Feb. 2 marked another joyous Signing Day in Tuscaloosa, Ala. For the third time in four years, a major recruiting site (Rivals.com) deemed Alabama's class the nation's best. On the heels of�that past success at 'Bama and two No. 1 classes at LSU, the 2011 haul further enhanced coach Nick Saban's reputation as the sport's most renowned recruiter.

No wonder .... who wouldn't win big (besides Houston Nutt) when you sign 5 classes to everybody else's 4.
All titles during Saban's over signing frenzy years at Bama will have to go down in the history books with an *
This is some seriously good cheating on Bama's part. I'd do it.
No, cheating is when you buy your players' families houses.

Not one major recruiting rules violation since Saban has been there. Has done everything by the rule book. They're doing everything they can to slow him down. His own conference voted to take HCs off the road during spring bc he was out-working them.
So he started setting up video conference/Skype-type visits on laptops right in the homes with those kids and his assistants.
Y'all can take all your mamby-pamby bitching and pissing and moaning and shove it right up your asses. The guy is a relentless, stone-cold killer who doesn't care about anything but winning and developing players and young men.
Bama can't have more than 85 kids on the roster at any given time. What does it tell you that every year 25 of the best HS players in the country want to flock to Tuscaloosa? If he stays through his contract year of '19, he'll add at least one more after tonight and go down as the best coach ever, even if he doesn't catch Bear's 6 national championships. Bear did it with no scholarship limitations.
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".
