You would think but it has not hurt us at all due to a couple factors. Bama is recruiting at such a high level its not like any team, let alone AU, is touching them anytime soon. LSU and AU rarely are in recruiting battles. This definitely needs to be addressed and I think having Steele on staff will help within NFL circles (although I htink he is an overall meh DC). It will hurt us in recruiting battles with UGA first and foremost. Truly amazing that every year we have 1 or 2 late first round locks that end up sliding to late 2nd/3rd. That tells me the NFL doesn't trust the development.

No, It's not like its been 15 years since a first rounder has come from AU. Recently, however it seems like the "benefit of the doubt" factor has not been with AU prospects. I think its a direct shot at Gus. And yes it makes sense to go to Bama if you want to be a high draft pick obviously, but Bama is not comparable right now to any other program.
