I'm not saying we stay at #15 but if he can start getting top 15 classes here consistently, then watch out.

He's 15 because of the number of recruits, not the quality. An average of 3 stars, which you currently are, will be around 30th. Which is not going to dominate anything in the SEC. Even when Saban leaves, the other SEC teams are going to out recruit you head over heels. Arky may win a match up here or there, but top 30 recruits aren't going to dominate shite. It's a recipe for 8-4 seasons, with a 9-3 sprinkled in. But hell, that would probably suffice.

Yes, we didn't have like two back to back seasons of 10 wins with recruiting that bad before
