Player development has really been at the heart of the Bama dynasty. Maybe a little-known factoid:

About half of Bama 5-stars have been drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft, a whopping 48.8%. Only 18.3% of every other 5-star in the country was drafted in the first round. Player development is getting overlooked a lot with our recruiting.

The real question should be is are they successful in the league?

so you mean to tell me if you recruit the best players in high school, they turn out to be among the best players in college? Color me surprised!! I’m sure bama does a nice job developing players but let’s not pretend they have a secret sauce. They put guys in the pros bc they sign the best players in the land. It’s akin to calling calipari or the UK program some sort of mythical player developer bc they send guys In the first round.

You don't have to pretend anything. The 5 stars developed at Bama go into the NFL draft at near 50%. The 5 stars from everywhere else in college football about 18% in the first round. Player development is everything in sports. As coaching is. The lazy argument is often the quick dismissal of all the hard work these players and coaches put into this craft.

So true. Manny coddles them and builds them up to be overconfident; Saban lights them up and constantly reminds them that they haven't done **** yet. The results speak for themselves. I'm hoping Manny is learning to find the right balance in year 3. He's certainly surrounded himself with a staff that should know better based on the places they have coached at.

We’ve certainly have heard reports that Simpson and TRob are coaching the kids hard. I think Manny is slowly starting to realize you have to break these prima donna’s down first then build them back up. I think the team shall play with an edge this season unlike we’ve seen in awhile (see ND circa 2017).

I think you're right. I overreacted. Manny has surrounded himself with really good coaches. I'm sure those guys are pushing these kids to stay even keeled. We also have more veterans on this team then ever which should help on this front.

nobody is arguing that the bama spending apparatus doesn’t yield good results. You sink tons of money into the system and saban is able to recruit/pay for top notch coaches along with top notch players and you get a team stacked with 4/5 star players with good coaches. You’re going to win a lot and elevate players’ play and promote others because of the winning (high tide raising all boats kind of thing). Sure there’s hard work and good coaching but let’s not pretend there’s a secret formula to developing players that bama has that nobody else does. There’s nobody better in pushing guys and coaches.

If money and talent are all that, Georgia would have won the last 5 championships. Pretty sure the NFL scouts don't care how much our coaches are making.

Congrats for this very impressive history.

Just kidding. *** off, then go find a Hillbilly circle jerk to talk about it some more.

Your coach is the anti christ.

So must Oklahoma and Ohio State. Not all 4 and 5 stars are created equal.

jeezus, you are insufferable. I was trying to be nice. Do you think butch Davis had some secret sauce when he was coached and signed all those future first rounders and pro bowlers? No, he just happened to sign the best players. Sure, hard work and good coaching we’re part of it but let’s not overthink it - those kids were flat out ballers and butch did a great job at evaluating them. Evaluating the right players trumps coaching, apparatus, etc. bama does a nice job evaluating players. Yeah, coaching, hard work are part of it but not the big reason. Like I said, no secret sauce.

enjoy saban bc when he’s gone, bama will come back to reality again as the Saban apparatus will be gone. Sure, you’ll keep bagging up recruits, etc, but it won’t be the same.
