I don’t know when or why our recruiting has gone so downhill. The teams from 2011-2015 had much more top end talent. While the results never matched our recent ones because of BVG and Rees at qb, those teams could have easily done more with the right coaches. 
 

Misses

CB- unacceptable… Lewis started as a freshman? He should be at Purdue or Bowling Green and not sure he’d be starting there. It’s not pretty behind him either. Always been an issue under Kelly though. 
 

LB- this group is just not very athletic. We had guys like Smith, Morgan, Coney… these guys would never sniff the field on those teams. 
 

WR- Austin is the big shot? He can’t catch the ball or create separation, Lenzy isn’t either. No one on this team is in Fullers league, I’d argue TJ Jones and Daniels are better than any of these receivers. Heck even Robinson caught everything. 
 

OL- either they missed on guys or Quinn is completely inept at developing them. Probably a bit of both but I’d lean more towards Quinn based on the offers. 
 

QB- Do I need to say more? A development issue but also a recruiting issue. The guys who transferred out never succeeded either.

I believe in D recruiting. Kelly needs to push the off side much harder to get better results.  

This is a side effect of having Book and 4 NFL ready lineman.

 

What do recruits look for? PLAYING TIME.

 

How much Playing Time was available at QB and OL the last 2-3 years? Not Much.

Can’t use that as an excuse. Bama gets 5 star after 5 star waiting in the wings for their shot. Can’t use that excuse here.

Bama's on a different planet. Saban's got 1st rounders drafted at every position during his time at Bama.

We are not Bama.

Look at Clemson., 2 losses already. it happens.

Yea but they go to Bama to sit and wait their turn while learning from the best coach in the nation and also knowing they're going to eventually play for a NC when their turn arises.

It’s also happening at OSU, Clemson and Georgia to a lesser degree.
