The most difficult questions are those that demand answers, especially in Alabama football.
In the early years of Nick Saban, the Crimson Tide mastered getting the top recruiting prospects — including in-state five stars.
Players such as Julio Jones, Nico Johnson, Dre Kirkpatrick, D.J. Fluker, Dee Milliner, T.J. Yeldon, O.J. Howard, Reuben Foster, Marlon Humphrey, Rashaan Evans, Da’Ron Payne, Mack Wilson, Ben Davis, LaBryan Ray, Pierce Quick, Quandarrius Robinson, Kool-Aid McKinstry, and Jeremiah Alexander committed and signed to the Crimson Tide as top in-state five stars. Many of these names looked up to Coach Saban as a father figure, a mentor, and someone that understood how to grow boys into manhood.
