reality sets in when the numbers are actually added up...this is such a bunch of bs...does this not piss off people around the country...why is bama not exposed for what they are doing?

You mean signing 30 when you only have like EIGHT scholarships is over signing???
Saban is playing games right now. Doing things this way will come back to bite them in the arse.

Don't sweat it. Rivals loves Bama. LSU is #1 on ESPN who hates us. I think LSU's avg star ranking is higher. Beat their arse on the field.

Bear Bryant finds ways to make it work. He pulls the rabbit out the hat.

Maybe I am not being clear but this is a huge advantage to someone like saban....he oversigns a ton of talent and then picks whatever he wants...this is a clear advantage over signing the alloted number...

Haha he might be able to get away with it for this year, but next year it will catch up to him... Its not like its going to matter because he is going to leave for another team, so it wont be his problem any more! I guess he likes getting recruits to commit, and then when a bigger, faster one comes along, dumps them like its nothing.

this will come back to get him in the end...did he do this here??? did he oversign like this?

I don't find it particularly clear, how is signing kids that won't qualify or you can't give scholarships to even a small advantage to the program?

when is the last time Ole Miss had zero LA signees?
Posted on 2/4/09 at 8:53 pm to CarrolltonTiger
let me try to clarify...by doing this oversigning crap, bama is coming up with the number one class each year even though we all know it is NOT...but he gets the press for it and it and that is a huge advantage...no one talks about the class they bring on recruiting day and then announcers on cbs continue it throughout all the season...bama signs number one class, saban is great blah blah..
Posted on 2/4/09 at 8:53 pm to CarrolltonTiger
Because he can go into recruit's houses and say he's taken in the top recruiting class the past 2 years...when he really has not. Atleast I think that's the beef here.

Who really cares, IF this is about oversigning lets talk about Nutt, who kicked our asses a hell of alot worse than Nick AND signed thrityfreakinseven today....talk about a freak show.
For some reason folks are not threatened by Nutt but are freaked about Saban.
But the beauty of it is this, we get to take our best against their best and see what happens every damn year. So to hell with numbers, stars, etc. Lets just hope our coaches coach em up and let er rip this year.

He is signing highly rated players that he knows won't qualify. This boosts recruiting rankings and gives a false sense of what their class actually looks like.
Posted on 2/4/09 at 8:57 pm to Tigerark
yes exactly and he knows that the media will use this all year long...it generates momentum and gives a sense of credibility...this momentum is what kids hear about and it is based on this signing huge classes and then cherry picking the ones who make it

How long does it take for this to catch up to them. If you over sign classes some kids is gonna get screwed! All signees and their parents aren't stupid. If the numbers keep not adding up year after year somethings gotta give.
