I don't understand how these 3 star recruits are going to "get us ranked right at the top" like Pruitt said. Another "sleeper"?

Many 3 stars in the spring become 4 stars in the summer and fall. Not sure a recruit can be called a "sleeper" if they have over a dozen offers in March of their junior year.

Go look around on the first couple pages of this forum. A bunch of kids with 5 star offer lists who are 3 stars on the recruiting sites. Those rankings will update after spring, again after summer, and once more after their senior seasons.

A "sleeper" would be someone with no power 5 offers at this point. This kid isn't in that group. :hi:

Going for bodies that can accomplish what he wants on the field. Pruitt identified one in a 3 star last season that Saban ended up dancing for.

But unlike Butch you don’t see us already having 3 or 4 low ranked kids already committed. He is offering the kids he thinks have a chance of blowing up.

Recruiting websites value Pruitt’s opinion. You will see a lot guys get a bump that are heavily targeted by him

Source was some national writer at 247. He’s been accused of giving players the Bama bump

We must have over 30 offers out across the DL

Cast a wide net, get big fish! Aight!

Both lines of scrimmage must be completely built. Notice I didn’t say rebuilt. LOS has been terrible for a long time. Even the great rushing stats for 2015-16 were made with a Qb with great escapability. DL has been embarrassing bad the last two seasons.

Because recruiting services always get it right on juniors in high school?
