re: Saban to Penn State not as crazy as it seems (long)

To be fair, Nick Saban is a big part of why Alabama has landed all of those top five classes. That being said, Mike Dubose did it too. The state of Alabama alone doesn't produce what Louisiana or Georgia does, and certainly not Texas, California, or Florida. However, the 500 mile radius around Tuscaloosa encompasses some impressive talent to recruit from for any coach at Alabama.
