I often wonder about the mantra "this is a recruiting coach" and believe its overhyped. You ever see Saban speak, how about that recruiting conversation that leaked, the man makes watching paint dry exciting.

The back office is a large key to success. Of all the coaches and personnel that have promoted out, the one Saban was really pissed about was when Dabo snaked his head of recruiting, we saw how that worked out for Clemson.

We need a huge and coordinated back office to identify the pool of players we will go after years before we need to. Not option a and b but option a through z. There are another 1000 or more that bama, ohio state, clemson, dont have room for.

And no we were not doing that. Losing an in state kid to bama is understandable. Losing many of them to out of state schools seems a little remiss.

I reminded of an old fat successful businessman from Appalachia with a stunning wife. I aske how in the world, he said marry em young and get em pregnant they wont leave ya.

No, we are not. There is a difference between looking at someone’s answer from your desk and stealing the whole damn answer key..

Yep, one's usually more correct than the other.

4* RB Damari Alston is going to try to be at A-Day Saturday. He has a track meet that morning so there’s a chance he won’t make it

4* DE Caden Story will be at Alabama’s since his brother plays there

6* PK Alex McPherson will be at A-Day

Should hear about more guys as the week goes along

I already know how this recruitment ends. Alabama will offer eventually and we will be left like a bride at the alter.

Not someone that KN has actively talked to. Based on his comments about the schools that he's OV'ing, I don't know that he's seriously considering AU.

The most concerning thing is that Clemson is his "dream school" and he's actively talking to them.

Either way, I like that Nick Eason is recruiting nationally and getting traction early.

Who knows. This staff is talking to everyone

I’ll say, though, that you only get 5 OVs. You don’t see kids set those at schools they’re not serious about. The article said he’s trying to pick between 5 schools for his final OVs

Eason is obviously well know in Pittsburg so that definitely is part of it

Oh for sure. If Clemson gets that 5th OV it’s probably over so hopefully that doesn’t happen.

The good news is that once we get them on campus our chances skyrocket. There’s no way he’ll come away more impressed with Penn State, Pitt, or Kentucky

KN seems to have a good relationship with AJ Harris.

Really want Karmello English.

Well, Clemson is "Auburn with a lake", so maybe he won't be impressed by the lake.
