They have a great video on Yahoo homepage. Poor kid with his head on the table and a Bama hat.


This photo needs to be captioned with "It's Part of the Process" and plastered everywhere.

Bottom line Saban is a lying douche. Always has been. Anyone that thinks he cares about ANYTHING but himself is fricking STUPID!!!

Can we get a picture of Saban holding up the crystal ball right next to Philon with his head on the table please? Seriously. I don't know how to do stuff like that. Would love it.

I really don't understand how this shite doesn't catch up to Saban in recruiting at this point. He clearly doesn't give a shite about anyone and will dump you at any point of his choosing.

it's part of his process and success

if you can't compete to win, you won't make it. then he'll just replace you with another stud recruit who has to compete to win

so a kid has to go to another top tier program to get a free education and a chance to play SEC football.

OK, I may take some heat for this, and I'm not defending Saban, but didn't Alabama hire him to win NC's? I think many of you are blinded by your hatred of him, but he wouldn't do this if the powers that be at Alabama weren't OK with it. They took 7 Alabama recruits - that's SEVEN. They're not beholden to Alabama kids anymore.

They (meaning the UA university, boosters, most fans) are not worried about hurting some kid's feelings who was a lifelong Bama fan. Winning is more important than anything, and the stakes rise every year. As long as it doesn't get them in NCAA trouble, anything is fair game.

It's probably not just Bama. With recruits pulling stunts on NSD, this is a response to this. Don't trust me, and I won't trust you. In Bama's eyes, the recruit they picked up over the one they dumped may be the one that helps them win another NC.

This is getting deep, but it's indicative of a lot of dynasties. Ancient Greece, Rome, the British Empire, Germany in WW2, etc. The pressure to continue victory causes a mindset where anything goes to continue to dominate. Then all of a sudden, everything comes crashing down. It's simply not sustainable. I'm sure Bama fans will disagree with me, but this day will come when Saban retires.

LSU fans can tell you all about Satan... I mean Saban. He is all about Nicky baby.. LSU wins a NC and suddenly he is the King of the NFL. Then he stunk the place up in Miami because grown men don't put up with the . @
%$*#() that he pulls over on kids.

Leslie... crazy and all is genuinely concerned for the student athlete. He has moments of insanity but the guy's integrity is without question. His decisions we could debate all day but his integrity is solid!
Nicholas is .... well.... He is truly about NUMBER ONE!!! and I am not talking about a National Championship rank!

Duh, read my other posts. I am entirely supportive of LSU, moreso than 95% of all posters here.

I was just trying to explain the Alabama mindset, and why Saban does what he does. I don't like the guy any more than you. But he is not accountable to us, he is to Bama, and if everyone in Bama thinks this kind of behavior is OK, then he basically gets a green light to do this kind of less than moral behavior.

This is what happens when the football world is filled with Sabans, Kiffins and Meyers. Win at all costs....

Storm Johnson had a legitimate offer from Miles. Who should Storm send a copy of his scholarship offer from LSU to?

So much so that he has one back up lineman on his team -- a lineman he drafted at the end of the last round of the draft. Yeah, he really thinks a lot of Saban's players.


belichick never gets to draft high enough to sign some of satans players

Everyone here is aware that Les has pulled scholarships before right?

Elliot Porter?

Nvm.

Saban is a huge douche about it, and does it way more than anyone else, but this is a college football problem, not a Bama problem exclusively.

Until coaches are forced to only hand out 25 offer letters, this story will keep popping up.
