Thoughts on the current state of recruiting

Getting rid of the Perry effect would be very worthwhile.

Alabama reaps 5 star recruits nationwide with ease.  So it can still be done.  

Yes, however if you look at Saban's first year there they had zero 5 stars and just barely top ten in recruiting. That despite being a big splash higher coming back from the NFL.

Not saying we should not expect some, but just want to point out that it is not always that easy.
