"I mean, we were second in recruiting last year," Saban told the audience. "A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team -- made a deal for name, image, likeness. We didn't buy one player, all right? But I don't know if we're gonna be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it. It's tough."

Was this bullshite when Saban said it?



That was before Alabama formed it's collective and in fact was probably the reason it was formed.



Was it bullshite when he said it? I want a running count of the Alabama fans who think Brian Kelly is full of shite for saying what he said and Nick Saban wasn't.

Here's an Alabama fan saying they are/were both full of shite.

Like I said yesterday when this CBK's comments hit the boards, some things are better left unsaid.

Why give competitors on the recruiting trail ammo to use against you based on comments that can be taken out of context? BK could've easily said, things aren't quite up to LSU's standard, but the LSU staff is working hard on evaluations and the team will be ready in the fall.

Nothing he said was bullshite. Alabama did not have a collective for that recruiting class, so he wasn't buying players with it. At the time, I think A&M was the only one with a collective.

He didn't like the shite so he retired, and I don't blame him. It's the entire reason he left the NFL, and now college football has turned into that.

If BK said - frick this shite, I'm not dealing with it anymore, I wouldn't blame him either. The entire thing sucks arse, but don't pretend like you aren't playing ball after you strike out.
