re: If you’re a recruit with nfl potential that has an offer from Alabama...

Bama burns their players out which in turn leads to mediocre NFL careers. Julio is the only STAR in the NFL from Bama; LSU has multiple.

I'm not. My post had nothing to do the money difference. My post was to why that is the case right now. There isn't something that because these players are at Alabama, as an institution, they will have a better chance of being drafted higher or whatever. It is because of the roster makeup and who they are playing with. You'd get the same results at any other SEC school with the same type of recruiting classes.


Now to answer the OP's post, maybe they just didn't like Alabama?

Read the title of the thread. The REASON 5*s would probably choose Alabama is because they have a much higher %/chance of being drafted in the first round..it's a proven FACT!...and $$$ is why they go pro to begin with!

Okay? Where in either of my posts did I deny any of this?

Neither does LSU. I notice you had to go back really far for this list.

Russell Gage and Chark are 3* rookies.

Exactly, you don’t know. Inbreed POS

for starters check out, Derrick Henry, Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley, Kenyon Drake, Eddie Jackson, and Mark Ingram's performance last weekend and get yourself educated. When you post something as asinine and clueless as you first post, expect folks to identify you for the clown-show fool that you are..sorry for having to being it to your attention.

It's so attractive that a middle class family can afford to move the entire family from Hawaii to Birmingham without any cash under the table from a booster to help get a job and house. Makes total sense

the thread is about WHY a potential NFL prospect would choose Alabama, and I pointed out the fact that the much greater % of Alabama 5*s get drafted in the 1st round (much more $$$) than 5*s from all the other schools.

And I expanded as to why that was the case.

quote:

Your posts were just talking about being drafted in general...a big difference.

My post was about why they are getting drafted at higher %:

quote:

---

if you have a roster that has double the number of 5* players as any other, there is a good chance they will get drafted at a higher % than a team that get's one 5* maybe every other year.

Yes, I said drafted, but the entire point is that when you play on a roster like Alabama, you will naturally have a higher chance of getting drafted (1st round or any round) due to the talent around you.

I was agreeing with your original point, just expanding on the reason why it is true. Which is why in my first response to you, I agreed with your point, I even quoted your point about it all being about the %. Sorry you must have missed that. My only other point was that Alabama as an institution isn't increasing their chance, the same type of recruiting done at another school would have the same results. Point being, you want to increase your chance of getting drafted, you go to a school loaded with talent around you.
