No we just have a talented team as talented as yours.NAturally Saban is this difference. It's just weird that you keep more of your juniors year in and year out.

Nobody can deny that Saban has firmly said players should be paid.

Btw I think it's bull crap Warmack increased his draft status alot this year. Dude was a freak last year and he's a freak this year funny he didn't go.

But you've provided no evidence that alabama keeps their juniors at a higher rate than any other school - for pretty obvious reason, it's not true.

There have been plenty of talented teams over the years. No team has ever had 10+ underclassmen leave for the pros. Especially since the majority of them won't sniff the first round. You can spin that how you want, but the facts speak for themselves.

I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. I'm just stating the obvious: it's very unusual. And alabama has more juniors leave for the pros than most teams, also a fact.

He would have been the second guard taken after Decastro, so that would put him in the 30ish range. He will go top 15 maybe top 10 this year.

Um, he stayed, won his 3rd ring, and will now be drafted in the 1st round. That's as good as it gets.

It's not talent that makes Bama so much better. It's discipline and doing what they've been taught.

So it's not a surprise that they have the same amount leave early as other teams on average. Talent is everywhere (especially in this conference). Discipline is not.
