Let's not forget. While on a recruiting visit to Alabama two years ago, Nick Saban told Leonard Fournette, ........."We don't need you but we could use you."

Yeah Right!

And he was exactly right. Alabama's issues aren't with their RB's

And if you're somehow implying that Saban didn't know how good fournette was then you're an absolute dumbass

Link?

I Googled and found this:

quote:

During the Fournettes visit to Tuscaloosa days later, Saban met with the family in his office to deliver a message.

“He said something in reference to, ‘Don’t be pressured to go (to LSU) because that’s your home,’” Lory said. “He was like, ‘We need you over here.’”

No way hahaha. Dude you punked Saban with this thread. Screenshot and send it to his text or facebook. I bet it will make him blush.

Another Fournette FAP thread. Havent seen a team so reliant on one player since Auburn with Cam Newton.

Geez, man. Even if true, why be thinking about that right now. His recruitment's been finishedited for a while now.

Saban also knew he went to ST AUG and he knew he had a slim chance at getting him!!

I, personally, am not much of a fan of these continuous threads. Wish we had enough of a level head to let this play out. Although I've seen most fanbases here fall to hype threads.

I'm not sure if you are a Bama fan? Burton Burns is your staff for a reason.

Nick Saban wanted Fournette badly and Bama insiders know it. He always makes it a priority to get Louisiana's top player. He thought he had Buga. He's the best recruiter in the country and he personally recruited LF, so his confidence was understandable. Can't say how happy I am that LF said no.

That statement would be self-contradictory.

I figured his message to LF, would be:

"Hey fella, take it easy on us, my Defensive Coord is grossly overrated, and if i don't have star players at every position, teams expose him worse than Paul Reubens."
