It's not just the recruiting, it's being able to retain those guys every single year. Keeping a guys like Smith and Harris for 4 years is ridiculous. No one else has figured that part out yet.

They moved Harris’ family out to Tuscaloosa from California. Makes it more palatable for Najee to stay when his fam lives there.
Win every battle.

This. Auburn has some eligible leaving to try and make the NFL with like 5th and 6th round grades seemingly every year. Saban is convincing some of these guys to come back with 1st, 2nd, 3rd round grades. It's pretty incredible how these players buy in. Especially with the prevailing thought among these young guys to go get paid at the earliest opportunity. (Not saying that they're wrong, either. I don't blame the one bit.)
And to go back to recruiting, I remember a few years back, they had a top 100 player take a fricking gray shirt and wait a year for a scholarship. I don't remember the kid's name or how his situation panned out, but that kind of shite is just unheard of.

It's not hard, but LSU fans get all giddy when a third year Soph. declares for the draft....Yeah Baby, NFLSU. Meanwhile Alabama keeps most of their monsters for 4 years.
