Alabama’s Spring practice this year will not just be “practice” it will be Try Outs. Alabama will have 11 players leave the program this year (8 sr & 3 jr) and they were already at full capacity (85). So how do they have 23 verbal commitments and will be entertaining several more this weekend? Because they will not keep them. What Coach Saban will do is after Spring practice he will “cut” the players that he doesn’t want. Making it impossible for them to find another school this year because it will be to late.
Bobby Dodd would not allow any of the football players choosing Tech to be dismissed from Tech, because they were not good players. Dodd said, “it is not the recruits fault for not making the squad, it was the coaches fault for misjudging their talents”. If a recruit came to Tech, he would stay on a football scholarship until he graduated.
So Congrats! Bama. There is a good reason Saban is always at the top of the recruiting charts.
If what you are saying is true, I think it will have negative ramifications for Bama in the long run. What parent would want their kid to commit to a program who may pull their offer after a year at school? I hope this is not the case because if so, Nick Saban is the worst human being in college football.
ReplyDeleteBama fans are actually killing AU on the message boards because a kid (Kris Frost) committed us on tv and did not talk to our coaches first and we will not honor his commitment because we do not have room for another LB and don't want to "grey shirt" anyone. Gene basically told the kid he could wait until after signing day and see if we had a spot or go somewhere else. Guess Saban never thought of that.
