Here, is an article that points out what Alabama is about and what they are willing to do on the recruiting trail. Schools like LSU and others just need to create a scrapbooking pointing out how Alabama treats recruits and start educating the high school coaches and recruits. Unfortunately, too many recruits will still think it won't happen to them.

Exactly! Even if Saban was dismissing 15-25 players every single year from Bama's team just to make room for new recruits, it wouldn't affect their recruiting because every single elite high school prospect would say "It won't happen to me. I'm better than that."

High school kids are not known for making the best long term life decisions and will always have the invincible attitude.

There is a 10 page thread on the SEC recruiting board that has Bama fans placing the blame on Auburn for not picking up Philon after Saban dropped him. Philon dropped Auburn to go to Bama and now the Bama folks are saying Auburn was wrong for not scooping him up on the rebound.
