I laugh when I see the cheating accusations. If Bama was cheating I guess all of the other schools, players, coaches, administrators are just allowing Bama to get away with it also without any protest. If they were cheating it would have surfaced by now.

It's about their ability to stretch the rules moreso than others. They get more leniency with over signing and are able to hand out wrist-slap internal punishments when players break rules that usually lend to the NCAA saying "good enough" and looking the other way. They also cheat, but so does every other major program which is why no one reports them, stones and glass houes and whatnot.

What rock are you living under?

Everyone cheats. Some more than others.

I can agree with the rules part but that isn't cheating. They have to use the same numbers in signing as everyone else. Tn signed 30 a few years ago. Can you cite an example of leniency they get that others don't?

If you look at some of their discipline, they'll suspend players for one quarter or one half for something that other teams will get larger suspensions for when handed down by the NCAA or SEC. It happens for all huge programs and if UT had been a dynasty they probably would get more leniency as well, but that doesn't mean it's a good practice. However, conferences and league want their best players playing to create the best product on the field, consistency be damned. It happened for Nebraska in the 90s and Miami in the early 2000s and it's a process that hurts the competitiveness of CFB as a whole.

And as for UT signing 30, a few years ago there were not as many regulations to prevent oversigning. Hell bama took 29 just two classes ago. The point of trying to limit classes to a hard 25 is to reduce this spurt of transfers that has emerged in CFB (look at that 30 player class or UT and see how many ended up transferring). Too many players end up log jammed at big programs because there is just not enough playing time to go around and you have players that would have been tearing it up somewhere else either barely playing or not playing at all that then have so sit out a year to go somewhere with a better opportunity. The NCAA as a whole is better with guys like Rondale Moore at Purdue helping to create the any given Saturday atmosphere that makes CFB entertaining.

Hunch....and I’m not saying Bama will stop recruiting him, I just think we come across a little more needy down the stretch. Multiple coaches calling, multiple west coast visits etc...

Why did we needy lose all those other good recruits. Being more needy didn't help our situation in those cases......:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Or, go play at a top notch program, with great coaches and players surrounding you where you are developed to your full potential, play for sec and national championships....and have the very best opportunity to play in the nfl.

Of course, you can take the other route, where’s it’s gonna be a constant uphill struggle to get to a Bowl game at a school who virtually never has any players get drafted these days.

Which one sounds more appealing to an 18 year old? Choice is up to you.

That didn't cite an example. They have player suspended right now. I don't know what regulations have changed other than the early signing period and it's the same for everyone The numbers are the same for every team. They get no more leniency on signing players than Tn or anyone else.

How many can Bama actually sign? They have 24 LOI and then a commit who just committed yesterday in Bogel. They have three other commits who didnt sign during the early period which if they accept all of them that's 28.

Just looking at depth charts I don't understand kids wanting to go sit somewhere and then probably getting recruited over when the team over signs. We OLB the depth chart doesnt make sense at Bama.
