re: The 2010 Alabama Recruiting Class was very mediocre

Larry, we all know the Bama recruiting hype is way overblown. You're not telling us anything new. I'm sure this class was probably rated top 5 by some services. For example, Bama allegedly picks and chooses who it wants from GA. But, the only above average player I can remember during Saban's tenure from GA was Chance Warmack and you got him because we didn't offer. Mistake on our part, but we didn't get "beat" in the strictest sense of the word. Some of the other guys were hyped up after Bama "swooped in and stole them," only to have middling, mediocre careers.

This coming from a fan of the fighting Mark Richts is especially humorous. Bama winning three nattys the past five years and being a play or two away in two other years, coupled with the win loss record the past six years says our recruiting has been nothing short of outstanding. As far as not getting GA players that Uga wants, what a crock of horse manure. Saban has signed no fewer than a dozen GA players with UGA offers the past 6 years. Maybe more. But to the point of the OPs post, yes 2010 ended up being Saban's most disappointing class to date. Still, a class that produces the likes of Mosley, Milliner, White, etc would be a solid class at almost any other school.
