re: Alabama fans are killing me on this board

you guys talk about class rankings, but look at all the top recruits that never saw the field or that got booted off the team.

If Rivals or Scout would go back and re-rank our teams based on the players that stayed and played we would be much lower than the original rankings.

Those recruiting numbers really dont mean crap. Yes a 5 star is probaly better than a two star, but THEY ARE KIDS AND NO CLUE HOW THEY WILL TURN OUT. IT IS JUST LIKE A KID WITH A 29 ACT, HE HAS ABILITY TO MAKE GOOD GRADES BUT WILL HE? I picked thta muber because I have a lot of buddies that failed out of college with 27-29 ACT's. Some had drinking problems, some missed home, girlfriend at home, some didnt study, some just didnt like college. Same prpblems with college athletes. This is all BS to prop up and create Recruiting Services like Rivals and Scout who dont even meet most of these kids or know much about them other than 40 times size bench press etc. Anybody in the top 15 or 20 so can have a better class than someone else. Since the coaches recuit and call plays just judge them by wins on the field.
