If Bama gets Ricks that is seven 5 stars. Like WTH.

THIS year, that's true. Most of those kids have been recruited for several years, so very few surprises there. Battleships moving at speed can't turn or stop on a dime, and it'll take a year or two for the system to even out Bama's barbershop bagman advantage.

Going forward, I doubt they can keep up that same pace. I mean, geez, when was the last time LSU signed this many 5-stars during early signing (or during an entire year, for that matter)?

Give it time - Bama will eventually be just another good team amongst many good teams, and will have to compete on an even field for the best players. Like I said, barbershop bags and chargers won't give them an advantage any more.
