Yes. That's a great point. In order for that to happen the players have to see the return on investment i.e. Rueben Foster & Derrick Henry (1st & 2nd Rounders). If players trust the process and then see the return on investment, they won't mind waiting a year or two.

Saban recruits size and skill set vs raw talent (LSU), that why he's able plug-in and switch out different players with no significant drop-off.


LSU and Bama recruit the same damn players just Saban gets more of them which leads to LSU having to some guys who are raw.
And when Saban gets guys that are raw he afforded the luxury of them sitting for 2 or 3 years until their skill sets are better .

Looks like they've done okay missing the top ten now and then

Clemson recruiting rank
2013 14th
2014 13th
2015 4th
2016 6th
2017 22nd


Those years they didn't finish in the top ten go look at their avg rank per recruit. They are in the top 10 for that.
The reason their team ranking is so low is because they haven't had much attrition and don't process like Bama which leads them to having to take smaller classes

Everybody recruits five stars, that's not my point. Like I said in my previous post, Saban hones in on size, then skill set, if the skill set isn't there they will develop the player accordingly. LSU needs to improve its player development.

Saban will get players from all over the country. Hawaii (Tua), Minkah (NJ), Najee (CA), Jonah (CA). The South just happens to be riddled with top talent & size. But Saban will go anywhere. LSU takes care of Lousiana first and then looks outside.
