It's always been crazy to me that so many talented but not quite elite guys would rather sit on the bench for three years at Bama (paying their own way for the first of those) just to get limited playing time in the final two, instead of going almost anywhere else and getting decent time by their second or third year. Somewhat similar with Kentucky in basketball. I guess they just demand that much prestige and respect among recruits, though it's hard for me to understand.
