I'd agree with those players you named and include King, TVD, Travis Homer, Shaq, Jaquan Johnson

I hear you & agree with what you're saying. While both are important - I think the development (how you lean) vs raw talent (how I lean) will always be an ongoing and interesting debate. I think Recruiters are Salesman - and some salesman are just better than others. So while I totally...

I think we're looking at this from 2 different perspectives - I think you're talking about development, and I'm looking at it purely from a numbers/math perspective. Even if you look at Alabama (or any top team) - they're going to have plenty of top recruits over the years that didn't work out...
