re: Lance Thompson leaves Bama for the Barn

Remember when Lance left for Knoxville and said he'd build a fence around Memphis and less than 12 hours later we signed the #1 prospect in Tennessee?

Oh yes. And for those who have forgotten, Scarbinsky, of all people, is there to remind us.

"here's what Saban did do:

He hopped Lance Thompson's fence before Thompson put the first post in the ground.

Securing Alabama's first commitment for the class of 2010 from Memphis, right after Thompson vowed that Tennessee was going to put up a fence around the city, ran counter to the theory that, for Saban, it's not personal, it's just business."

"Just don't expect Thompson to do it.
As a fence-builder, he leaves a lot to be desired."
