re: Good to no longer be recruiting against Saban in Louisiana

When Saban was building Alabama he was given carte blanch to outbid everyone for whoever he wanted. When others would hesitate out of fear of the NCAA or being reported, Saban went full bore, confident his buddy Mark wouldn’t do anything (and he was correct, he didn’t).
The last 5 or so years pre-NIL, Alabama could “afford” to underbid for a kid for the opportunity to play for Saban and Alabama. A kid offered (for example) $250k might take $200K + Nick Saban.
Those days are gone. Now when a kid is offered $250k, unless Alabama is coming with $300k or more, Tuscalossa won’t be a destination spot.
