Saw on Reddit (link) there was a topic about Alabama and Georgia having more top 100 players than 100 FBS teams. Someone in the comments compiled a list and thought it was interesting enough to share.

Ironic that Memphis has more Top 100 players than we do...actually, it's damning of the prior regime
It's definitely disheartening to see the company we're in.
I'm not even sure who our one top 100 player is off the top of my head. Guessing Devon Hunter.
Our numbers need to be better, but loluva has ZERO!
Our one player is in fact Devon Hunter
How? He never even plays.
He was a top-100 rated recruit. It's not the "top-100 rated college football players"
Ahhh. Title got me
Hold on. Let me get a ladder to put this on the Fuente-sucked-at-recruiting pile
See? Therapy! Eventually, the mountain becomes a pile of rubbish and we move on!
...at least.
What's the real difference between having 1 top 100 player vs 3 in comparison to what the blue chip schools are bringing in?
...illustrates that point better than anything to me.
For what it's worth, some more stats from the reddit post...
Top 100 recruits in each conference
Teams with the most top 100 recruits:
And finally, two really interesting facts:
I am glad we are no longer reduced to attempting to explain reasoning for our players losing so much is because there is a larger challenge at hand for their lives. Bottom of the barrel...No leadership ass-clown, stay in OK.
What?
Did a cat just walk on your keyboard?
What the?
