re: Orgeron and recruiting

If Coach Orgeron does everything in his power under NCAA recruiting guidelines and Kids like Sopsher and Stingley decide to sign with Alabama, why is that orgeron's fault?

Mainly because the head guy gets the credit good or bad. Miles got the credit for losing Landon Collins and Cam Robinson. He appropriately got the credit for landing LF.

The best thing for LSU and CEO this year might be UGA and Auburn. If a couple teams beat Bama this year and knock them out of the playoffs then Bama does not continue to look so much the lock to get a Natty ring and players will start looking elsewhere. Bama class already dropped to #7 last year and Kirby is kicking Sabans arse at recruiting GA. Bama does not get the lions share of their players from Alabama. They get a lot from GA, Fla, LA, and Miss... If these other teams keep chipping away at Bama's recruiting base then tdecline is real. This is what put Philip Fulmer out of business at UT when Saban went to LSU, Spurrier and Meyer at UF, and Richt at UGA.
