re: Class of 2014 Recruiting MEGATHREAD (Posted on 8/5/13 at 1:21 am to RobertStewartisHere)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am tired of taking commits from guys that Rivals/247/ESPN/Scout hadn't wrote a single article about until they committed to us. They never contribute and end up either riding the bench for four years or get hurt. Why take/recruit the Jon Acthisons/Caleb Gulledge/Cole Mazzas/ of the world. Sure we recruit great but seriously every cycle since the 08 cycle we lost momentum by signing day with some really elite prospects who have gone on the dominate college football and grab attention.
If you are going to take an idiot like Caleb Gulledge why not just take Denzel Nkemdiche.
I know its being very picky, but guys like Robert Quinn, Jadaveon Clowney, Robert Nkemdiche, were all certain locks for long stretches of their recruitments to ultimately commit to shite programs.
Don't get me wrong we sign great great talent, but for the most part we still aren't signing the "Award Winners" ie the Clowney's. By now it seems the bluest of the blue chips would be jumping on board but they start choosing absolute shite programs. I would love to land one legitimate recruit while Saban is here that the pundits can't say well "Recruit X that signed with Bumfrick you is better". It was that way with Julio, Mark, Trent, Courtney, now Allen etc.
Maybe Saban doesn't want to land "that guy" but then why does he recruit them only to fall off short?
And before the Saban has a planners start swarming, yes our D's have been above average post 2008 but even with guys like Dareus, and Upshaw on to guys like Dial and Square our Pass rush has been non existant to mediocre. Seriously would not a Robert Quinn, a Jadaveon Clowney, a Robert Nkemdiche had made a big difference?

He is off a little but I think he is just frustrated at the idea that Bama being as elite as it is has not signed that difference maker at pass rush that we have needed. Does anyone here remember that DL at LSU in 2003. That is the best DL I that i have witnessed with Lavalais, Hill and Spears. They got after the QB and didnt need blitzes to get there. I think Devall and Jon Allen may meet that need but even Kirby said last years defense was kind of disappointing and I tend to agree. It was good but not up to the standard that we've come to expect at Bama under Saban. After this many NC in a short period of time some fans will be spoiled and some unrealistic but it would excite the fan base to see an elite pass rusher commit.

2014 has been an interesting class. Top heavy. I think 2015 is going to rival 2013, 2012, and 2008 as my favorites

I think 2014 is more of a class of need whereas 2015 is looking to be more of a class of want.
This cycle, as others have said, we are hitting up OL and CB hard as we will be thin as those positions pretty soon; but we all know the coaches will find room for a LF or DH type player.
I'm not too versed on what our needs will be for the 2015 class as you never know who will/will not be here, maybe someone with more insight than I can chime in on that.

So, Magilla, about your signature. Did you ever post that info that you tweeted back in February here? Have they really been investigating since February and only now just reporting it? If so, I'm shocked it's taken this long to hear about it publicly.
Vaguely.

You have to make a thread about this so we can all laugh together.
Let no one dare question your sources!

That needs to be bumped.

Depends on the deals.
Being that the dealers probably don't have a reason to talk, the NCAA will probably have to have something to hold over them. Unless they were complete morons, the deal should have been done in cash.
Though it looks like they were caught, so they aren't that smart...
And I'm too introverted to make a thread YStar
