They may or may not turn out that way but the reason he took them had 0 to do with MSU.Quote:

Lashley and Knott are the two latest in a long line of kids who had their futures ruined going to Bama. If you can't get yourself on the field, you can't show yourself to scouts. Period.
Hoping the best for the two in their future. Lashley might be starting for us, and Knott might have started next year for us. Big, big depth if nothing else.
FWIW, Cam Akers is 2nd strang for FSU

Nice. Although 2nd string appears to be 3 guys with Akers being first alphabeticallyQuote:

So we're talking all this about a kid who had raw ability but has never realized any potential...I'm not going to say that he would be starting for us. And I said all of these things during his recruitment.
Wasn't Anthony Steen a "project", too?Quote:

If he thinks a guy has the potential to help him win, he signs em.... and to say Bammer "doesn't develop" players is patently absurd.
Reloading with a ton of five stars every year is not what I call developing players. How is that developing QB machine working out for you guys at Alabama? Please. Saban is an elite coach and elite recruiter but he is not a developer. He wins because he has the number 1 recruiting class every year and his talent is elite. He proved as much when he only went 7-6 his first year and had to get his recruiting machine going to start really winning.Quote:
