Remember Saban's pitch to Lane: retain Louisiana talent. The dude just fricking got here. Ima let him cook awhile.


How long do you think he should cook? Because right now 3 of the top 5 players in LA are committed elsewhere. As it stands, Lane's first two HS signing classes are on pace to have the fewest LA recruits in a 2 year cycle.

People in here keep bringing up Cignetti and how he brought a bunch of kids from something called JMU into the Big 10. Like this JMU is some bastion of excellence in college football lol.

The point is they had a ton of continuity between the transitions. Add to the fact that they played 2 ranked teams in the regular season for 2024/2025 combined it allows for a much easier transition. LSU for example played 8 such games. 8 vs 2.

We can’t afford to lose rare 5* IOL like Semien AND 5* WR Royal AND a 5* QB like Haven … and maybe even a 5* TE like Hudson and expect to build true long-term depth and power.

Say all you want about the portal, which I like, but teams like UGA and Bama are still rebuilding via recruiting.

I hope you are all enjoying this new age of the NIL/Portal and Dem leadership. It’s only going to get crazier.
