Rivals doesn't seem to agree:
. Alabama will continue to dominate the state of Florida.
Farrell’s take: FACT. Nick Saban continues to go into Florida and dominate the in-state schools and there are no signs of things slowing down. LB/DE
Dallas Turner
is the latest example of a player coveted by the Big Three in the state who was plucked away by the Tide. Alabama has four different four-stars from the state of Florida in Turner,
Christian Leary
,
Agiye Hall
and
Jacorey Brooks
, and you can make it five if you include IMG transplant
JC Latham
. This has been consistent for years now, as players such as
Amari Cooper
,
Calvin Ridley
,
Jerry Jeudy
,
Patrick Surtain
and many others have decided to compete at Alabama with great results. As long as Saban is around, Florida will be a pipeline.
Gorney’s take: FACT. Over the last four recruiting cycles, including 2021, Alabama has more commits or signees among the top 10 players in the state than Florida State, Florida or Miami. It’s not just Alabama, as Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson and others are coming in there for top talent. And Saban isn't just getting players from the state, he’s also developing them to be high-level NFL Draft picks. There aren’t many busts there. So, Alabama has the name recognition, the success, the development and the pipeline is growing. It’s going to continue.

Lil Nick doesn't know what Dancin Dan knows. Lil Nick still thinks you need top talent to win. He just doesn't understand three star whisperin.
