re: Class of 2018 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: So Long Old Friend Edition

Here's the hate.

That's essentially a football version of Affirmative Action. Taking numbers of something just for the sake of having numbers of something. If 8-10 Alabama guys are elite, I'm all for it. If the only top guys in-state wind up being Justyn Ross and Coynis Millet, then I hope we only sign two. It's supposedly a down year nationally overall for elite talent, so maybe we really could sign more in-state if they show out at camp. But give me the formula we've been using of simply signing the best players out there regardless of where they're from. I want to win far more than display Alabama HS football pride.
