We Bama fans constantly hear about the “Bama Bounce” in recruiting from the haters. They basically claim once a player commits to Bama their recruiting rankings go up. It’s actually one of the more embarrassingly silly attacks offered as the same haters on another thread claim Bama should win because they get all of the top players. Anyway, Rivals recently issued their final rankings and I decided to see how much of a bounce the Bama recruits received. Well, of the 21 players Bama signed in the Rival’s 250, 16 of them dropped in the rankings. And they did so by an average of 15.5 places. Only 5 players moved up and they did so by an average of 9.4 places … 1 player didn’t move. Some Bama bounce!
By the way, does anyone know why Tony Mitchell dropped so much on just about every recruiting ranking services boards? He was a 5 Star at the start of the season on just about all of those boards. I’m assuming he either had a rough senior season or he didn’t perform well in the post season All-American practices/games … but I didn’t see anything to confirm that.
