Actually if the rumors are true won't it be more like 23-25 or possibly 22-25 for the next couple years?
I don't have any way to know the exact numbers, but you get my drift.
Saban is getting early commits. Auburn has a lot of top players saying we're at the top of their list. The difference? Auburn will have to win them over by putting a decent product on the field in the fall. Not great, just decent. They'll need to look like a team that is tough, prepared, well coached, and competitive. If for some ungodly reason they're a total clusterfuck, these top recruits will be gone like a fart in the wind.
Another thing about recruiting...you can out recruit yourself. Bammer had early playing time to sell. These 5 star kids won't go somehere they're going to ride the pine for 2 or 3 years. There will come a lull in bammer's recruiting in the next couple of years. It may not last long, but it will come. Auburn has the playing time to sell now, plus they have Auburn to sell. Auburn can lay claim to many NFL players as well...but they have to put a decent product on the field to finish this recruiting job this year.
