Auburn recruiting: 10 takeaways from a tour of Alabama's top programs

10. TALENT INCREASE - In the last 15 years the overall talent has improved and gotten deeper in the state of Alabama. I covered a handful of prospects out of the state in my seven years at Clemson from 2007-2013. Dabo Swinney loves signing kids from his home state. Since those days, the perceived 2’s and 3’s in the state are now Power 4 quality. As the coaching and resources has improved in football in Alabama so has the floor of overall Division 1 talent.
