From reading BOL. They(staff writers) literally posted Bama's top DL targets. Shelvin, Wilson, Buggs. They obviously fought to get Stevens and now they're pressing Harris.

Why is it funny that he said LSU has the best recruiting staff in the country? Collectively I think he's right. Bama recruits just as well as LSU but I think some of that just comes from yall winning championships like yall have done lately. No real elite recruiter is needed to get those guys. LSU has guys that are ELITE recruiters. We have to hire guys like that to keep up with Bama.
It's hard to say who has a better recruiting staff but you'd be wrong to say we don't have a top 3 recruiting staff in the country.

Are you just fricking stupid or delusional?
Jesus Christ kid.
Bama doesn't recruit "just as well as L5U." They recruit BETTER. The rankings reflect this. The results on the field reflect this. Five wins over L5U in a row reflect this.
How hard is that for you to understand?
Only a L5U fan, and trust me your fan base is the only one that would, would make a claim to having a better recruiting staff than Alabama.

You recruit marginally better. You finish 1st while we finish top 3, 5, or 10.
We also recruit different athletes for the most part.

LSU landed Jamal Adams and Leonard Fournette. They lost on Speedy Noil (currently suspended, again), Gerald Willis (got kicked out of school and had more hits on the QB off the field then he had on) and Tony Brown (how many games is he going to miss again? Probably doesn't matter since he's on a special teams player.)

Gerald Willis was awesome when he played at UF. He flashed 1st Rd potential.

He also punched a few teamates

Keep the faith, baw.

Stevens says his recruitment is over, but is it?
JaCoby Stevens committed to LSU on Monday, but Alabama was at the top at one point in his recruitment.
Stevens, a 5-star safety from Oakland High School (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), told our own Jeff Sentell, who was on the scene for the nation’s No. 2 safety’s commitment ceremony, that the Crimson Tide led for two weeks before the Tigers took the lead for good.
“They were just preaching to me that Saban is the guy that taught all these (coaches) from Georgia and the guys at Alabama now, so why not go to the primary guy?” Stevens said. “It made sense to me, so that’s why I did like Alabama.
“The thing they showed me with Saban is that you have guys like Mark Barron and Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix. They showed me meal plans and how they are going to take care of me off the field and in the classroom. I liked it.”
LSU beat out Alabama mainly because it was Stevens’ “first love,” as he described it. He didn’t visit Baton Rouge this summer, but a trip there this past spring was key. That trip to LSU was the standard that every other school needed to beat.
“It was finalized when I visited LSU during the spring,” Stevens told SEC Country. “I got the feeling that I thought I could commit. I didn’t want to admit it, so I kept going on visits. LSU was always that dark horse, though. That spring visit was the secret. The thing people knew is that I was there, but they didn’t know it had that sort of effect.”
As I’ve mentioned previously, Stevens’ mind has changed quite frequently throughout his recruitment. He committed to LSU before, de-committed and re-committed. He was silently committed to Georgia for a few months and had Alabama on top, too.
He says he’s only taking one official visit this fall though, and that’s to LSU.
“I feel like I don’t need to take any more official visits because I feel like this is the right choice for me,” Stevens said. “I don’t need people to try to persuade me otherwise. They all had their chance when I de-committed my junior year.”
Will Stevens keep to that mindset? That remains to be seen. Alabama linebacker commit VanDarius Cowan said something similar to Stevens and now he’s taking all five official visits, so it’s possible Stevens changes his mind down the road.
