re: Should Alabama stoke the Dabo fires for recruiting?

I still can't believe you are suggesting that we lie to recruits

Is that what people think I'm suggesting??? Good Lord, no. Not at all, nothing should ever be said by Alabama, or by our recruiters to the players about Dabo. Of course not.

If I had to compare it to something, I would compare it to a friend of mine that somehow had a rumor started about him that he was extremely well endowed. He told me that he he never said anything at all, but he sure didn't do anything to set them straight. He just laughed along when someone brought it up and people took that to mean it was true.

Alabama doesn't have to say anything or really do anything outside of little things that remind recruits that eventually when Saban leaves, we're still the best program in the history of college football and we will get the best coach out there, regardless. I only mentioned Dabo because he's convenient he's already associated with Alabama.

I would never suggest lying to the recruits.
