Well lets hope that ratio is off a bit. Cause were asking a handful of players to do just that this year. Williams, Beason, Copper, Henry...Mookie Cooper next year
Free of any context, I think the 99/100 ratio is about right. And if the kid is more interested in football than academics -- which almost all Top-300 recruits are -- then I question the sanity of the one in a hundred who would prefer Illinois.
But that ratio is probably altered depending on what position the recruit plays, how loaded Alabama is at that position already, whether any close friends of that recruit are at Alabama or Illinois, etc.
The real world, obviously, features all of those contextual considerations. Even then, though, I would expect Alabama to win 90+% of any such battles.
