We have players from Alabama. Not sure why this is such a big deal. Interstate goes both ways.

I think it has to do with the disparity in the quality of the players we're getting from Alabama vs the players they're getting from Louisiana.

Both teams have gotten guys the other team has passed on, or not made huge priorities. I don't think anyone is getting too worked up over guys like Eddie Smith, Slade Bolden (not rational people anyway), or to a lesser extent, Kenny Bell, Shyheim Carter & Tim Williams (other than well after the fact).

People get worked up over the head to head battles with elite Louisiana prospects. I'm sure there have been others, but Kennedy, this year, is really the only elite level Alabama recruit that they really wanted and we made them sweat about.
