The one big advantage of recruiting at the level Coach Saban does, we have many many elite athletes sitting on the bench at other positions, but, played multiple positions in high school including the RB position..

If the RB depth becomes scary thin as it appears, I imagine we'll move some of those elite athletes, to RB for quality depth & plug along like we always do under Coach Saban..
