I am not trying to make a point one way or the other here, but there has been a lot of talk about us signing more players who are not 4 and 5 star players this year. saban has always signe several in all his classes. we have 6 so far in this years class. that is not real high for one of his classes, but I know 6 out of 14 might be a little higher than normal--but not much higher
I personally believe a higher % of 2 and 3 star players will be bust, but that is just my opinion and I know some of them turn out to be super stars. anyway I made a list of 3 stars or less he has signed that have either finished their careers or they are 5th year seniors-- it is interesting
2007--sabans 1st year so not tipicial--14 lower ranked players

I think there is a lower % of these guys that are in the N.F.L. and a higher % of them that are bust, but there are also some great players in this bunch that helped us win a lot of games and championships
I do not think when it is over an done that we will have very many more 3-stars than we have been having
I am not trying to agrue either way on this. I just thought I would put this up for discussion
