3. ALABAMA
The Crimson Tide continue to bring in elite-level talent from Texas. A’Shawn Robinson was the most noteworthy addition back in 2013, but with the surprising emergence of Jalen Hurts this past season as a true freshman, the pipeline from Texas to Alabama is sure to continue. Three more four-stars signed with the Crimson Tide in February to help continue this trend, as wide receiver Tyrell Shavers and tight ends Major Tennison and Kedrick James all hope to make an impact in 2017.
Farrell’s take: Alabama can spot recruit anywhere and while it was a surprise it stole Robinson from Texas back in 2013, it’s no longer a surprise when the Tide are a finalist for Texas prospects. While success has been up and down for those heading to Alabama from the state, the lure of national titles will continue to draw players as long as Nick Saban is in charge.

Hate this kind of thinking. He is wonderful. I'm thankful for what he's done, is doing, and will do. That said, when he retires in a few years it isn't as if Bama is going to fall off the map. They'll still be a top 5 all time program, top 5 current job, and top 5 future. It will be attractive to coaches and we won't struggle to find a capable coach. Hell, Les Miles maintained what Saban built at LSU for 6+ before the decline and he's a functional moron.
