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.
Not saying Bama doesn't develop, but the bigger difference to me in your example is depth. A lot of schools can reel in a top 15, 10, 5 class every once in a blue moon, but one great class isn't going to get you over the top. You have to string several together, and only a handful can.
