3. And everyone else says that the Alabama Crimson Tide has the #1 class
ESPN has no credibility and no class.

4. I happened onto a scouting page yesterday looking up the Tyrelle Pryor kid
GO TO OHIO STATE TYRELLE!!!

Okay nayway I was looking through scout.com (I think it was) and I saw Alabama several times. I guess Saban really is that good at recruiting. Georgia again is in the top 5-they always are. Sooner or later Richt is going to have to start hoisting trophies are the alums are going to get tired of this (UGa has been a minor league NFL team for about the last 20 years).

11. Pryor
I've never heard of a player announcing their decision after national signing day. Has that ever happened before? I thought that was against the rules.

By the way, are you David Letterman? The last few nights Alan Kalter, Letterman's announcer, has been referring to him as "underpants," so of course I thought of you. :)

5. recruiting classes are not neccesarily that great
given how often 'skills' players bail early for the draft. And it is very hard to tell in high school who is going to develop over three-four years on the line especially.

12. I agree, to an extent
But I'd rather start off with the consensus top-rated class, than the 18th and 25th ranked classes that 'Bama had been landing under Mike Shula. With the kind of talent Saban landed this year, I'll be shocked if Alabama is not competing for a national championship in the relatively near future -- at least if he keeps it up.

7. We had over a dozen Alabama fans on our Hawkeye website
yesterday. Of course I don't judge an entire fan base by a few knuckleheads, but I also don't understand why I'm supposed to be bummed because some running back chose Alabama over my school. Congrats to whomever gets off on recruiting rankings. You deserve it.

24. USC and Florida have dominated the last three years..........
Florida having finished #3 this year, #1 last year and #2 the year prior. USC's last 3 groups have ranked about the same. Also, Florida, unlike many schools, has not lost a single recruit in 3 seasons to not qualifying academically. Many schools, lose many which makes these early rankings meaningless. Florida state, for example has been ranked high in Feb. the last 3 seasons yet have lost 13 players to non qualifying.

By most accounts Miami will lose 3 to 5 highly ranked guys thus making their class ranking bogus.

16. and I didn't mention "class" in that post
So, I never mentioned "Saban" and "class" in the same post, as you claimed.

Saban has an abrasive personality. I'll give you that. (Seems like you would like that.)

But the man can recruit football players. I think he's building a powerhouse. And as an Alabama fan, I like that.

19. A Miami U. person talking about a coach having class is a riot considering...
Randy "The Liar" Shannon ..."coaches"... Miami U. He tried to defend all the shootings and violence in Miami that Miami U. players have sustained by saying a Florida player, Walter Odum,.... "his best friend" was murdered in Gainesville while going to U. of Florida. Except, Walter Odum died at the age of 38 in Miami of Cancer.

Shannon's a stupid liar. I don't know which is worse, the liar part of the Miami U. coach or how stupid he is to think anyone couldn't check the facts on Walter Odum.

Which is worse, Miami U fans'''' the lying part or the stupidity part of your "coach?"

23. Only an idiot brags about his teams recruiting wins............
especially when the team wins only 4 or 5 games on the actual field of play. (Se UVA 48- Da C 0 at The OB) And before you count your National Recruiting Title, about 3 to 5 of those moron's you signed will not meet the lowly minimum NCAA Academic Standards.

And what did I say that was racist? Oh, right. I called your lyin' stupid ass coach, a liar. Sorry, you racist idiot. Calling a liar a liar is not racist regardless of the liars race. Calling someone stupid who is so stupid regardless as to their race is not racist, either.

Oh, and Florida has now signed the #3, #1 and #2 ranked recruiting classes consecutively and that's without one single signee failing to meet NCAA Standards. One good class means nothing.

And I never said Da C wouldn't recruit well. Any school in Florida will always recruit well. Even if their coach is a liar and an idiot and will be fired by this seasons end.


PS. Bet you can't wait until Da C gets to play up there in "Pro Player Underwear-Dolphin-Joe Robbie-what-ever-it's-called-this-week Stadium."
