re: Bama just took a commitment from OJ Smith from Bossier City

I'm late to the party here, but I would like to point out that Saban recruits to specific traits per position; height, weight, speed, agility etc. If they meet those criteria he believes his staff can coach them up on technique and skills. Perhaps this kid had all the traits they are looking for in a NG. Regardless, his track record as a recruiter speaks for itself. If this staff see's something in him I will error on the side of believing they have evaluated him correctly. They are correct often enough for me in that regard.

This. Saban has proven that he knows what the frick he's doing. I wouldn't care at all what the guy's star rating is if I were a Bama fan. If Saban wants him, then he's a good football player. End of story.
