Homey, Bama has been at the top of the recruiting world since Saban has been there. You are not "more talented". You've been the most "talented" for years. You're using that talent differently.

You realize that certain positions ebb and flow in talent, right? Even for Alabama. We haven't recruited the #1 classes of WRs or QBs during this run (that generally goes to USC or Georgia or someone).

Our QBs before Tua were a 3-star, 3-star, 4-star, 3-star RB, 3-star transfer and 4-star.

We've almost always had 1 elite, NFL receivers (Julio, Coop, Ridley), a decent small slot receiver (Maze, Jones, Ardarius) and a bunch of blockers. This is evident by the draft. This year we have 1 elite, NFL receiver (Jeudy) and 2-3 guys that "most writers who are apparently dumb and just SEC idiots" seem to think are NFL caliber WRs (Ruggs, Waddle, maybe Smith).

We had our first elite TE 2 years ago with OJ Howard (who was a freshman in 2013), and now we have another with Irv Smith.

We've always had an "elite" running back or more.

If you had asked us in 2013 if our receiving corp was elite we would have told you no, that it had 1 elite guy and 1-2 pretty good college players. This is the first year ever that we have said we have great wide receivers.
