According to some of the recruiting "gurus" up here in Knoxville. They are associated with the Vols so I would take it with a grain of salt. They think Sentimore begins a trickle that will turn into a full scale flow in the next 2-3 years.

They are wrong again!

Saban will get those questionable players that we either slow play or don't want. As long as we get the players we want he can have the left overs.

This is an obvious PR campaign aimed at certain recruits in the State of La.

People in Tennessee are scared of Saban. His team beat the shite out of them last year and he also took all the top talent from Tennessee last year. They're just assuming that it's gonna happen here now.

If a pipeline means he will pick up talented players that LSU did not have a scholarship left to offer, then yes, mission accomplished.

We all know Saban is a great recruiter and if Alabama continues to win, he will get a kid or two that LSU wanted. With that said, the days of Warrick Dunn, Travis Minor, Marshall Faulk, Neil Smith, etc...leaving the state should be over.

McKnight left the state, but more oft than not in recent memory, the top players stay in state.

That's kind of like saying "Watch out Saban, LSU now has a pipeline in Alabama because we got a commit from Josh Willford...

They are saying the same thing on Nashville Sports Talk Radio, other than the only southerner, Bill King. The ESPN and Fox radio guys here are from up north.

Wait, I thought Texas A&M had a pipeline into Louisiana? Now Bama is getting one too? What are we going to do?

these "gurus" must have read the ESPN Sentimore article where they say saban stole him.

they should have read the rivals one where sentimore says he was tired of lsu not offering so he went to his second choice school.

yeah, the Knoxville guys just are hoping and praying for a distraction the way there ship is sinking...they just want LSU and Bama out of there state. Maybe we'll take there top WR and FB and it scares them. since there's not a lot to take in that state, if us and Bama hit up what little TENN has to offer, the ship thats sinking will never sail

Saban isn't building anything this year, but he is getting some of this year's overflow just like a lot of other coaches in the nation.

One player doesn't equal a trickle. I guess they are discounting the fact that we got two from that HS last year.

Does Arkansas have a "pipeline" from Destrehan because of Jerico Nelson?
