re: Bama fans are saying AU is buying recruits?!?

This staff was built to recruit, that is what Chizik built it to do. Gus recruits well just by his name, thigpen was the best recruiter on UNC's staff, Trooper is an amazing recruiter, Luper as well. Also the staff is promoting a family atmosphere and they have taken recruiting to a new level of showing players how they'll be utilized at the school. We've had players leave saying the coaches didn't tell them what they wanted to hear but what they needed to hear. Chizik told one guy who wanted to play QB that he hasn't seen any 5'10" QBs in the NFL but he's seen a lot of 5'10" corners then goes on about the corners he's put in the NFL and Thorpe award winners.

That is great. What hasn't been proven is what can the recruiting maniacs Chiz hired do with the talent they bring in. You dropped 5 of the last seven this year. Yeah, you have a depth issues. But if I was an AU fan, I would temper my excitement. Wipe off the 8 roper that everyone is putting on your chin over the recruiting haul, and see what happens once all the 5 stars have to execute on the field.
