Recruiting still comes down to development. The reason for Bama's lasting success is the continued development of players. It's good that they get 5 stars, but they get those 5 stars to reach their potential. I mean look at those OM classes that were ranked so highly. Take the 2013 class, their records for 4 years were 8-5, 9-4, 10-3, and 5-7. So 32-19 for 4 years.

Our 2011 class for comparison was 7-6, 8-5, 7-6, and 10-3. So 32-20 for 4 years. It all comes down to what you can do with them once they're in your building.
