I've heard about the amazing Bama defense ad nauseam. All I have to say is, it better be amazing. A breakdown of their defensive starting 11 (from the Iron Bowl last weekend).
5 stars: 6
4 stars: 4
3 stars: 1
Avg. star rating for starting 11: 4.45
Avg. national ranking: 79.55
Avg. Rivals Rating: 5.95
To put it in perspective, we have one total player that is above their average starter on defense (Lazard, with a Rivals Rating of 6.0 and national ranking of 47). Since 2012 (and including 2017 commits to date), we have four 4 star players total (Campos, Lazard, Foster, and Kam White). I'm pretty tired of the media falling all over Bama's defense. They better be good with recruits like that.
