instead were going after a player like Walton who was pretty much an unknown. They've shown a knack of seeing the players trend
While I agree that Bama does a great job finding guys before they blow up, Walton isn't a great example as he was known to many coaches
I mean, when I mentioned Walton months ago as someone other teams were actively interested in/tracking LINK

I mentioned Walton on here last year, so you're right that he wasn't an unknown prospect. We still offered before most other teams, and to offer Walton and not Kobe Brown was definitely going against the national trend.

I guess I view "unknown" as a relative term when it comes to recruiting. In terms of recruiting sites, he was a relative unknown (aka not close to sniffing anybody's top 100). Sexton wasn't an unknown to all high-major colleges before his last year of AAU either. He was a relative unknown prospect...
