No, it means Wallace has developed over his time at Alabama - which should be considered a good thing.
I don't think anybody recruited Wallace. I read a story where he didn't even have a rating by the recruiting services.
If Wallace is starting over our 4-star recruits, who aren't even getting snaps in trash time, then our evaluations are crap.
We've passed on a lot of good CB talent in the last 3 years because they "didn't fit our system."
ETA: This isn't a knock on Wallace. He's been awesome.

Again, that is just wrong. Sometimes guys develop better.
Rashad Johnson and Javier Arenas are two recent examples of guys who few or in Johnson's case literally NOBODY wanted yet developed in college and went on to play in the league.
You gonna say our evaluations are crap because Johnson and Arenas were starting over start recruits? If Bama wasn't consistently putting DBs on all SEC teams and in the NFL you'd be able to make a point, but that isn't the case. We simply got lucky that a kid from Arizona loved Alabama enough to come clear across the country to live a dream and turned out to also be a really good football player.

Five years of experience can often trump slightly more talent. It's not like Levi is slow or unathletic.
As far as Holcombe, he really hasn't stood out to me as being particularly good, or particularly bad. So, I'd say he's doing fairly well.
