Notre Dame and Alabama are in position to win it all thanks in no small part to their coaching staff's ability to assemble a great roster through recruiting and development.

Want to build a roster? Do what Saban did when he got to Bama...
Sign classes of 32, 27 and 29 in your first three years.
That's how you build a roster.

32 is on the high side, but I don't see a major problem with 27 or 29. All programs have some attrition every year.

Yep.
If only every school signed 30 kids a year.
I know, I know. The numbers always work out.

They had the room to do it. Show me where 13 kids had their scholarships revoked and I will get on board.
If we want to debate Oversigning, though, I'd prefer that it not take place in the comments section of this article.

I didn't say it would be ok to sign 30 players every year. But a class of 27 or even 29 once in awhile is not necessarily unreasonable. Every year? Yeah.

Fair enough.
But that "room" didn't magically appear.

LULZ butthurt.
Bama signed 32 in '08, but only 27 made it to campus. Three didn't qualify and two went the MLB route.

Nobody that argues against oversigning even understands non-qualifiers and JUCO placements. I don't even think the SEC office folks do.

Only 27?
Wow. So few.
And had those three qualified and the two not gone the MLB route? Then what?

Russell has started every game this year. In doing so he became the only FR CB to ever start every game at ND.

Saban knew which players will and won't qualify. We also knew Hood and Ray were going to play baseball.
Also, as JC pointed out, we signed Cody out of JUCO. Not like he is still on the team and hasn't been for two years now.
Only have eight players left from the '08 class.

You going to look into Urb's recruiting practices?
You should shut up because all the $hit you talk is going to bite you right in the ass.

Urban Meyer is your coach and you are a fool.
