Depends on how many of our targets commit to us. We got burned a little bit on that Toles guy. I suspect our staff won't do the two birds in the bush thing again this year.Quote:

Did they give a reason for that stupid assumption?Quote:

They didn?t really beyond all of them that have committed except two are still taking visits and most out of state kids that commit to us don?t really want to come to State we are fall back plans. Both Hadad and Faulk said this. We have an odd fan base and even odder media coverage.Quote:

Another example of a MS kid not panning out at Alabama. For every Raekwon Davis that pans out, I can show you 3-4 Kadarrius Calloway's, Nigel Knott's, Scott Lashley's that don't. Someone needs to show Jaheim Oatis.
It should help us with Oatis. Hard to see how it won'tQuote:

Plus you have to tell them if they commit to us they are to expect an immediate drop in their rating, because the recruiting outfits love to troll our fanbase, just like the media.Quote:

We finish where they want us to finish in the rankings. That's what it's come to.Quote:
