Your missing the forest for the trees here. Saban absolutely does know talent, and he has always been able to stack it up every year. The recruiting services don't just look at one another and say; "Hey guys! Who is Saban recruiting? That is who we need to give our highest ratings to!" The recruiting services have camps, go to games, watch film, ect to determine who the best players are. They don't just sit around and rely on coaches.

People also seem to forget Saban wasn't always SABAN.

He stepped into LSU after being a ho-hum Spartans HC and all he did was land top 4 classes in 3 of his 4 full classes there.

Then he came to Bama after flopping in the NFL. By then he had a bit more respect on his name after his LSU days, but still a far far cry from now. And what did he do? Took Bama from recruiting 12th-23rd and immediately lands #3, #3, #4, #1 classes.

He got the best talent...the classes didn't simply appear that way to appease some mediocre Michigan St coach lol.

This is the code. I use mobile app and the app is called “Premiere League: Official App”. In the app there is a fantasy tab and you just have to go make a team first and then you go to “Join Leagues” and enter the code.

I am in, thank you. For some reason, I ended up picking a lot of Liverpool players, LOL

I was just talking to someone about this, they wanted to try shrooms and wanted my advice. Its all about having a plan. Where you do it, who you do it with and your frame of mind when you do it all matter a great deal. Ive pretty much always had a great trip but Ive always been in nature with good peeps. Its been about a year since I did it and probably 8 years since I went deep but I still feel shrooms are the bestest of drugs. 100% from the earth meant to open the third eye.

100% all of this. It's also critical imo to take a little at a time and feel it out. The "bad trip" folks usually take their whole amount all at once, often too much to begin with anyway.

The little bit at a time is the most important part. But idk, if I can tell the person is real type A neurotic like I will strongly discourage them from taking anything.

#5 Clemson vs #21 Wake Forest if you go by SI's preseason top 25.

Have seen Wake as high as 11th in some poll

Glad to see the likes of Wake and Utah up in the rankings. Keep feeding some parity. But screw Clemson...hope Wake skulldrags and embarrasses them.

Yep. Our goal should be in the top 25 in recruiting. All the teams above us are wrong on their evaluations. Right

Nope our goal is to sign the best possible players we can based on our evaluations RECOGNIZING we do not get pick and choice. On field production by each class show us that star rankings are PROJECTED potential at the next level but the draft results show us mixed results. On top of that we are probably pursuing MOST of the 5 star pool but only a very limited subset of the 4 star pool not all 3-4 hundred and a tiny fraction of the lower pools based on our evals and perception of being in play.

We and NONE of the teams we are trying to catch are dealing with the masses of kids who are GOOD HS players with a pulse and get a low star ranking each year. So analytics based on that data is useless no matter how many decimal points you calculate to.

Signing day establishes projections, performance measures their accuracy 3-4 years later in the draft.

I.e. I think several of our current FR class may be MISSES by the various services. Harrison, Joseph, White and Sampson lead the way for me this year. Yes I think they have high potential to out perform lots of higher ranked players per the services and HOPEFULLY some on the teams we are chasing in conference. Time will tell. The guys we went all in for and lost to upper tier or proximity peers is real life and we have to backfill with other targets or sit back and hope for some portal opportunities to add to each class.

Success analytics cannot be performed before each class gets there shot.

Ayahuasca. Same thing Ron White said helped him.

Also admitted to taking mushrooms. Oddly, also same as Ron White who microdoses for mental health purposes.

Ketamine is becoming a popular thing as well for such things.

Brave new world out there.

I think there is also research ongoing for using these things for soldiers suffering with PTSD.

Very good


Hmm thought he could be like a Josh Smith or Zach Rogers. Dependable, someone for the QB to find on third downs. But maybe I'm a racist and all white people look the same to me.

I am consulting my "Am I Offended Flow Chart" right now.... please stand by for possible outrage.
