The Stars Matter team makes a thorough examination of Alabama from a recruiting perspective. Is the "Nick Saban Way", an accumulation of the best talent in the sport, the only option for Kalen DeBoer in Tuscaloosa, or can the Tide's new head coach do what he did in Washington (3:00)? LSU's made some huge strides (33:00). Will Nick Saban let Alabama slide (38:00)? There are no more excuses for Miami (45:00), and trivia on our way out the door (1:04:00).
