    TJ Bryant did drop to a 4 star, but I didn't think he was very high on Bama.

    They did not pan out as well. But I don't think it of some conspiracy. FSU usually closes the best with a lot of guys. How is Rivals supposed to know where those guys are going? I would blame a lot of it on their Offensive Coordinator. All in all, they have had about as many not pan out as the average team.

    You can look at teams rankings, but when you look at it player by player is is pretty hard to find some conspiracy. I just think it is more that they focus on BCS teams instead of smaller schools, not one school in particular.

    I agree. They make such a late push, it's impossible to follow some kind of conspiracy to overrating these players. It's simply a case of the head coach being a bit too old and losing his touch.

    And that entire "let me hire a family member as my OC was simply insane".

    Jimbo is proving to be a pretty good recruiter so far

    you guys are arguing over something as subjective as talent evaluations.

    Fellas, not even the pros get it right. How many busts come out of the first round of the NFL draft every year?

    There is no way of knowing how a kid is react to his new surroundings, coaches, training, responsibilites..etc.

    One question, how is the CEO of Rivals connected to Alabama? His bio states that he graduated from Libscomb University which is in Tennessee.

    Yea, I looked him up and noticed that too. Perhaps the person who originated Rivals (not Terry) was a Bama grad. Better look up the ladder anyway since Rivals is now owned by Yahoo. Yikes, the folks there are all from the Farm.
