just like you are all speculating that Will Wade did something wrong?

Lol I said produced. That’s NFL. how many players has the great Saban produced in the NFL that is elite. For 11 years he has had number 1 recruiting classes. After all that how many players are elite in the NFL. not many my man not many at all.

This isn’t rocket science


Early in Saban's tenure Gadsden City High School was a hotbed for recruiting talent (Kirkpatrick, Harris). Three of their recruits worked for REC members during HS and Summer jobs. One worked in an Attorney's Office and the others for the local REC President. All three signed with Bama. I was told this by a UA grad and that it was well known in the area.

The problem with that argument is that if they were legitimately paying the actual value amount on their own, wouldn't they choose different makes of vehicles? The full priced Dodge Charger can't be the only car that appeals to these kids.

Without having to pay elite recruits to come?


LOL. Somewhere Trey Sanders is saying "you can have the Charger back but imma keep the 340k". Nobody cheats as well as Nick. Well maybe Kirby, but he learned from Nick. But you keep believing all these teams we love aren't paying players.

It's obvious Bama isn't paying recruits. If they were Saban couldn't process players without them turning him in unless you believe those players are just kind-hearted enough to not say anything. Yet people will still believe Bama pays them despite the illogicality of it because of the success and the emotions that success had stirred in opposing fans.

Are you that stupid or do you think we are? Bama invented paying college football players, Auburn perfected it. That is until Bobby and Milt got caught.

Most Bama players are bums in the NFL.

Saban hasn't been spotless in his recruiting methods....the NCAA has created recruiting rules based on abuses by Saban and his staff. Just google "the Saban Bump Rule", for one. Saban and his staff has made a practice to bend if not out-right break NCAA recruiting rules, and the Alabama machine behind the staff is among the best at hiding and covering up the illegal practices.

But Alabama is Alabama, and after getting the program back to competing for NCs, Saban and his staff don't have to cheat as prolifically as they had to in 2007, 2008, 2009. Corey Harris, Luther Davis, and Bo Davis notwithstanding. Then they can let the program and their own recent success sell the program itself.

They still have to be diligent on the recruiting trail, to keep things from back-sliding, because the recruiting game is highly competitive. But the dirty deed was done, and a top program like Alabama can continue to build off of it.

That's probably what Will Wade at LSU was trying to do. Get his program off and running as quickly as possible, get some early success off of the back of illegal recruiting methods that bring elite talent to Red Stick, and then build off of it from there in a more "legitimate" fashion going forward. THAT's typically how it's done in collegiate sports....

The Dodge Chargers, weed and steroids are just a little bonus in Nick's world.

Uh, they created the rules to stop things Saban was doing. He wasn't cheating when he did them, the rules didn't exist.

Half those rules were created because old lazy asses like Spurrier were tired of having to chase guys like Meyer and Saban around all spring when they'd rather be playing golf.
