over 100 teams that would have swapped in a heartbeat.

I agree, and I thought so at the time. It was a weaker class compared to the 08 and 09 classes. The 11 class was better, but not on the level of 08 and 09. 12 and 13 were on that level though, and 14 straight up lapped them.
Of course we're talking on paper.

I remember Vogler and one of the Sims were super big deal; that Kouandijo too.
Proves to show you why how you finish in recruiting class rankings doesn't matter; its about coaching and player development. Saban has been one heck of a coach so whomever doesn't pan out, its solely on the player himself for not buying in or understanding the system.
A certain fanbase needs to understand that but they just can't; four or five stars don't technically pan out as advertised.
