Sporting news article on Recruiting (Bama)
quote:

Everyone gather around. Throw an arm around the person next to you or hold a hand. Trust me, there is a way to get through this. This is the monster we all know as Alabama football.

quote:

Start with acceptance. Alabama is not going away. Nick Saban is not taking another job (not another word). Alabama is going to continue winning games. Lots of games.

quote:

And why not Alabama? The school's recruiting slogan could read: If you're not interested in competiting for titles every year and being put in position to further your career in the NFL, then maybe Alabama isn't the right place for you.

Why count Baldwin but not him then? Shouldn't we be shorted by 2 and not 1?

FSU picked up a JUCO and their count seems to be accurate

Scarbrough is a BEAST but has had injury issues. I am praying he stays healthy. I am excited to see him play!

This was in response to a pretty specific question from a reporter. He basically just said they always keep their eyes open for good players, didn't go out of his way to say they would have liked another running back or were looking for another running back, the way he did regarding receiver earlier in the press conference.

Didn't get the impression from that answer that they were "looking" for another running back.

Not sure that was my best guess, I am not an ESPN insider. Just thought it was probably him based on watching the show etc. Never heard them say anything about him or show his name.

HC can have one inhome visit but I am not sure they are restricted to campus visits.

Yeah seems to have been adjusted. Hate that you have to be an insider just to see the full class or how they come about their rankings

Anyone know when Robinson will be committing? Would be huge to get him back in this class. Another receiver would complete this class.

Hard to count on a guy that has stood the staff up 3x along with decommitting in the 1st place. Would love to have Robertson in crimson but he needs to sign for the right reasons.

ETA: He hasn't set a timeline so I wouldn't advise anybody to hold their breath. Truly a wait and see situation.

He kind of a diva. Seems to want to be in the headlines and is milking it for as long as he can.

He's has plenty of time to visit campuses and get to know coaches. He could commit today if he wanted, just wants to drag it out.

I don't think Robertson is necessarily a diva. Comes off to me like he was really set on getting into Stanford and couldn't and now he's interested in the academic prowess of ND, but isn't as in love with them as Stanford, making it harder to choose them over the closer schools.

I think the Diva comment is basically due to the way he handled his recruitment down the stretch. He said was going to visit multiple times then cancelled. That visit to GaTech was like a slap in the face, especially as a former commit still supposedly considering Alabama.
