you wanted this to happen so we would stay away from Ramsey. Looks like its a win win for Bama and UGA.

Don't care now that we have Bateman.

Saban doesn't need to open any recruiting doors to any state or region. Bama can go anywhere and land a player if they want. Granted some places are harder than others but that pipeline/open door stuff is very overrated unless you're talking a particular school. Each case is it's own separate little scenario. Bama has enough power to fight against anyone, anywhere for a prospect. People said the same about Ohio when Bama got Depriest and while Bama can still battle in Ohio, they don't typically and will not win out typically. It's a case by case thing. Utah isn't exactly a boom state anyway. It's always solid and always will be but the great majority of them stay in Utah at one of the Mormon schools. No recruiting door is going to stop that. Religion trumps football particularly when it comes to Utah and Mormonism. In a situation like Bateman, who isn't a Mormon, Bama can go head to head with anyone. Again it's case by case.

This year we already have Tenpenny from Arkansas, Averett from New Jersey, and now Bateman from Utah. Other teams can do just as well as Bama in these random states. USCw has Bigelow from Delaware and Max Brown from Washington.

Gator so how sure are you that Allen commits to Bama this weekend after his visit or on his visit?

Bateman visited seven schools, and at each of them coaches threw out varying recruiting tactics. Each university had a locker with a jersey bearing his name prominently displayed. Auburn sent him — and his mother — around campus with a set of attractive twin sisters.
“It was kind of weird,” he said, “but I guess that’s how they do it.”
He added: “Everyone, of course, tried to put on a show. If anything, Alabama did the least of that.”
