We don't need to model their recruiting. Bama gets who they want most of the time and when they want them. They swoop in on most any team not named OSU, Mich, FSU, LSU, maybe Clemson and a few select others and they'll get who they want. We ain't like that and in no way could do it. We have to have a different strategy. (And not one like the one OM has been using the last few years either.)

We have actually beaten Bama out for quite a few stud guys on D some. It seems to me with the stud D guys we get, we are on them early with a lot of love, and develop good relationships with them over time. Read Rosey's bones on GP ... always a lot of discussion on defensive stars, rbs, qbs, wrs, etc. Not too much on oline.

That kinda let's you know a little about why some folks are upset in March. That and the fact that Rankin is playing center now in spring practice instead of LT. And we're scrambling just to have enough bodies for our D line to practice against.
