re: A look at Kirby's next press conference after he loses Pappoe and Morris tonight

Ou of curiosity...Saban pulled 7 straight #1 classes. Why does Auburn struggle to get better than 10th? I mean, Auburn is closer to all the talent in Georgia and Florida. And Saban got the first #1 class before he won a National Championship at Alabama.

Probably because Auburn isn't the state school, or something, huh?

Honest reply? Gus isn't half the recruiter Saban is. Just that simple. And saying Saban got it before he won the title at Bama is disingenuous. By that time, he had won a title at LSU, coached an NFL team, and could have conceivably claimed some credit for the 2007 NC. He wasn't a fresh-faced coach trying to stir up excitement to cover for his lack of credentials.
