Are they 4* so Saban recruits them or are they 4* because Saban recruits them?

When I see rosebowl saying stone is "working thru the process" to make his decision. That tells me enough about where he will end up... Oh well
One thing in our favor is his GF is transferring to State next year
If we get all of the guys we are after, this will be a really good class whether stone commits or not. I think the coaching carousel is playing right into our hands and we are getting many of these guys that may have gone to LSU or ole miss or tenn. class looks loaded if we close on these guys.

He going to commit to the good guys today?
Our fans are much more intrigued by Stone Blanton than our football coaching staff is. Like it or not, he is not a huge priority to them. He is higher on the baseball board than the football board. When Chris Bell commits as a LB, people are going to really freak out.
I'll say it- Avery Sledge can be a better player than Stone. Not that Stone isn't good (He's a take for sure), Sledge is faster, longer, & more athletic. Stone is more Jett Johnson, while Sledge is more KJ Wright. Again, give me both, but we'll survive just fine with one of them if Stone can't see the light.
I think we probably end up with Stone but this narrative that the staff ?dropped the ball on him? is false. He was coming off a shoulder injury and didn?t have great senior film. I?m not talking about senior highlights?his full film. Our coaches don?t love him as much as our fans. Throw in OM as a factor and that he is a ?4 star? and everyone is scared to death to lose him. Also factor in baseball and that he?s highly coveted there so there is a lot of outside pressure to get him in the class. Good football prospect but if he was not from MS?particularly Madison and committed to the baseball team, people wouldn?t blink an eye.
Sledge looks like he will be a badass with coaching and a college S&C program. These are the guys I like to find.
I want Stone, so let's not let that get lost, but we're okay at the LB position. We've recruited well there in the last few years.

That's a solid WR right there that has really good offers.
