Call Coach Saban, he'd be obliged to explain.

That still leaves 10 extra guys
Answer(probably): Pull a bunch of current players scholarships

They don't care about the details. They just want to portray that they are recruiting better than everyone else. Just like last year, they weren't #1 when the guys actually enrolled in school.

Even with all that shite...it still doesn't add up unless you assume that Tuscaloosa police will be arresting every Shula recruit in the next 8 months.

That is why Saban chose Bama. They teach that form of math in Bama schools and he new he needed to beef up his resume'. Plus he can use big words and the gumps will believe.

We shoot the ones we don't measure up. LOL

What did Saban do with them at LSU when he had 2 top classes in row. Wasn't it 2002/2003?

Last year we signed 32 players but only had 23 by the next fall. Quite a bit of attrition goes on. Part of the plan.
