Definitely hyperbole. To exaggerate a point.
Right now Louisiana is signing 1, 2, and 3-star athletes while Alabama is signing 3, 4, and 5-star athletes and yet because Louisiana players hit the field, Alabama found themselves in need.
Look at the situation when Trey Amos signed with Louisiana in 2020. Alabama had signed13% of ALL 5-star athletes over the previous 10 years.
Trey Amos would have never hit the field if he had signed with Alabama out of high school.
And that has to be a selling point Des uses.
Get out of those talent graveyards if you want long term paydays.
