Alabama has signed 41 draft-eligible five-stars since 2008. Those players were picked in the first round of the NFL Draft at a 48.8% clip. The other 285 five-stars who didn’t sign with Alabama? They were selected in the first round at an 18.3% rate. You read that correctly: A five-star who picks Alabama in the Saban era is more than doubly likely on average to be a first-round pick compared to college football as a whole.
It doesn’t stop there. Alabama five-stars have been drafted 75.6% of the time since 2008. Every other draft-eligible five-star in that window was picked at a 63.1% rate.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but in that time frame, Saban has not only had more opportunity to sign blue chip players than any other coach, but he's also pretty good at it.
Just an FYI.

Saban is a great evaluator and usually only recruits 5 stars who are actually deserving of that ranking and leaves the overrated guys for other programs.

1. Saban is a good recruiter of talent
2. Saban is a good developer of talent
3. Alabama football has more cameras on it than any other school, leading to more TV exposure and more opportunities for NFL scouts to see Alabama's players than other schools', leading to a higher draft rate for blue chip prospects at the University of Alabama

When you get to pick, it means you get to pick the best out of the five stars too.

It’s the officiating.

Not all 5 stars are created equal. For example a 5 star that is likely too small to make it in the NFL is not normally a Bama target. Could still be a good to great college player but NFL scouts looking for a bit more. Those guys aren’t usually worthy of first round picks.

Rookie numbers. The shrimp boat captain is sitting at 100%.

It's a great track record, for sure.
And it would be even better if they'd fire the guy in charge of recruiting/signing kickers.

According to the article you cite, since Ed Orgeron arrived at LSU, he has a 100% rate of five stars being drafted, higher than Saban’s rate. Impressive.

And somehow - the only way A1abana can win championships is if they’re:
- Carried by the CFP committee after not winning their division
- Carried by a plague

I truly believe the biggest reason to this is the culture that Saban has installed into the bama program
Posted on 6/11/21 at 9:48 am to coachcrisp
Why do Bama fans throw out shite that everyone already knows, acting as if nobody knows? Yes, y’all are good at football. Yes, y’all have the greatest coach of all time. Yes, y’all produce tons of NFL talent. We get it.

Not sure what the OP needs help understanding? Reads more like a "look at our program" thread or the OP is mad that not every 5* doesn't pick bama.

I'm sure this was just a "let me fellate myself about bama" thread but it's pretty simple, IMO:
1) Saban is getting the elite of the elite 5 stars. Najee Harris for instance was a "5 star" but was also the consensus #1 RB and a top 5 overall player nationally, he was essentially a can't miss. Khalan Laborn was also a "5 star" RB in that class...who? I know. Guy went to FSU, didn't do shite, transferred, and has never been heard from again. Both were 5 stars but one was the top of the top of the 5 stars while the other just barely made it instead of being a high 4*. So basically, not all 5 stars are the same and saban is getting the ones that are practically guaranteed high NFL picks
2) A 5 star that picks alabama is going to get the best coaching in college and is going to get the most TV and media coverage and likely play in the most national titles compared to any other program. Not to mention, if they are starting they've beaten out other elite prospects to be there
So fellate on, but it's not that surprising if you really think about it
