about 5,4,3-star crap !!!

Leonard Fournette was a 5 star.

yeah what this program needs is more 2 star recruits

go play in traffic

Every 5 star under Saban has made it to the pros. Every frickin one! Don't pretend it doesn't matter.

Leonard Fournette was a 5 star.

and hes had 31 and 35 yards in his last two against Alabama...your point?

Pocic: 4 stars
Malone: 3 stars
Tehuma: 4 stars
Dodd: 3 stars
Boutte: 3/4 stars


Allen: 5 stars
Payne 5 stars
Hand: 5 stars
Williams: 4 stars
Pettway: 4 stars
Tomlinson: 4 stars
Foster: 5 stars


Guess which one of these groups kicked the ever loving shite out of the other this past weekend.

This guy gets it!

Everyone brings up Jacob Hester, one recruit that way exceeded his recruitment ranking. The fact of the matter is Alabama beats everyone because they have 5 straight #1 recruiting classes and their third stringers would be stars at most schools. Oh Eddie Jackson gets hurt, so lets move a 5 star CB to safety and take a 5 star in Tony Brown that is nothing but a special teamer on our team and insert him into corner. Alabama kills teams with their depth and the fact that you combine the best coaching mind with an all-star roster.

This is stolen from a post earlier this summer. Contrary to popular belief, data shows that stars do matter

I'm sure Jacob Hester would have done a whole lot better...

I would bet the house on it....Hester was great at getting 2 to 3 yards even when nothing was there...he would not have gone for 284 against Ole Miss though. Two completely different backs. Fournette is a home run hitter that bats .208.... Hester, on the other hand was Tony Gwynn!

All of Alabama's players are 1-star or less.
