[FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular]The numbers don’t stop there. Alabama’s five-star recruits as a whole in that 2008-15 recruiting period are drafted at a 75.9 percent clip. Earlier this week, 247Sports looked at draft data from the last two years and found that five-star recruits are generally picked at around a 61 percent ratio. Take away Alabama’s yearly haul from that group, and the percentage drops to 54.2.

[FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular]That’s a staggering gap in development. It also helps explain just why the Tide have been so dominant.[/FONT]
