Okay. But our 2017 class was seniors. I mean we will always have players leaving early, but so does Alabama.

People see great recruiting and expect results yesterday.
I also get that Kirby is only in his 5th year as a HC, and I have no problem with giving him time to grow and learn.
I am mainly talking about intensity. Playing through the whistle. Getting that little something extra out of the players.
Like I said....maybe it is my imagination, but we just don't seem to have that little extra ooomph we need to get over the hump.

Wilson, Thomas, and swift made their move to the nfl last season and did excellent in the draft. That's the 2017 class and players with oomph.
This year, Lecounte,Webb, Herring, Rice, Shaffer, and Stokes are going pro.
That's not a bad NFL class, imo.
I'm not sure I understand your issue.

Apparently not.
My issue isn't how our players do in the draft. It's the field. When I watch Alabama they seem top have just a little more oomph to their hits. A little more hustle.
I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but there is a difference. I'm not sure if it is an issue with motivation, or what it is.
And again...it could just be my imagination.

Honestly I don’t see this at all. Our O line busts their butt down the field (or at least did after the disaster of the MSU game) and our defense flies all over the field and has been better than Bama’s defense the last couple seasons.
The main difference the last couple years is playmakers and offensive scheme. At least in my opinion.

I think our scheme is catching up. Just need the qb play.

I kind of feel this a little bit. It was an exemplary play. But watching the sec championship.
The interception to Florida that metchie hawks down and lays the wood to force the fumble (of what turns into points in a single possession game). Which WR of ours do you see doing that right now?
Granted that’s now how they are measured, but the mentality of there is a little bit more does seem real

You should pay closer attention to our special teams and all of the receivers busting their rump.

I honestly don’t doubt that one bit. I probably do sell those guys short.
That was just a good example I could think of where it seems like execution is all facets, all times, all positions for them.

Our classes have been as good, so there is some missing ingredient. Something is missing.
It might be as simple as talent evaluation. They're just better at getting the guys who are legit 5-stars, etc. (i.e., they pan out as good as, or better than, projected), while we're getting guys who are 5-stars on paper, but really aren't quite. Having such a turnover rate on the coaching staff might play into that - we just haven't developed as an analytical machine yet.

We've turned over quite a few quality players from the 2017 and 2018 classes. They don't help the team if they arent on the team as upperclassmen (this shouldnt be a concern in the case of fields or cox as they left because of their position or players ahead of them. But there are a ton of other players who skipped out on upperclass contributions)

He’s in some first round mocks already

I saw a video about the evolution of Bama player's bodies. S&C is a difference for sure, but our guys are on par with Clemson or OSU.
Scheme wise, the team is continuing to evolve on both sides of the ball. The offensive evolution is apparent, and on D the strict, disciplined, gap integrity, run stopping approach is becoming more aggressive in pass rush. I expect that to evolve further as the team puts up more points.
I'm not one who's happy with being close every year, but there's real reason for optimism.

True, but he is a redshirt sophomore.
He might get picked in the first, he definitely would be picked in the first round next year plus he would have three years exp. not just two.
Huge drop in money if he goes in the second round.

And a even bigger drop if he comes back and underperforms or suffers a injury.

So was Isaiah Wilson.
The NFL will draft players who are ready. Ojulari has a Von Miller quality to him.

You really think Wilson was ready?His NFL career is hanging on by a thread and a
arguably the worst pick in the 1st rd.

Had he made those indiscretions this past year in college, where do you think he gets drafted in 2021?
There is a difference between being ready between the gridiron and being ready off of it.

And? NFL ready or not? By that I mean actually taking snaps and making an impacts.
I've seen multiple high NFL draft picks that weren't "NFL ready" He's obviously one of em

And the argument can be made those decisions and indiscretions were made because of the NFL contract and lack of of a college structure. Never hears a word about those issues while he was here

Not when one effects the other and he was obviously not ready for either.

Right now, all that matters is where Azeez gets drafted.
Wilson’s been a moron off the field, but he got first round $. That’s all Azeez should be looking for right now. I trust him to be fine off the field.

And you could be right. It could totally be my imagination and giving them the Bama bump.
