re: Class of 2017 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: Say Your Goodbyes Edition

Someone posted on BOL asking if PMathis committed so who knows

Truthfully, our staff is to blame on Prince and KJ Hill. Cristobal begged Saban to take Prince's commitment earlier (maybe Saban was right after all.. .. we'll see after we see how Prince develops) in the process, but Saban was slow playing him until he saw what Drew Richmond would do. Cristobal rated Prince higher than Richmond, but Saban wanted to make a point to OM and sign Richmond (who utk outbid them for anyway). Everybody knew we wouldn't sign Richmond, and by the time we went after Prince, he figured out what was going on and was offended. We also slow-played the heck out of Hill. To Urban's credit, though, he's a very good closer and may have gone there either way.

Really

It'll be interesting to see if Ped State can capitalize on that win and begin to turn their program around. Can they begin to sign top 10 classes? They haven't had a good QB that I remember since Kerry Collins, or really a good offense since that 1994 team.

Anybody know what/who Garcia of Scout is talking about?
