Read an article in the AJC this morning that got my attention. Remember the young fellow that was injured and basically had his scholarship, I will call it modified, rather than pulled. Lots of hoopla about Saban and his tactics. With all of the media hype on that situation, one would think that these young, skilled players would be wary of Saban and his way of doing business.
Goes to show that a winning program can pick and choose, and will do so as long as the rules allow it. One of the top running backs in Georgia commits to Alabama. Check his reasons for wanting to play in Tuscaloosa. Football has changed over the years, but some aspects have remained in place for more years than I can remember.
An example could be Notre Dame. Back in the day, it was automatic that a young football player if called upon to attend Notre Dame, was almost an automatic. Why? Tradition and winning football games. That is what Saban has going for him in Tuscaloosa. Young man walks the halls where Bear Bryant and now Saban patrols, hard not to see the 13 Championships that are displayed. Couple of National Championships in the past three years. Those championships come from hard work and having the right coaches in the right area. That is not a slam at anyone, it is merely saying that the leader of the football team not only talks the talk, he walks the walk.
Keep talking about building that fence around the State of Georgia, yet I still see these skilled athletes getting on board with that group in Tuscaloosa. Will we lose two more of the top football players in the country to Saban, beginning to look like that might be the case.
