Why would they plan for a kid that’s not even in the portal if they hadn’t been talking to him already? You don’t waste time recruiting kids you know you don’t have a chance at.


A player can initiate contact at any time, dumbass.

There are still Cajuns who believe that Les Miles and Company weren't cheating their azz off trying to keep up.

It was difficult to keep up with the level of cheating Bama was doing for sure.

Coming up a poor second is what you do. Can't fight history.

One of these 2 things has to be true... ...either Saban cheated... ...or... ...kids all over America grow up desperately want to go to a joke academic institution in one of the most depressing areas of the country.


If you seriously think these are the only two options to explain Saban’s recruiting success then you are dumb af.

You know those threads on movie message boards, that talk about who the perfect actor would be for a particular role?

By your logic, those threads are basically attempts at contacting those actors.

Ofcourse he's a cheater. The only other cheater nearly as good is Kirby. Not only is Saban a cheater but he loves to broadcast it somewhat indirectly because he's smug and knows no one will do anything about it. Many checks were written and the right people were paid off time and time again.


Only people crying about cheating are the fans of programs who don’t do it well enough to have any hardware to look at.

Or they wanted to go to the school that gave them their best chance to get developed for the next level.


This is one of the dumbest things that Bama fans believe to be true that isn't true. It's easy to get guys in the league if they possess high 4 & 5 star talent.

Bama's hit rate getting to NFL of 95 or higher rated players is lower than most places. You just got so many more of them than anyone else.

Saban is saying is they hoped he would enter the portal so they could recruit him, but he never did.


But that’s not what he said at all. He said he was their #1 target and they tried to get him to hop in the portal but he never did.

Because that's how Nick Saban rolls.

How the hell am I supposed to know the details? I'm not an insider. It could just be they liked him and thought he might be someone that would transfer.

Seems a hell of a lot more likely to me than Nick Saban goes around calling random kids to see if they want to transfer to Alabama knowing that is specifically against the rules and thus gives the power to each person he calls to get him in trouble etc.

I mean even if he was calling kids as you claim, don't you think they kind of have to do the same thing and identify someone who might possibly transfer?

Sounds like Saban is saying that Alabama would have liked to have gotten this player out of the portal if he had ever entered the portal. He never entered, so they couldn’t.


Of course that’s what he said. These broke by Bama posters are like modern “journalists“ with how they try to spin shite.

Probably wouldn’t troll using his name.


Wasn't trolling, he was absolutely adamant "Bama is the only school that doesn't cheat because they don't have too..."
