re: Number 1 Recruiting Class every year

Any one of us could coach a team that has 5 stars 2 deep at every position and win out every year. Saban has ruined the game of college football with his recruiting. In the NFL he couldn’t cherry pick players so he was an abysmal failure. He’s not a great coach, the NFL proved that.

That had to be one of the most asinine and clueless post's Ive ever read on here. You are seriously just tossing up your shoulders and saying "mehhh, all that success is due to HGH and steroids." That's the secret boys! We need to get ahold of this frickin magic elixir!!!!

To even sit there and suggest that our players, along with every single other college football program in the FBS, doesn't have a roster FULL of players that are juicing is laughable. It's a part of the sport. Bama does not have an "edge" in this. It's a level playing field in that sense. Saying Bama buys players, well there's some substance there, (another newsflash genius, every fricking program does, including our beloved Tigers. And if they arent, well they fricking should be), saying Bama gets breaks from the SEC and always gets the benefit of the doubt in any situation; well yes, that's evident. There are plenty of things to bitch out when it comes to why Bama is sitting on another mountain top overlooking college football as a whole over the last decade, but IT'S NOT because of fricking HGH when every program is doing it.

They then go through heavy steroid cycles during bye weeks and before playoffs.

"yea, let's run that "one week" cycle of TREN. We have a bye week here, I think we can "juice these players up" and get them really hyped for the big showdown next week!" Yea, that's not how hormone manipulation works.

What you are seeing on the field is slightly superior talent as well as vastly superior high end talent depth in the trenches. That is and always will be the difference with not just us, but Bama and the rest of college football. That's why Clemson has been able to play with them and beat them recently, they are the only other team with insane talent/depth in the trenches at the present time. Alabama wins because they recruit and because Nick Saban is great at what he does.

But we need more 3 stars because we can develop them in the long run especially in the OL and at RB

Exactly. And they have heart and a want to be tigers...

Mix that in with not being afraid to go all in on recruiting Louisiana.

Meanwhile, we’re still trying to figure out the source of our problem(s). This is who we are friends.

They may have had the same offense but they had a different offensive game plan on 1/9/12 than they had in the 9 to 6 game.

Have you rewatched either game?

No they didn’t.

What? ‘Not afraid to go all in on recruiting in Louisiana?’ Ha, Ha!!! Saban was /has been able to use his contacts and relationships with high school coaches, etc. he cultivated while he was at LSU.

No doubt and E gave Giles #7 based on his offseason evaluation ……….
