With foster flipping/committing to bama, I was wondering, what is the recent (Saban era) track record between the 2 schools in landing top recruits. Specifically I am talking about recruits that are down to Aub/bama as their only choices left.

TIA

Haven't gone head to head on as many recruits as one might think, but I think we have only gotten 2. One has been a huge bust and the other got cancer. Bama has owned the head to head battles.

Impossible to tell, because every time a commit is about to pull the trigger for auburn, "we didn't have room for him"...and every time a commit is about to go to Bama, they "cooled on him".

Remarkable coincidence.

If you are talking the top instate recruits (like top 5 each year), Saban (bama boosters) has/have been kicking our arse.

It has been more even with guys rated 6-12 instate, but as far as the 1-5 instate guys that have been down to AU or Bama, Shon Coleman is the only one I can think of that AU got.

I think I read a tweet earlier that said Alabama is poised to grab the top five in-state recruits.

CK's recruitment was pretty entertaining.
