Because the culture that is bred there, also helps when past players aren't in their ears tearing locker rooms apart

Because they respect their teammates.

The REC would be taking a guy out if they were acting like Ryan Clark.

Saban. End of story.

And for the record, I don't see kids at Florida, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma, etc, dropping out either.

there is a reason many coaches don't allow just every past player into their program.

Now we are seeing why first hand

Bama is better managed than LSU. Starts at the top.

This is not far from the truth. It's the 14 year culture that Saban has built. They buy-in to the process. I'm sure he has a lot protections against agents as well.

Because none of them are the highest ranked WR in the draft who just won a natty. Did you see Julio Jones junior season at Alabama in 2010? It was pathetic. Once you know your value, a lot of guys play to protect that.

Kary Vincent has potential health concerns with his heart. Neil Farrell’s fanily was hit with it and he’s coming back next year in 2021.

Maybe they have to give the money or car back if they do.

That’s why Tua came back to Alabama right? Lol

They lose their guys at the same rate we do.

I thought OU did have a big time player drop out.

I could be wrong though.

Um they have the top rated running back and it isn't close, also Chase sitting out can hurt that top wr in the draft argument.

Here is the answer that the OP knows but doesn’t want to acknowledge.

Ryan Clark is a Saban plant trying to keep LSU from passing BAMA up. I knew Saban was an evil genius.

Not sure that’s a fair label. O seems to respect leaders on both sides. However, people just see one side and lose their ish.

Some will, just wait a little bit. All top elite players are considering opting out and some will and some won't. For the super elite, I don't blame them one bit because you're risking generational money that could change your life and your family's life for a long, long time. For many, this is the ticket out of the tough life in the projects (hood) to a much better neighborhood with less crime and much better schools. This opportunity won't ever come around again and one injury could destroy that dream!
