Saban Working His Magic To Trim Roster......

Kid just wants to play ball.

Not a big deal to me personally but where's all the Miles' bashers that were saying he was despicable for letting Miller go? I want to see them come and post the hate for the great Saban whom Miles and LSU bow down to. The infallible Saban that can do no wrong and owns the college football world but is gracious enough to let us live in it. Where's the same venom for him that was spewed at Miles by our fans? There's no way the great Saban could make a mistake anywhere similar to poor ole Les Miles is there? I guess this means Bama is a program falling fast and in a nosedive. The perception of this will bring the mighty Saban and Bama down!!! Say it ain't so!! fricking hypocrites.


Eta: this was on the LSU RB and therefore the reason for the rant. Just calling out the "sky is falling" LSU fans. Wasn't meant for the other SEC fans.

This was on the LSU recruiting board and now it is over here

Thatdude,are you a ugly girl or a sissyboy.Sorry got to ask that pix is horrible.

I wonder if Outside The Lines is gonna run a smear campaign on Saban for doing this like they did to Miles.

This is some new and pertinent information. Thanks for letting us all know about this situation.

Taylor's injury is the X-factor in this case. Had Alabama planned to grayshirt Taylor immediately after he got hurt, Taylor might have had more time to find a school willing to take him. Getting the bad news in January puts Taylor in a more difficult situation because most schools have already filled their classes. By the same token, no other schools recruited Taylor hard after his injury. Alabama continued recruiting him. Georgia fans were among the most vociferous critics of Saban when The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Michael Carvell published a lengthly interview with Taylor Sunday -- probably because Georgia has been at a disadvantage because it doesn't oversign -- but the Bulldogs haven't exactly rushed to offer a scholarship to an in-state player. Alabama is offering for '13. (The argument that other schools shied away because of Taylor's commitment to Alabama doesn't hold water. Nothing short of a restraining order will stop most SEC coaches from recruiting a player they want.)

Thanks to the new rule, Taylor will have options. If he finds a school he likes that will offer him a scholarship for '12, he can sign the NLI and be done with the recruiting process. If he truly wants to go to Alabama, he can wait and enroll next year. But if Taylor chooses that option, and in June or July, Auburn or South Carolina or Georgia Tech or N.C. State suddenly has an opening because a signee didn't qualify academically or chose to play professional baseball or chased his lifelong dream of joining the circus, then those schools can recruit Taylor. They can let him know they have a scholarship available immediately. Taylor still has his leverage, even if he doesn't have his scholarship at the moment.

As of Monday night, Taylor still plans to go to Alabama. "I'm still committed," he said. "That's what everyone has been asking me. Did I decommit? That was not true. I'm still committed." But if another school happened to call with a scholarship offer? "Would I talk to them?" Taylor said. "I mean, maybe."

In other words, Taylor is exactly as committed to Alabama as Alabama is committed to him.
