Lol. Bama was lucky to escape not once, not twice, but 3 times from Les Miles. And that's with bama having more talent on paper.

there is no point besides some stupid moral victory bullshite. we are talking about different people here and OP is acting like everyone in college pans out on the same upward track.

fournette was going first round no matter where he went. hell, if he goes to bama, he probably has a heisman trophy and a national champ ring to go along with his new contract.

cam robinson could have come here and still be left on the draft board as we speak.

He probably would have played center and pocic would have to stick at guard

first of all. They're kids when they make these decisions. All they see are the gifts they get from bama in the short term. Kids are ignorant; they don't think long term.

Should we add drafts since the turn of the century?

Tyson Jackson's $31,000,000
Glenn Dorsey's $51,000,000
Laron Landry $41,500,000
Buster Davis $11,000,000
Marcus spears $19,200,000
Michael Clayton -- couldnt find his with a quick search so I'm leaving him out. Add his to the following number.

La players who stayed home $241,931,724
La players who chose Bama. $0



Quarter of a BILLION dollars. The OP number is more relevant, so I'll leave that one there.

You're retarded, or know nothing about business and sales.

Alabama uses the "business decision" line to take recruits out of Louisiana. This blows up that effective sales pitch, and argues in our favor. This is about recruiting and sales, not moral victory.

Well he also carries guns while smoking weed in a parked car in public, AND he has also been known to be a traitor to his high school, his home state team, and his home state. Like I said last year and LLeo copied me, if ISIS had a football team he would join them.

I posted this in another thread, but you're assuming that their business decision failed because they didn't make it into the first round.

Who's to say that Cam Robinson wouldn't have been a third round talent out of LSU, thereby making his decision to go to Alabama a sound business decision?

They take talent out of Louisiana because they win championships, thats a pretty good sales pitch.

Yep, but it isn't part of the "business decision" pitch, which is what some of you have a difficult time grasping apparently.

Wrong. LF would have been behind Henry on the Bama depth chart and, all things being equal, would have been on the sideline with an ankle injury in 2016.

Wrong. Cam has to overcome the reputation of being an Saban "system player". Being around all of those elite recruits at Bama made him lazy; at LSU he would have developed better work habits.

Have you ever done any sales whatsoever, or are you just being a prick like you do on the poli board?
