The internet wasn't as huge as it is know. There was no HUDL or vine or instagram. Kids nowadays are known. In 2000. High school games weren't on ESPN, The Opening wasn't that big and national televised. It's not hard for a kid to get noticed now. That's the difference. Butch probably would've been good and had an eye for kids but so would 10 other schools

There will be a lot of tread left on his tires wherever he winds up. He's like the Boy in the Plastic Bubble.

I believe in Richt and company, but an Alabama offer would be hard to pass up these days. We used to field the best as other teams have through the years and it drew in elite players who wanted to compete against the best. So them flocking there is no surprise.
I'm beginning to wonder if the young up and comers of today view things like some pro teams, in particular the NBA. The NBA, it's just I'm going to pair up with supertar x, y, and z to win a championship.

If you want about as much of a guarantee to win then yeah, go to Bama and front run. To me, I look at that depth chart and look at guys like SBB a couple of years ago who was a nationally recruited safety who didn't make it at Bama and only spent 1 year there before transferring because he drowned in the depth chart.

Who was it that Bowden recruited where Bowden told him he would never see the field if he came to Miami? The reply was basically why do you want me if you don't think I can outplay Miami?
Some spill the accurate wording and player. Still, I understand looking at depth charts, but if you can't see the field, all those accolades in high school were meaningless and you in all likelihood would've been done playing in college.

Point I was trying to make is kid will likely start here as a true freshman. And it's not like this is D'Onofrio's system that puts him in some bad spots. Diaz's defense actually is a dream to play in and you'll be put in a position to succeed.

SMH no.
Every recruit who has spent three years at Bama has a championship ring.
Saban might be the best coach all time.
They send so many to league and car dealerships.
FSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, etc are dirty.
Saban doesn't need to.

Bama is very corrupt.
They have a good coach to capitalize on their corruption now.

Those schools can't touch Alabama. This just didn't start , it's been filthy for decades.

Bama is on another level when it comes to cheating at this point. Heard a story (could be true, maybe not) about a RB from North Florida that went there and was given a new car, while his mom was given a house. This guy played small time college ball and his co-worker's son played at UNC under Butch. They are somewhat connected to high school in the Jax area, so I tend to believe they know what they are talking about when they told me about the kid. The NCAA really needs to step up. when they do though, it will be of epic proportion.
That said, and mentioned many times on this board, recruits read these boards. The fans do worse to recruiting than the games many times. The recruits are smart enough to see the team is undermanned, but playing hard. They see opportunity to play early, but they are also poisoned when they come on boards like this and read page after page of how everything sucks.
I remember fans hating Larry Coker as OC when we didn't have the horses. Give him Dorsey, Johnson, Portis and a great OL and he is a genius. Yeah, I know how the rest of the story worked out, but you get my point. Even in the NFL you see great minds that cannot get an offense moving if they do not have the talent.
Me, I was a BBB guy, but Richt is now my coach and I think he deserves a chance to prove himself. Fan are doing him and the players on this team, and recruits committed a diservice by all of this constant *****ing.
Take a step back, catch your breath and realize what is going on. We are a depleated team that will get better. The front 7 on D looks great, young and hungry. Give me some D backs. D wiins championships and we are not that far away if we can get a few players and stay healthy. On the other side of the ball we need help, but we have a few OL committed. Get them, a few WR's and a top flight RB and lets see what Richt can do calling plays.
Win or lose today I love my Canes.
To any So. Fla. (State of Miami) recruits, this programs was built on players like you. Stay home, play in front of your family and friends and build this program back to the powerhouse it once was. If we can keep your talent in So Fla, we can dominate for years to come.

You guys are hilarious!!!! So every elite SoFla that chooses Bama over Miami is getting paid!!! Lol How about he just wants to win? How about he wants to play against the best and play in the best conference? How about he wants to play in more than one big game a year? I think Miami might be the only school that has 1 big game rival a year . I'm not saying Bama isn't dirty but **** we did the same thing in the 90's and early 2000's.
