McKewon skewers recruiting study

4 & 5 stars have the physical ability to play sooner, but do they have the IQ portion of the game? The film is against High School teams, which may only have a handful of D1 talent. When then get to college, most of the players on the team is D1 talent. Then there is the coaching aspect. Can you take the raw talent and make them better. Bo seems to have changed his recruiting philosophy. He appears to be recruiting more speed and talent that fits his system. Time will only tell if he can coach them up.

Some of you missed what I see as the key point in the article. It's not the stars that matter its the number of stars. Bama over signs every recruiting period. Thus, they never miss on a guy. If Bo, signs 25 guys and misses on 25%, that can be devastating. However, if Bama signs 45 and misses on 25% nobody cares because they still has 25 top recruits. That is what is wrong with recruiting these days. SEC allows over signing and other power conferences do not.

Alabama isn't signing 45.

Here is where Alabama's numbers favor them. You have 85 scholarship positions on your team. They have signed 100 players in the last 4 years.
