I am referring more to the hiring of our assistants and staff who go on to recruit against us. Again, that is just the business of the coaching profession. I start to draw the line if it impacts our players and depth......again with the caveat of a Saban approval. In the aforementioned article, we have approved some and not others for in-conference transfers.
Further, i don't see us benefiting so much since we recruit and then develop the recruits at such a high level. The only transfer that I can think of that we were dead serious about taking was Braxton Miller but Urban convinced him to stay.

Don't get me wrong that is most likely the case but to me that is irrelevant because down the road it could not be for another student. One of these schools could have the best cow insemination graduate programs in the country that they want to be a part of. That kid should be able to go there and play football if they so choose in my opinion and not be limited by a previous institution.
Just be clear because I don't think I have said this, I have no problem with what Saban is doing. He is doing what he feels is best for Bama with in the rules. I just beleive a) it is a bad rule and b) you will lose out in the long run anyway with players already successfully getting the waivers.
I don't believe the depth point applies here. The kids are leaving regardless it is just where they go. It is a depth issue for us whether they go to UGA or Nebraska. Competing against it is obviously another story.
I'm not sure what you mean by Miller being the only grad transfer. Coker, Mullaney, Dieter and the new kicker are all grad transfers I know off the top of my head. We where going to take Minishaw the QB from ECU this year.
