re: In the end, you gotta like Coach Raymond’s chances on closing Surtain Jr.

Same thing that most insiders are saying, "Surtain is really liking Bama more and more." Saban really put the championship bug in his ear during the visit and he already liked Bama before. Read his quotes from the all-star game, as he described being torn and states that Bama has really made up ground. Saban is the best closer in the business and Bama is easily the absolute best program in the business. I have been called a Bama fan for recognizing this, but only a stupid mother fricker that blindly supports coach Coonass could disagree.
