OT: Is Alabama the new 'RB U'?

In the last few years you've had Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy.

T.J Yeldon is slated to be a high pick in the '15 draft, and then you also have the highly touted Derrick Henry coming up for '16.

Is Alabama now the new RB University?

That depends, does success in the NFL come into the formula? If so, Ingram and Richardson are not doing them any favours.

No, I'm talking strictly in terms of prospects. I'd assume RB U a name given to the school that produces the most NFL backs, whether or not they do well in the pros.

Absolutely they are the new RB U. They are also the new OL U in my opinion.

Henry is going to be special for real.

The '16 Draft Class in general so far looks like it is going to be a very very special group. CBs, FS, DLine, WRs, RB, one elite QB in Hackenberg, etc.

Wow Bingo. Scouting the '16 class already huh?

I thought I was nuts about this stuff.

This is looking like the strongest RB class in a long time.
