Here's what most of you don't understand....

just for you (but he was so cute)

Thank you so much. That guy was a freak. I think the bottom line he is an Auburn Fan. I could not handle the multiple faces of him.

eric- which players are you talking about that we shouldn't have signed? just curious.

I don't see where I said anything about us not signing the guys we did today. Can you help me out??

Ok you want to get into a debate about recruiting then fine. You think you know what your talking about because it makes sense in your own mind. There is nothing about recruiting that makes sense and if you had ever been through the process you would understand that. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but I have been through it as a player and a father.

I understand that each successive class is directly related to and predicated on the previous class. Every class is a building block that requires some success from the previous classes. We had one good class between two medicore classes within the past three years. Its a fact that an incoming class will not contribute as whole to the success of a team until the third year. This class will be considered somewhere in the middle based on talent.

This football team will be made up of one good class, one decent class and two very medicore classes.


Next years team will be made up of one good class, one decent class, one medicore class and hopefully one very good class.

Of course coaching them "up" if you will is gonna be a huge factor. But if the talent is not there its just not there. We are on the tale end of a bad three year run in recruiting. The numbers, history and logic says we needed a real good class to make up for the deficiencies from the past three.

Why don't you tell that to LSU, Alabama & Florida who have been starting alot of freshmen the past 2 years...Last I checked that theory of yours is totally against their winning logic. If memory serves me right this class will easily surpass last years class with King Fulmer and that was coming off a 10 win season.

Look, Saban's first class at Alabama was not anything special at all.

This is just what happens when there is a coaching change.
