Yeah and our last few hires aren't exactly tearing it up on the recruiting trail.

Tim... who are all of these recruits??? Lawson, Foster, and Liner... Nice recruits, but not an incredibly deep defensive class.

Our 08 defensive class >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Auburn's 2013

Also this class was supposed to be lopsided towards offense look at last years class.

Speaking of underwhelming hires, anyone think we went and got Thompson so quickly because Saban wasn't prepared for Sal to jump? Maybe a falling out between them? To me it seemed like Sal was gangbusters on the recruiting trail except for the 12 cycle.

Yeah, your new offensive coordinator only landed one of the best quarterbacks in the 2013 class. That's all.

Are you Captain Brannigan's wife/cousin/brother/sister or something?

So its trolling to state the obvious and say we have had a very sucky month on the recruiting trail?

First Nkemdiche was a meh to me, then Foster, then Scarborough, now Daub, and Fournette. Its been a very rough month.

I wouldn't use me as a reference. I don't have as much cred with these guys as I do with the guys who jumped ship. But I would say it's been a rough month all things considered. Ebbs and Flows I suppose, but it's not been flowing as well as I'd like

It has not been a great month, but that is part of recruiting.

Agreed, but I can't remember a month going this badly since Saban came on board. The end of 10 was pretty bad though

The beginning of 2010 when we lost allen, and a few other issues because of our trip to pasadena while folks recruited against us.

Sure he meant the end of the 10 cycle. I mean we are almost 3/4 of the way through the 2013 cycle.

Go back 5 years you didn't see Chad Jones, Torrey Davis, Cliff Matthews, Stefan Francois (guys just off the top of my head) basically the moment he set foot on campus.

And we all remember the hype Saban had when he landed. So what gives?

Everyone in this thread knows what you're insinuating fwiw

I have a question. How did you survive the 2000's before saban got here? You must have been on the verge of suicide

God damn I just read the last few pages and my mind is completely fricking blown. If you are a fan of UA, please change that immediately. We already have enough dumbasses that root for my university.

What are Bama's recruiting needs in this class for DBs? I just read that USC CB commit Chris Hawkins (Rivals ****) is planning to take 4 other visits this year, and Bama is one of them (ORE,WASH,ND are the others.)

Most SC folks think that he is all Cardinal & Gold, and just wants to enjoy the trips, but with a football power like Bama, you don't take anything for granted.
