Three places is a huge inconsistencies but the point remains, that you fell, and actually fell big in the enrolled rankings.

I'm not going to snoop for information; but what credentials does the message board you linked me have in relation to this argument and how does it prove that Rivals is a better source than Scout?

frick Sanders. He's the pussy that didn't want to compete for his position.


Curious, how long before you start wishing he gets injured because he "quit" on the tahd.

I hate to lose him, and I didn't think the rumors were true the other day. Hell, he even told the media a week ago he was solid. Just goes to show you there's so much going on behind the scenes. On a positive note, with our tight numbers it gives us more room to go after DEs. Alfy Hill is our Jack, so we're solid there.

I don't really follow recruiting very closely, but I have seen tons of the recruitards claim that Rivals' star rankings are superior to Scout's. I think the general sentiment is that Scout gives out far too many five stars and overrates players

Only reason I think Rivals is better is because it looks nicer than Scout....

Yeah there is no reason for doom in gloom for Alabama here. But will be ticked if we lose Corey Grant to Auburn.

We really do need a few of those Recruiting board folks over here. I may disagree with their assessments of a few teams, coaches, etc.; but they know their shite about high school athletes and their abilities and school preferences.

If Sanders really did decommit. Good luck, punk.

Enjoy playing for some 3rd level team in the SEC.

Walking into a situation at Auburn where they have no one at his position is a p'ssy way of doing it.
So all those start studded recruiting national championships are full of pussies as this is how CNS sold the program to the recruits.

I would be interested in a recruiting nerd doing an analysis of Rivals' historical rankings compared to NFL draft status vs Scout's. I know that there is someone on the recruiting board here with so little to do that they'd probably do it. Team recruiting rankings vs final team rankings in the BCS would be interesting as well.

Honestly, I would love for Auburn to have the same "problems" that y'all are having with recruiting. And frankly, I can't blame a kid for looking at the people in front of him and going to another school to help get playing time.

Some of the people on here need to take a xanax and some beer and mellow out.

I hope the Aubs get him. They'll need a little pick-me-up after their IB arse-beating!

We can turn up the heat on Gabe King, or try and turn Delvin Jones. There's also the possibility of adding a DT now.

Sanders is good catch for us, don't get me wrong, but losing him is not going to ruin y'alls recruiting.

Yes, he's a good player. He wouldn't have played for a while, but he could have developed into a great LB down the road. He'll have the chance to play pretty early at Auburn.

I'll admit its irritating right now to lose him to a rival, but this most likely ends up being a positive in the end. More game ready players have popped up on the radar that may not have had a spot because of limited space taken up. Just leave Corey Grant alone. I like the idea of him and Maze on the field at the same time.

I think the only DE we are going after at all is Gabe King and he has an offer no matter what Sanders did. Course we have seen plenty of knew names pop up the last week or two one being WR Tai-ler Jones who is a teammate of Blake Sims.

Not sure about this year but think in years past that scout made the top 50 players in the country five stars no matter what.

Regardless, Alabama will still have a top five class. There are plenty of elite prospects wanting on board.

No kidding? We already have passed a point where Bama fans worry about recruiting.

A decommit just means that we are getting another awesome player, who would not be a pussy, by the way. If Sanders was scared of competition, we don't need him anyways.
