In the last 10 years, only ONE player has been drafted (Lacy). I find that interesting. I know there are a lot of factors at play, but…..hmmm. That won't change this year, as Bell will not be drafted. We'll see how it plays out with Collins, Devall, etc.

I just looked at Scouts for 2014. Alabama has as many Louisiana commits as Alabama commits, four. We have no Alabama commits. Why is Saban so strong in Monroe?

That's a phony baloney justification. The real reason is Saban has managed to get some handlers in place in NE LA. Now that his tactic has been exposed, I expect the pipeline will dry up.

Alabama currently has just as many commitments from Louisiana as they do from Alabama - 4. All the Louisiana guys are from north LA.

Bama's coach will be leaving if the Texas job opens up----nothing personal, just business.

Someone posted yesterday each teams recruiting budgets and I was shocked at how little $$ we allow for recruiting. Even Vanderbilt spends more on recruiting than we do. Recruiting is too important part of the game to not increase the budget

Saban, perhaps with the inadvertent help of the media and some fans, has created an impression that does not match reality. LSU has more players in the NFL than Bama. LSU also has more DBs in the NFL and they are performing better. The fact that this is true when Saban typically has better rated recruiting classes tends to indicate to me that development is actually better at LSU.

Despite this, there appears to be a perception among some of the Louisiana recruits that going to Bama is somehow going to help them get into the NFL or get there faster. History does not show this to be true but they seem to believe it anyway.

Collins would be a 1st rounder if he went to wake Forrest or southern.

Deval will be at least top 3 rounds.

Hootie&cam? No coment.

Thats because until Landon, he had been getting the second strong LA recruits.

Kenny Bell was our second choice to Rueben. We didn't offer Eddie Lacy because he probably can't read.

They are tricked into going to Bama as a "business decision" with gimmicks and shallow promises.
