Interesting 3 wideouts in that group. I would add Jacobs to that list if we give him a offer.
I'm not sure if those commits he has in the article are accurate but I was really pointing out that if we do land Davis and Wilson along with some of the other highly rated players we are going after we can go to #1 in the rankings.
I always like the comments people say that players will go to Bama to ride the pine.....geez, these people are so clueless. Coach plays the best..Period. Ridley, Fitz, Payne, Harris, Cotton, Harrison etc. were all true freshman that played a good bit, if not A LOT! and a few were considered starters....idiot outsiders looking in!!! Got to love the haters......but some of these kids listen to coaches that lie to them and fans that don't have a clue.
I am absolutely convicted in the belief that this is a major approach on the part of the Freeze`s, Joneses, Malzahns, etc., of the world. In some cases it appears to be working. They have, in some ways, found ways to turn our success ( on the field and in our previous recruiting ) against us. I don`t think they pretend that their respective programs are at our level at all. They`ve turned that into something of a selling point. " They`re loaded, just look at their recruiting classes. We`ll get you on the field and in front of scouts right now, guaranteed."
There is no doubt they are doing this and I'm sure we lose some due to this. We get competitive kids who want to win.
That is the answer right there....Bama gets a lot of competitive kids that want to win, the kids that say I am good enough to get on the field against anyone and have that fighting edge to them......when you sale a kid that you are not good enough to play over there early, but you are good enough here is kind of a, lost to them already mentality, when they play Alabama. This is just another psychological advantage for Bama/Saban in my eyes.
Fitz talked about it on social media, everyone told him he would sit the bench.....that just made him work harder, and gave him that desire to prove everyone wrong. Some are like Fitz and some are not.
It's all they have to sell vs. us. We did the same thing in the Fran / Shula years when we were recruiting against winning teams -- ironically Auburn, Tennessee and Florida. The worm does turn.
If you are reeled in by ," The players at Alabama are too good for you to play right away" nonsense after watching true freshmen play year in and year out then I would prefer you take your "talents" to another school any way.

Honestly, who even cares who is #1 in recruiting?
I would rather finish #10, if those players could put the team over the top to win a national championship.
Team chemistry could mean a lot more than the supposed best high school players. Just ask Coach Urban Meyers what the #1 (and called by many the best recruiting class of all time) meant to him toward the end of his tenure at Florida. The recruits turned out to be some serious punks and nearly cost him his life and ruined his job.

I have always maintained, a top 10 under CNS is as good as a #1, because he will get the most out of the kids who buy in. The hardest thing about that however is the entitlement issue (see 2010).
With all the new names popping up the last week or two,my only concern is are these back up plans to guys we thought we were getting?
Lashley, no. Always recruited but just now showed interest.
Jacobs is a backup, but he burst onto the scene because he never went to any camps. Senior footage is stellar.
Exactly!
We want the kids that aren't afraid of competition.
Our rivals are only helping us...:cool2:
4* OT, good size. If CMC and CNS want him, hope he comes to us. Biggest hurdle: Lives in Mississippi.
Not only does he live in Mississippi, West Point High School is 15 minutes away from MSU's campus.
Derrick Brown tells 247 he's down to a top 3 of Alabama, Auburn, and Tennessee, meaning UGA will zone in on Michail Carter now.
