Something can't be obvious if it isn't even true.
Nearly all recruits make a final list of three. Was Harris playing Ohio State too? No. Those are his final three schools, but he has to choose one of them. It doesn't mean the interest was fake with the others.
Let's entertain this being the case though. Who orchestrates it? Saban? You think that man needs equity? Further, you think he can get it by beating Kentucky for a recruit? If this were all put on by him with some kind of omniscience where he knew when Alabama would be eliminated from the Playoffs and to get things rolling, wouldn't he have played it out so it looked like he beat Ohio State for Harris? You know, the team that just eliminated them for him to need this little boost.
Plus, no Bama fan on Earth is mad that Yeldon is going pro. Everyone knew he was gone. They don't need "good news," they just got a boatload of recruits on national television and will have the top class in the country coming in...again. Their 5th string running back isn't going to take away the sting of losing in the semis.
If you all can't look at the state of the two programs and reasonably see why a 5 star player would choose Alabama without malice or conspiracy theories, then you're not ready for the level of recruiting this program has risen to and should sit these next few seasons out.
Besides, he hasn't committed or signed anywhere yet. Stop making preemptive excuses to rationalize why we'd lose an elite player to Alabama. It would take a lot more mental gymnastics to explain why he'd choose Kentucky if you're willing to be honest with yourselves.
