According to some of the recruiting "gurus" up here in Knoxville. They are associated with the Vols so I would take it with a grain of salt. They think Sentimore begins a trickle that will turn into a full scale flow in the next 2-3 years.

They are wrong again!

Saban will get those questionable players that we either slow play or don't want. As long as we get the players we want he can have the left overs.

This is an obvious PR campaign aimed at certain recruits in the State of La.

Whomever said that is a douche. Miles doesn't want to deal with iffy grades. That is what someone like gerry dinardo did, you see where that got him. End of story.

that is laughable

he might get one or two, and some LSU leftovers but there will never be a pipeline from La to Bama

I dont even understand why this is an issue. If it wasnt Saban at Bama, no one would think that this was an issue or a big deal.

Fulmer has gotten several of LSU leftovers and some pretty good players at that but no one thinks that there will be a La to Tenn pipeline anytime soon.

As long as LSU continues to have success, LSU will continue to get the players it wants from La, simple as that.

People in Tennessee are scared of Saban. His team beat the shite out of them last year and he also took all the top talent from Tennessee last year. They're just assuming that it's gonna happen here now.

If a pipeline means he will pick up talented players that LSU did not have a scholarship left to offer, then yes, mission accomplished.

We all know Saban is a great recruiter and if Alabama continues to win, he will get a kid or two that LSU wanted. With that said, the days of Warrick Dunn, Travis Minor, Marshall Faulk, Neil Smith, etc...leaving the state should be over.

McKnight left the state, but more oft than not in recent memory, the top players stay in state.

The truth of the matter is even though many on this board are enamored with DS and think he is very talented and from LA, the coaches never offered. This claim of a pipeline has no merit. The kid is talented but LSU did not offer, nor did LSU invite him to Junior Day. If DS was offered and Ala. got him I would toy with the notion as having a grain of truth, but the whole pipeline thing is wishful thinking. One player doesnt make a pipeline sorry guys. Now if RR went to Bama then we would have something to be worried over. As of now, LSU has not lost an offered recruit from LA to Saban. DS is just ammo for the flamers

That's kind of like saying "Watch out Saban, LSU now has a pipeline in Alabama because we got a commit from Josh Willford...

They are saying the same thing on Nashville Sports Talk Radio, other than the only southerner, Bill King. The ESPN and Fox radio guys here are from up north.

Wait, I thought Texas A&M had a pipeline into Louisiana? Now Bama is getting one too? What are we going to do?
