Why would Bama fire Lance Thompson, their best recruiter outside of Saban himself, weeks before NSD?

Because most of the guys he recruited are already enrolled and our class is pretty much full. We only have 2 or 3 spots left.

I am certain the replacement is already in the works.
We desperately needed a shake up in defense. LBs not getting developed to potential. What good is it to get the best recruits if the coaching sucks?

So we have Lance Thompson to thank for this multiple championships while he wasn't even at the school. Thanks for clearing that up.


And Bama fans don't claim that Les Miles won a NC with Saban's players?


Color me shocked that a Bama fan doesn't like their own "logic"

Since he lost Pruitt he hasn't won at the same level

Major blow or the gumps recruiting. He was their primary contact for most of their high profile targets.


Several of his targets are already enrolled.

"..We now have the best recruiting staff in the country. Craig and Thompson will clean up the gulf coast. "

LSU now has the best recruiting staff in the country. Steele and Orgeron will clean up the gulf coast

Yo , Bama54...classic spin , that we at LSU know well and use often - you cant put that over on us, to wit : " If we got him , he great. If we don't got him , he sucks "

All I can say is anyone who watched Alabama play knows changes need to be made. That LB talent is not being developed.
He is a great recruiter....the coaching those great recruits was lacking.
He was told to look else where.

Guy is shady as hell. Tosh has already been investigated at Washington and was long rumored to be paying players at Cal

How many players has Thompson been rumored to buy on behalf of Bama by the AU fan base?

I honestly don't know the answer to that question, but every fan base has spread those rumors about Tosh. This includes Alabama's own fan base when he got one of your defensive back/wide receiver recruits to go to Cal a couple of years ago

That was Keenan Allen's shady uncle. Then his half brother became part of the package deal. Lupoi has been connected to some unfortunate stuff, but he was cleared. But so have Thompson at Tennesee and Orgeron at USC and Ole Miss. It's the product of being a great recruiter I suppose.
