Saban is cherry-picking players he does not need out of Louisiana simply because he can. Mathis will likely be a career back-up at Bama based on their recruiting year in and out at that position.

Buggs will be a back-up for two years.

Allen and Moses will not start until they are seniors...and likely not even for Saban, who will retire inside of three years.

I get it. They beat LSU yearly and have for five years. Doesn't make it easier to accept though.

LSU has to beat Bama and it has to start this year to get a reprieve and stop this momentum.

It's the kids fault for not seeing it.

Saban knows that LSU is his main competition in the West. If they are able to recruit with Alabama by landing all Louisiana kids, they'll be tougher to beat.

Recruit Louisiana. Take players from LSU and put them on the bench where they're not the competition

With the exception of Allen..::

I'll take every out of state we got this year to replace the instate loss...

If I had to lose Mathis to get a wilson.....so be it.

Ruggs will be in the rotation heavy this year he might win the starting job. The kid is a monster you are off on Mathis

He's a bench warmer at LSU too.

Marv + shelvin is quite a DT class

This. If these kids are making a "business decision" they need to go back and take a business class first because they are being played by this evil midget and their heads are swelled up too big to even figure it out. Good luck to all of them and enjoy the "process".

It's exactly the same tactic used by Bryant against Cholly Mac. I'm barely old enough to remember, but I remember.

I don't blame the kid. Saban has dominated at Bama most of their lives. It's what they know. The only way to change it is to beat him or for him to retire.

His motive is to show that he can do it and to prevent them from going to LSU!!

Buggs will play but will never start. He likely starts this fall at LSU. He's just one example though.

Who cares what Saban does? He is a good coach and does what he has to do to win. Isn't that the name of the game? He has that whole "hey you want to go to the NFL AND win a national championship? Well then why would you not come to Alabama?"

Its not going to last forever and we will be fine...

They process weak minds so they won't go to LSU. Been Sabans game for years.

Not the issue, and fine can be 8-4 every year.

I'm pointing out LSU has to beat Bama to turn this around...but we cannot beat them when we consistently lose potential starters or depth at LSU to bama.

It's a vicious cycle.

They lose these kids, but gain OOS prospects.
