Maybe the kids in the 2018 class see how stacked Bama's 2017 class is especially at certain positions like RB.

Yet Alabama still has a top five class, phan.

Bama will have a top 3 class.

Bama has a huge recruiting weekend starting today and Saban has just hired 4 young, ace recruiters to the staff. Bama will finish top 3-4 this year and make a run at the top class in 2019.

The talent instate is a joke this year...Bama got who they wanted though and next yr will be a better year . We recruit nationwide anyway now but Saban always gets the blue chip Bama kids when it's a good year instate.

No the hell Bammer didn't get who they wanted. They would have taken both Coynis Miller and Asa Martin for sure, but both picked Auburn.

I think that's definitely true for Asa, idk about Coynis.

Martin was definelty Bama's 2nd choice at RB and didn't get him. Had to go to option 3 at RB.
Miller didn't look that great this year. Malik Langham passed him as the top instate DL.
Ross, the state's top player, is now considered a heavy Bama lean.
Bama has already signed the number 2 player in the state in Armour-Davis.

Langham had an outstanding senior year but he did not pass him as top instate DL. Miller just got a major bump by both 247 & Rivals. He's the #3 player in state based off 247 composite rankings This post was edited on 1/23/18 at 1:01 pm

I think he might even be 2nd ahead of Jaylon Armour Davis once they update the new rankings. He is now rated higher than JAD on both Rivals and ESPN. I don't think the 247 composite fully reflects the new rankings yet

247 just updated the composite rankings. JAD is the 115th player nationally. Coynis Miller is now 117th

Point being , when it's a strong year instate Bama gets whoever they want...It's a fact and no amount of spin will change that. It's not a coincidence Bama's class is mostly out of state guys this year as well as the fact they're having to be selective this year. They recruit on a national landscape now.

Never know about instate talent. Both Auburn and Bama passed on Demarcus Ware.

C'mon, man. Auburn usually gets some of the top in-state guys too.

Exactly, let's say there's a strong year in state...Saban will get about 6-7 of the top 10.

Skip 2008 and 2009, as Auburn was undergoing a head coaching change. 2010-present.

They recruit on a national landscape now.
ETA: I’ll even admit that Alabama has the advantage on in-state recruiting, but they don’t get whoever they want.

Clemson had limited scholarships when they only signed like 13 players last year.
Was a good article last year about Clemson's tactics regarding their rifle rather than shotgun approach to recruiting.
Could be the same thing going on at Bama.
