He very well could. I know Saban has been known to do this before. He did it with my friend's son.Quote:

I think they have been in the game long enough to know what their needs are for our team and how to manage the roster as they see fit, instead of a bunch of internet heroes that spend all day looking at croot porn.
Just let this play out and be thankful for what we have.... Big news, we're not Bama, GA, AU, LSU, and have our own difficulties. We're not Po' Ol Tate anymore, but it's a lot different to get a kid to come to Starkvegas than it is to Tuscaloosa. At least this staff is NOT the previous administration and probably will go about it differently altogether.
Quit melting, guys.....
No. (Sorry tusk)Quote:

Please go spend your time somewhere else if you are not interested in how our current recruiting is going. Second, JoMo and staff have only been on the job less than 2 months so I really don't know at this point what they have figured out with regards to recruiting in the South and what our needs are and what they don't. Third, can we PLEASE retire the word melt or melting? If I read that in one more post I am going to literally throw up. Sometimes I think we have more sunshine pumpers on this board than Genespage ever had.Quote:

Oh, I care, I just think it’s ridiculous that some of you think you know more than our coaching staff, and think they have no clue of what they are doing. I’ve followed this thread from the beginning, as well as nearly every thread on here. I’m just saying I’ll be glad when the next couple of days are over with so you guys can start freaking out about the 19 class.Quote:

With Young being back up plan if any last minute fallouts . And we still might take him. Numbers depending
This would be a fine finish. Thanks for your info this cycle Ari.Quote:

They will be forever be compared to each other.Quote:

Probably mid teens. That is a great job in a transition class where the previous coach is basically sabotaging you with recruits. My guess they finish between 16-20, which will be solid considering the circumstances.Quote:

UT has never had a recruiting problem - IYOK is right there. I just thought they would take a hit during a transition class. They may be just fine.
Yeah Butch always brought in top classes, they didn't lose from a lack of talent, they lost cause he sucked as a coach.Quote:

Unless Saban responds by getting recruits that otherwise would have signed with us.Quote:

Compare their speeches at their introductory press conferences and you will figure out which coach you would rather have.Quote:
