Just never update it (like I did) and people stop asking after a few hundred pages.

We have a top 10 list for high school kids in Alabama yet or is it too early for that?

It will good to see all the in state kids we will miss on early this year.
45 kids from Alabama signed with a D1 school, Auburn signed 3 of those.

How many did Alabama sign? How many signed with a P5 conference? How many signed in the SEC?
Recruiting Alabama is great, but only to the extent that you aren’t signing talent just because they’re from Alabama. I feel like you’re just searching for things to complain about and this one seems silly
3/45 looks really bad but it’s stupid when you realize there’s never more than 8-10 max worth signing in this state every year. The vast majority of those 45 players who earned a D1 scholarship would never see the field at Auburn. So try and spin it another way

At least 2 went to UGA and 1 to Fla. we cannot allow that to happen
Posted on 2/9/19 at 9:31 am to attalla
An OLB our of Mobile went to LSU as well.
Posted on 2/9/19 at 9:50 am to attalla
And how many did we sign out of FL and GA? Are they saying the same thing? I hear you saying we can’t let that happen. But I’m telling you it’s going to happen.
Posted on 2/9/19 at 11:01 am to Rig
Yea but not as much. FLA and GA have about 10x the D1 talent than AL. The top 5 - 10 may be the same but the next group isn’t in the same ballpark

That’s cool with 3 stars. Not with players like Ross, Pickens, and Webb.

And remember our top recruiters strength this year were connections in GA, FL and Miss.
Look, ALabama didn't even get the top player 2 out of the last 3 years (Webb, Pickens)..so that doesn't make them a poor recruiter, especially since they do so well nationally now.
I do wonder why we don't recruit equally as GA now. But with SMart's success, it is making our recruiting harder now.
GA is selling that their program is playing ata high level now towards a NC..where we are hit and miss over the last 6 years w/ Gus.
If we don't compete this coming year at a high level(9+ wins with at least one of them over GA or Alabama), all this will be moot, as Gus will definitely seem on his way out...

The original point Brannigan was making is that we don’t sign enough AL talent.

Think about all of the top tier talent we’ve plucked out of GA and FL since Chizik was hired back in 09.
Top talent is going to cross borders at times due to $$$, wanting to get away from home, playing time, family, or whatever else.
This really shouldn’t be as big of a concern as everyone is making it to be

Ole Miss, Miss State, Clemson, GaTech, Oregon, LSU, UF, Vandy, and Kansas all sighed as many or more players from Alabama than Auburn.

The state may produce 2-3 elite players each year. GA produces 40-50. I agree with our strategy in recruiting.
