re: This is why Alabama OL is so much better than LSU's

Wow! What did we do before you got on this site...I mean, the vast football knowledge that you possess is mind-blowing! Where have you been all our lives?

Great football teams are built from the inside out, not the outside in. I am hoping Davis changes our recruiting on the oline to reach more players nationally at that position.

I was part of a team that built a tool that helped college football coaches recruit the country using hudl film and other sources to get their size, which was then reviewed by ex-NFL coaches that gave the players a rating and a review.
The startup failed, unfortunately, but we were able to get a few schools to use the tool, guess what school paid the bills for our startup for the 2 years that we struggled to get anyone else to use it? Saban.
They are the only team that used it every single day. As an LSU fan, the last thing I wanted to do was build a tool that helped BAMA, I was hoping to help LSU (possibly), but they are too stuck on only recruiting Louisiana.
The tool primarily focused on OL, even though it did all HS prospects. The ex-NFL coaches that were the evaluators were OL coaches.
As a last-ditch effort, we emailed all the coaches on the staff at the time (and multiple other schools), and literally offered a "free trial", which gave them access for a week for free to all the data. Fascinating enough we were treated as some spam email by everyone except the team that is #1 in the country in recruiting.

How does one know that it is truly from deer antlers?

This is not surprising at all. Bama has money to burn.

Wow! Why am I not surprised!

I'm not sure the value in making up that story. The startup failed, lost investor's money, and isn't something to brag about. I could share with you a gif that shows the product in use, I've lowered the quality for obvious reasons.

Didn't realize google images cached 1 of the marketing images used, so here is a better view
Update:
Here are the accounts still showing TRIAL and pending because they never logged in to claim them :)

This is a double edge sword. LSU ventured out on that national brand the last year or two and had a hat on everybody's table but in the end 90% of them went elsewhere. Meanwhile back that ranch, CEO was getting roasted for abandoning the LA kids and the fence was starting to slip. Other P5 coaches used it against us in negative recruiting. Major LA HS coaches got tiffed with Ed and he had to rebuild a lot of relationships.

Recruiting is for real for good teams. LSU has always been high in the overall team recruiting but they never recruit OL very well. They don't recruit multiple great OL players maybe just one a year. Alabama recruits 3-4 great OL every year.

We recruit multiple OL players every year, we just don’t get them. Maybe that starts to change with Davis onboard.

So does Arkansas. What gives there?

Coach O's staff probably saw this while recruiting Nuss, Max, Finley, and Walker.

Saban is Daddy. He gets who he wants no matter what it cost.

Can you share some background here? What kind of folks did you have involved in the development and marketing of this app?

The rest of you frickers are idiots. The OP is right and has a valid point.
Anyone who knows anything about football knows it starts and stops in the trenches. If you want to build a consistent program recruit, recruit top tier O linemen.
LSU recruits skill players as well as anyone, but we have fallen short in recruiting offensive linemen.
Upvote OP.
