That process starts before they ever sign their name on the dotted line.

There is clearly a very effective derecruitment process there.

Equal talent is the key. When you have a 5-star and a 2-star, the 5-star can coast and act like a prima-donna and still get playing time. When both players are 2-stars, if you coast or act like a prima-donna, then the other guy gets to play. In Saban's case, he has 4 and 5 stars. If a 5-star doesn't want to do it the Saban way, it's okay. Because there is another 5-star ready to take his place. So Saban doesn't have to cater to the stars. Because he has a roster full of them. At most schools, 5-stars aren't expendable, and the player knows it. At Alabama, they are expendable.

I agree this explains much of it, but USC, Ohio State, LSU, etc all recruit tons of 4 and 5 star guys as well but still have problems. There's more to it

Huge start to the 2020 class. 2 of the top 5 players in the state next year. Both WR a position we definitely need an upgrade at. Add Malik Heath to those 2 & that's 3 4*'WR in the class with 1 or 2 more WR spots left.

Also, about to be some flipping news within the next week or so. Hang on, it's bout to get crazy!
