The Tide crushed your other favorite team's dreams. Subconsciously you are upset about it and not posting in the MEGATHREAD as a result.






41-14. Michigan tears taste like fine wine.

Didnt stop me from posting in last years megathread.

I actually really pissed off my friend who is a huge Michigan fan. I was laughing at how awesome the beatdown was. He wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the night.

I think its because last years cruits were epic assholes.

I think they were just more exciting early. Nkemdiche was "ours" and had an awesome name. Foster was ours and was the "best linebacker in a decade". Not to mention Jon Allen and the qb search

Don't sell this class short just yet. There are assholes out there just waiting for the perfect moment to announce their assholeness.

Like, this year, I'm only excited about Cornwell, Humphrey, Luatua, and my man Ermon Lane. Everybody else I either don't care (Shaun Dion) or can't get excited about yet because it's too long a road (Cam Robinson, DeShawn Hand, the Cali kids, bunch more)

The Fournette recruitment should be fun, at least from a "watching LSU fans go apeshit anytime he mentions Bama" perspective.

Maybe pulling a commitment this weekend will speed shite up. Dante Sawyer is one to watch.

I kind of thought the new 25 per class rule would cut back on the drawn out recruitments, but it seems like this year the vast majority of them are going to stretch out the attention until NSD or beyond.

I've decided to handle Fournette and Robinson like I did Landon. Assume they are LSU all the way and then be super happy if they come to Bama

I thought Collins was coming to Bama the entire time. Fournette isnt, but he will be a fun trolling tool.

I think there is a severe pickiness to this class, one where they only take 22-23 of what they need and don't settle until they absolutely have to. I think that's why 2 Junior Days yielded no '14 commits, where Bama could have easily landed 2-3.

They are pretty much heavily in every state right now, so I doubt the class fills up very fast.

I'm surprised someone hasn't brought over the fact that Coach Burns' daughter is the director of communications at Fournette's HS yet, just for shits in the SECrb thread.

I never thought Landon would be at Bama until he announced. And I was crazy happy when he did. So that's how I play them now. LF definitely isn't coming though. I'd bet on it

'14 FL LB Dillon Bates has been offered by Saban.

Bates is the son of Dallas Cowboys' Bill Bates, and he has really shown out in coverage at some recent 7-on-7s/combines.

Appears that Phillip Ely is sticking at Bama. Not likely to transfer.

That will probably change once he falls behind one or two of the freshmen on the depth chart.

Bravo Saint, and all the others who make this thread really good. Better than any paysite thread I read.

Keep up the good work fellas.

He and his family were pretty pissed when that rumor came out, pretty much the equivalent of calling him a coward in their eyes.

Understandable. It's just hard to see him beating Morris and Bateman in 2014. He really has to beat out Morris this year, and from all accounts it appears that that will be really difficult.
