I'm guessing Bama lock?

My question is why pretty much all of Alabama's top players have been going to Bama the last few years and not more to Auburn. All Auburn does is beat Bama every year.

BTW, McClain, J Harris, Nico Johnson and Tana Patrick is a pretty sick stretch of LB's out of one state, I wish LA would put out some big time LB's like this.

Any chance Nico or Tana go to Auburn?

Nico is pure bama lock. They paid him early, I meant recruited him early.

Tana is the one that is 50/50 Auburn Bama right now.

I don't have any stats to back me up, but I'm guessing Auburn has been much better at recruiting out of state than Bama is. Maybe an Aubbie fan can give us some numbers.

Tubbs never seems to pull a top 5-type class, but he must be outstanding at identifying below-the-radar players and then developing them. Just guessing, but I'm betting AU puts as many or more kids in the pros as the schools with consistently higher rated recruits.

Do wish Tubbs would start taking his share of top-rated AL recruits, just to slow Saban down.
