Why is over signing bad again? As long as the the following things are true, there are ZERO problems w/ over signing IMHO.
1) Coach doesn't make any promises to these kids about starting.
2) Coach tells them that they have to earn their spot on the team & their scholarship EVERY year.
3) The choice is left up to the kid to commit.
Fact is all 3 of the above are true at Alabama... these kids have a choice, and these kids know what kind of competition they are going up against at the position in which they are competing for. If they wanted to start on day 1, go to Kentucky or Vandy. These kids want to start on a championship caliber team, so they are willing to take the chance at Alabama, and compete w/ other talented players for their position. If these kids do not make it at BAMA, I'm sure they could pick up another scholly at another school... it's not like these kids are kicked into the streets.
You can probably insert LSU, UF, and some other top programs in there as well.. this doesn't just apply to BAMA.
