My comment was not meant for a guy like Goode. Bama is not the only school doing this. There's plenty of other schools that are just as bad and some are even worse.
The point you're making isn't valid.
Every kid that plays for Bama under Saban knows they have to perform to keep their scholarship. They also know Saban doesn't tolerate off the field issues.
He will never get the point. Do you honestly think if he had the choice of dooley or Saban as a head coach which he would want. He seems to know every stat on UA players, now that is just strange.

I really doubt that Saban and Kirby go in to the living rooms of a potential prospects telling them and their families that they will have to compete to hold on to their scholly, I can almost guarantee you that this topic is never brought up. I'm sure the greyshirt and off the field issues are discussed.
With all due respect, I just don't buy it. Many other teams in his own division oversign as well, and even now USCe in the East are starting to oversign. If that really is the case, then any player who gets his scholly pulled due to lack of performance has nobody to blame but himself and his parents.
You'd think it be an easy decision if they told you everything out in front. Go to school A that might pull your scholly or go to school B,C, or D where there's a good chance you will have your scholly as long as you behave off the field.
When Saban sits down with a kid, 9 times out of 10 the first question out of the players mouth is going to be about something they have heard about Bama's high turnover rate.
An elite prospect isn't going to be scared of competition or of half-assing their way out of a scholarship.
Look at Saban's track record of winning games, putting guys in the NFL and his graduation rate.
You do everything you're supposed to, you'll get a degree, win a lot of ball games and have a legitimate shot of playing on Sundays. It's high risk, high reward.
