You just think relationships with a coaching staff no longer matter?

And I remember when rival fans laughed at how low Alabama was ranked in recruiting in July. This door swings both ways, bruh. You were the ones who said Seattle Saban wouldn't be able to recruit. He landed a Top 3 class last year and looks to be well on his way to doing it again this year.

5* talent wasn't the problem last year...

No. It was depth and two sides of the football learning a different system and terminology. We also had probably the worst QB to start at Alabama in over 20 years calling plays at the line of scrimmage.

There were multiple first year starters on both sides of the ball. In a new system, with a new coaching staff. And yet they were in a great position late in the year. To sit there and argue they can’t make a jump in year two is unwise.

Don't understand the ranking when USC has one 5* and a bunch of 3*s

It’s about branding and Alabama’s brand is elite. Auburn, not so much.

Op I expect you are aware there is a board for this. This type of shite really antagonizes the other posters who follow the rules.

I’m pretty sure landing four 5 stars in less than two weeks time would have led to bragging at any point in the Saban era.


No. It would not have. You took winning for granted with Saban. Not so much these days. Now you're hanging on every commitment.
