Twenty one five stars in the 2027 class and ESPN is already writing scouting reports on kids who have never taken a snap of college football. I remember when we found out about a recruit because somebody's uncle knew a coach's cousin. Now we got professional evaluations on 16 year old boys like they are NFL prospects. The whole thing makes me tired. Back when Coach Bryant was still roaming the sideline you earned your stars by what you did on Friday nights in front of actual people not some recruiting analyst watching hudl tape in their basement. These kids get anointed before they ever prove they can block a blitz or cover a slant route. I will take a three star kid from a small town who wants to hit somebody over a five star diva who already thniks he is too good for spring drills any day of the week.
