I don't think his coaching prowess is being questioned. He better learn to recruit in the southeast real quick....
this has come up numerous times regarding his recruiting abilities. first off, KD and his staff was able to develop lesser talent to compete in a Power 5 conference. as documented, he is 3-0 vs Lanning, 2-0 vs Sark, 1.0 vs Lincoln and 12-2 overall vs Top 25 teams in his brief stint at Washington. those stats are nothing to sneeze at esp. since Bama loss to one of those teams this past season!
fans are forgetting when discussing recruiting in the South as if that's all Bama does. it's true, the bulk of our classes are in the Southeast of the country. BUT the last 15 years, Bama has become a national brand and Saban was all over the map searching and getting players from the four corners of the country and even outside America to come to Tuscaloosa. some of the best to ever wear the Crimson Tua, Najee, Bryce, Sayin and Ingram to name a few were outside the South!
which brings me to my last point. if he can develop lesser talent, imagine what he can do with elite talent??? I am not worried one bit about recruiting let alone in the portal era.
