Sumlin stacked that kind of talent for 2-3 classes as well and they never won big.

They won a certain cotton bowl I remember...you? Sorry, couldn’t resist

Are you really retarded or just slow? The post is about teams that have had 3 top ten classes in a row. Back your lies up and provide links proving Sumlin did that.

First, 41-13.
Second, 16, 9, 5, 11, 18, 13, 17
Those are the classes Sumlin put together.
4, 6, 7.
Those are the classes Jimbo put together.

And the 4 should have been 3 . . .. . that Bru McCoy idiocy is still hilarious in hindsight.

Only thing Fisher is stacking is phone books so he can get on the roller coaster.

Atm won’t win anything as usual

You stupid fricks haven't done shite in the SEC. Even Missouri won the East twice. They have more reason to talk trash than you do. Until you win the west, eat shite and die.

Sumlin had the #9, #5, and #11 class in '13, 14, and 15, per 247, dipshit. That's pretty close and enough to "win big". He didn't do shite with it.

I know recruiting was really bad for you this year and your school is in a downward trajectory and all, but you need to relax. There is more to life than football.

It should be noted that Bama’s 2008 & 2009 recruiting classes each finished ranked #1 overall in at least one major publication. The shitty rankings of Scout and ESPN are what bring the composite down to 3rd.
ETA: This post seems to be upsetting some folks. I was just pointing out the the two teams that won National Championships came from the two classes that ranked #1 overall. The publications that didn't have those classes ranked #1 overall completely wiffed on their rankings.

Sorry man, but Gus Malzahn recruited top 10 nearly every year and you saw the inconsistent results he had.
Fisher recruited the same way at FSU and could only manage one title and one playoff appearance in a really weak ACC.
Urban Meyer recruited top 3 every year at OSU and got blown out by Purdue and Iowa.
Kirby Smart's (lack of) results speak for themselves.
Point being, recruiting well is not a new trick. Coaching matters, and it all depends on if Jimbo's best days are behind him. Nothing's guaranteed, as much as you want your little predictions to do so.

Do you know how to count punk? When did top ten include the number 11?

There's more to life than talking shite with nothing to back it up. Win something remotely significant and then run your mouth.

Yes I know how to count. You have to know how to count when you have as many trophies in your trophy case as we do.
You should turn your Hall of Champions into a skating rink and charge admission. At least you'd be getting some ROI on your investment.
Anyway......back to aggot calculus.
11 is 1 spot outside the top 10. Not 10, not 15, not 20..........1 spot. And you were 1.13 points behind the team at 10.
