Technically no, but it is kind of disengenous.

That lsu has a better pitch than Alabama has now?

Obviously not if you go by where players where drafted. Those saying otherwise are just fans trying to spin it toward their team. Multiple busts from 1 school doesn't really matter. Look at Penn State, Larry Johnson still went in the first after Blair Thomas, Carter, Enis etc.

It is more about the player than where he went to school. Does anyone honestly think that Fournette has a better chance to go in the first if he goes to Alabama and will be relegated to 3rd at best if he goes to LSU? Richardson was much, much better than Ware. That's why they were drafted where they were. Its not like Ware would have gone #3 and TR in the 6th if they switched schools.

A lot of LSU fans like to use the saving players argument, but the truth is they were rotating RB's because no one really distinguished himself for an extended period the last couple of years until Hill. Ridley had like 240 or so carries in 2010, i don't think anyone else had 100. Bama's had better RB's and a much better OL.
