They probably didn't know. Hell, Isaiah Prince spent two days in Columbus, Ohio, and they didn't know.

I heard he was using his raccoon tail to fly there. Not a big enough priority for the change worlds music box.



He's gonna roll up and his HC is gonna be like:

Lupoi is setting sail to see the 2 Ces on Tuesday.

This is hilarious, Mag. Well done. I love that the screen grab is the one that says "our Prince is in another castle".

We need a solid LT in this class. If Prince isn't in, then I would obviously prefer Richmond to Chidi given his grade concerns (though he is going to be very good once he gets in school somewhere).

I'm kinda excited about the possibility of Godwin (small) and CeCee (small). Might have some excitement on NSD afterall.

I think he's a really good coach, I'm having trouble shaking Chicago. But as I'm sitting here thinking about him, I'm leaning toward "This is a damn good hire".

The one thing about his time in Chicago that I keep reminding myself of is that the talent he had to work with up there was shite.

As a fan of the New Orleans Saints that's saying something when you can say another team's defense is worse than yours.

Besides, Tucker's defense never gave up 70 in a game.

College football teams are putting the final touches on their 2015 recruiting classes, hoping that, in four years, the group they put together will make the 2019 version of this list.

The 10 groups that follow are the best recruiting classes of the decade, dating back to 2005. They only counted classes with completed four-year cycles—i.e., whose true seniors played have played their final games—so they were chosen only from a six-year stretch. The 2012, 2013 and 2014 classes are still writing the brunt of their legacies.

Narrowing down and ranking the list took several factors into account. First was how the team performed in the four years after signing day, even if a few players stayed longer or shorter. And next was the personal achievements of the individual players.

For personal achievements, where they were selected in the NFL draft was considered, since that is largely a product of college performance. How they have performed since arriving in the NFL was not considered, since that has little to do with college performance.

Yeah, the talent thing is a great point.


I officially love this hire now.

1. Alabama, 2008

Key Players
•DB Mark Barron
•DT Terrence Cody
•DT Marcel Dareus
•LB Don'ta Hightower
•RB Mark Ingram
•OC Barrett Jones
•WR Julio Jones
•LB Courtney Upshaw

Honors and Awards
•2 BCS National Championships (2010, 2012)
•2 SEC Championships (2009, 2012)
•2008 SEC Freshman of the Year (J. Jones)
•2009 Heisman Trophy (Ingram)
•2009 SEC Offensive Player of the Year (Ingram)
•2011 Outland Trophy (B. Jones)



Nick Saban signed this monster on the heels of a 7-6 season, springboarding Alabama's modern dynasty. Mark Ingram won a Heisman Trophy, Barrett Jones is one of the most decorated interior linemen in college football history, Don'ta Hightower was a consensus All-American, and Mark Barron, Marcel Dareus and Julio Jones all became Top 10 NFL draft picks.

"I guess that class is the one that's closest to my heart," Saban told Michael Casagrande of AL.com, "because those guys bought in when they just believed that we were going to be able to be successful and they could make a great contribution to helping us."

The impact of this group can still be felt.


I guess they don't realize that Barrett Jones won 3 BCS titles too.
