Yes. There is people who just so happen to 'Interact' and know coaches who relay this type of info. In fact, BigEd may be referring to the same person I KNOW! A person I BALLED WITH! I'm not going to even begin with the LSU players (past and present and 1 coach who is on the present staff) I know who tell me about how their recruitment went. All I have to say is stay in your fricken cardboard box and post away like you always do and maybe you might one day see the reality in recruiting as it is now and not back in your dinosaur days! So called H-town Tiger...who have not seen Tiger Stadium (maybe on tv) nor been in it.

sorry if I wasn't clear with that, I really don't know if he wants to play LB in college, just that you have said he wants to in HS.

I'll ask again, what is this reality? That's its "dirty", hanlders try and steer kids to certain schools? No shite, what earth shattering revelation do you think you are prive to? Oh, I'd argue if anything it was much dirtier in the past.
I don't question BigEds story, just what he things it means. And DeLarge has pretty much explained it. Perhaps you were too busy "balling" to notice that pretty much whenever a new coach (of any person in authority really)that takes a new job they want people they know and trust around them.

I still don't know what these guyst think they "know"?
Even if you think Saban is secretly orchestrating the coaching hires at a top La HS so his cronie can steer guys to Alabama, so what? And better question why? Looking back at this thread over the last 10 years or so, they only 5* guy mentioned is Chad Jones. Bama had no interest in Mathieu because of his size. What exactly are they going to get if they shift the St Aug pipeline? Bama can still only get 25 and 85. They have tons of talent in their own state, lots of guys that grew up Bama fans. Plus Ga, Fla, SC, Ms. Bama's gonna go after top guys across at the very least the South/Mid Atlantic. Plenty of other guys out there.
I'd love to see Fournette at LSU, but if he doesn't, its not going to break LSU or make Alabama.

Can anyone confirm Fournette to Alabama yet?

Nick Saban would have no interest in having someone who may potentially try to steer recruits his way at a 5A high school in NOLA, is what you're saying? I'm pretty sure Saban would be fricking giddy if he could get a BBQ buddy as a HC at a very good NOLA football program.

Hell, the school was shut down for a few years, not to mention, some kids moved out of state after the hurrince, but if you don't think St Aug has talented football players, you're dumb.

Not exactly, but it depends on what you mean by interest. He's the head coach at the top program in college football, he recuits all over the south and mid atlantic. He's won 3 BCS CG, coached in the NFL, sent numerous guys to the NFL, he doesn't need to have a cronie somewhere to get recruits. Assuming him and Crutch are friends I'm willing to bet he would write a letter of recomendation for Cruth even if he was interviewing for a job at some 1A school with no D1 prospects.
quote:

That's not what I said you Tool. Austin and Turner are talented. They are also a 3 and 4 star OL prospect. Its not like Alabama can't get 3 and 4 star OLman, their State and Ga are crawling with with those level of prospects.
TM7 is talent, but Bama didn't like him because of his size.
Fournette maybe an elite prospect, but there are also a couple of other big time 2014 RB rcruits with interest in Bama. And if he wants to move Fournette to LB, that's not gonna some how put Bama over the top.
St Aug produes a lot of talent, but there are other schools in La and other states that produce as much or more.

As I argued earlier, St. Aug is right up there with West Monroe, Breaux Bridge. People would be flipping their shite if a "friend" of NS was hired at one of those schools. It's the equivalent of LM recommending a guy to coach at Prattville.
For as much as people overplay the situation, you underplay it. Makes you just as big a goob as the people you are continuously trying to call out.

He doenst HAVE TO, but it would make it easier to have someone that he has a good relationship with, who's stepson plays for Saban, on staff as a HC at a good football school. Not to mention in a city that is filled with great football talent, that the flagship school, LSU, has historically had problems recruting.
quote:

Absolutely he would. Why the hell wouldnt he? Crutch and Saban have a relationship, why wouldnt Saban do everything to keep it? It's business. Saban is a businessman. He does what it takes to better his situation just like most people do. Just like lobbying on gameday to help his situation.
quote:

This has nothing to do with anything. If saban can get whomever he wants from those states and that talent pool is so good, why the frick does he come to La?
I'll answer for you. Because he has contacts in La and La produces great talent. One of his contact is Crutch and now Crutch is running the show at a pretty good football school.

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. Its not like Saban told Crutch to go to St. Aug, he cant make St Aug hire him, but what he can do and write a letter of recommendation for someone who's stepson plays for him and I can gaurantee you, they have a good relationship. That does nothing but help Nick Saban.

This should end all arguments in this thread

I'm not trying to downplay the St Aug talent, they may produce the most D1 talent of any HS. But if you look back at the recent talent, its not like we are talking about 15-20 elite, first round guys every 4 years.
quote:

That's because we have a bunch of chicken little, paranoid idiots in our fan base. Do you really think that if Nick Sabans closet friend went to coach at WM that he'd have so much sway that all their best players would go to Bama and none would ever go to LSU? Come on.
And again, I reiterate, Alabama is still subject to the 25/85 rule and the SEC's new oversigning restrictions. Its not like the State of Alabama's devoid of talent. Their primary recruiting base will still be Al, Ga, Fl, Ms, no matter how many of Saban's friends coach at La HS.

What is there to underplay. We have a guy, who depsite attempts to belittle it, has won a state title, so its not unreasonable to say he's a good coach. He's taking over a big time school in NOLA, that has one of the top players for 2014. He may be a huge Saban supporter (as if its somehow unreasonable to think playing for the best coach in CFB is a good thing). What exactly do you all think it means? Do you really think the influence of the HC in HS will completely over ride every other factor in a kid deciding where he wants to go?
Since Saban has been at Alabama, they've had 1 RB win the Heisman and get drafted in the first round another that was a Heisman finalist and probable top 5-10 pick. Yeah, the only reason a 5* RB would go there is because his coach influenced him

If this isn't that big of a deal, why are you writing multiple page-long comments trying to downplay it?

Both true, but he still gets the vast marjority of his talent from Al, Ga and Fla. He complements it with guys from other places, like La. The only La guy he's gotten that LSU really wanted was Collins and after losing him we went out and got Corey Thompson. Yes Collins is rated higher, but then again Kirkpatrick was rated higher than Claiborne. The point being even if we lose out on a couple of guys from St Aug, there will be other guys for us to get that could be just as good.

From what I've read, Frank Wilson and Burns wrote letters or rec for him as well.

I don't doubt that at all. Doesn't he also have a good relationship with JT Curtis? How many guys has he gotten from there since he's been at Bama? Yes, It helps him to some degree, but winning NC and sending guys to the league help him just as much. The point I'm making is its A factor maybe in getting a kid to Bama, but not the factor and its not something LSU can't over come. Its possibe Fournette would go to Bama if the old coach was still there. In others words, RELAX, its not nearly that big of a deal.
