re: Did Eddie Lacy really not get an LSU offer out of HS?

Guys, not everyone is college material or should be in college in the first place. Nothing wrong with working on cars, houses, or attending non-engineering tech. schools to improve your life. It does not mean your dumb, just that your abilities are different. This kid has physical talent on the football field and I'm happy he got a chance to showcase it. Good for him - for it will pay off for him soon.

I think this is what Saban means by impacting kid's lives. You can't be a part of such a success story in the pros. And you can tell Saban really likes the kid and has always gushed (even when trich & mark was around) when talking about him.
