SIGNING DAY PART ONE: AUBURN GOES ALL IN TO REACH YOU

PrintNews moving fast is here. Meanwhile, Gene Chizik would like to have a word with you, recruit.
PSSST.
Hey. Recruit. HEY.
Up here.
We say "All In" a lot at Auburn. This ain't just talkin', son. I went all-in to this HVAC duct to talk to you one last time. I had to go through the living room to get here. Was that real teak? Well, I usually have to fake being impressed, but I am truly impressed. It looks like slaughtered an entire rain forest to get one living room of quality material. Is your father a recruiting coordinator in the SEC West? He already understands how this process works, it seems. He should consider a career switch.
You also have a family of bats in your attic. I'm gonna need some shots in the next day or two. I only know one man who survived rabies, and that was Ted Roof. "Alive" may be a debatable term there. Forget I said it.
I just want to remind you Auburn is a family. You know who else is a family? The fine people at Clark & Son AC Repair. With over 75 years in the Auburn, Alabama area servicing air conditioners and cooling essentials, they taught us a valuable lesson: crawl through any duct necessary to keep your family intact. I'd also like to thank Golden Flake Yellawood Coca-Cola Kroger and Nations Bank for getting me here.
So I---
Um.
Darnit.
I may be stuck. Please send Curtis Luper and the jaws of life. If you do not have the jaws of life, please send Brian Van Gorder. He can probably chew through this vent as long as we tell him there's another job in it.
Trooper. TROOPER. CODE BOWDEN. WE HAVE A CODE BOWDEN. ENGAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR COVERT LAST-MINUTE RECRUITING PITCH. REPEAT: ENGAGE THE FICUS PROTOCOL.
YO DAWG.
TROOP HERE.
THAT'S MY DAWG I'M UP IN THIS FICUS TREE HOLLERIN' AT YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE NO SPIDERS UP IN THIS PIECE DO YOU?
CAUSE TROOPER IS DEFINITELY NOT HOLLERIN' AT NO SPIDERS.

Miss America listened to the critics too much and got away from being a beauty pageant. They yielded that to Miss USA which seems to have the dominant market position now.

But what about the kids that committed early and has honored his commitment. Now, because a 5 star recruit chooses Bama, he may loose that scholarship at the last minute.

They aren't the only ones
Miami has ~28 signees with another 3 commits that have yet to turn in their LOIs
3 QBs signed
4 CBs signed (with another likely on the way)
5 WRs signed (with another likely on the way)
Admittedly, every single one of those players thinks they’ll beat everyone else to make the roster – but it’s still incredibly silly

Whereas Alabama has to cut/purge/send threeve kids to Troy State now.
Yeah, probably.
I have no clue
but since they’ve signed 67 players in the last 3 seasons, they would have had to have lost 18 players they signed in that time and not have any red shirts in order to have room for 31

Miami's situation is a little different
Miami only signed 16 recruits last year, and 7 of this year’s class is early enrollees who’ll be added to that class. That puts them at 21 for this class.
It still may be shady depending on how many total scholarships they have and whether or not they’re pushing 85, but it’s not blatant disregard for the rules

If that's in the 60s before the 7 early enrollees
then it would be in the ‘close to fucking kids over’ range if they took 31 between early enrollees and regular signees

Then they've had an insane amount of attrition
because I counted 67 signees in the past 3 years (aka no chance of senior graduation in that count)
Indeed they did.

I keep forgetting that they sign players that don't qualify (I was seeing 19 signees from last season)
The point is the number of players they are taking in a single position in a single year is a bit silly
This is another thing that makes me angry.
If you sign a kid who doesn’t qualify, that scholarship should count against the team for the year. The NCAA standards are laughably low- coaches should know about a kid’s academics well enough to know if he’s going to be OK in May, when they’re signing letters in February.
My loyal heart avows no other.
"While you may not give a shit, @mlebowski313 is an unstoppable force of nature [at Words With Friends]" -T-Jax
The SEC forbade back-counting and capped signees at 25 as of June
Yes, it sucks to the kids Saban pulled the rug out under that he won’t take their verbal commitment, but at least we’ve moved from “dirty tactics only used by SEC schools” to “dirty tactics schools everywhere use.”
Kentucky was the beneficiary of one of those Bama kids, by the way. Saban switched his offer to a greyshirt offer and he changed over to UK.
Sposed to be SEC
Did not know that, that's a step in the right direction
Now the only thing left is for everyone to go to the Big 10 rule (which ND also follows) in that if you go over 85 scholarships on signing day, you have make it known how you plan to get under that number.
"Well they can't test for LSD, so I started frying on weekends"
At least make it for more than one, if the kid has to make a multi-year commitment.
Scholly should match commitment time

The 25 signees rule is a big one. And a good one.
It really pushes coaches away from signing players who might turn up academically ineligible. Used to be that coaches would sign 28ish (last few years) or even more (before that) knowing they’d lose a handful to academics and could squeeze the rest out. With a 25 player cap, if they sign a player and he’s ineligible come May, they have an unused scholarship with hardly anyone uncommitted in the class to give it to. Kentucky turned away 2 of our better D-line commits this week who certainly would’ve been signed under the 28 scholarship rule.
Sposed to be SEC

Yeah, almost an identical situation of Daryl Collins last year
Kid commits to Bama. Kid gets hurt. Kid offered guaranteed redshirt (Collins) or greyshirt (Taylor). Kid decides against it, goes to UK.
Unfortunately, the result of that for Collins was to get a season-ending injury before he’d even played a game, so he missed his 1st year anyway. Tough luck. Hopefully the injuries don’t mess up the kids too much.

Here's the thing.
I want Notre Dame to win. I want that pretty badly. But I do not want them to “win at all costs.” I’d much rather turn the program continue to be a perennial bowl team that can make the BCS when the circumstances align than hire someone like Nick Saban who blatantly dances around the edges of the rules in exchange for slightly higher levels of “winning.”
Given the choice of being Alabama where Medical Scholarships are handed out at twice the rate of the next highest school or turning into Stanford where we only win when the right coach with the right QB show up at the same time. I’ll gladly take the latter, without hesitation.

If you don't qualify, you don't qualify
It’s the coaches’ responsibility to target kids that will qualify or let them know ahead of time all the requirements for entry into the school.
But why not have a coach who blatantly dances around the edges of rules, occasionally steps way over them, and still loses?

The big/only reason the SEC is so far ahead right now
Is because Texas, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia High Schools HS football is way, way ahead of almost every state in the Great Lakes/NE Region.
If NY gave the same amount of shit in HS football that Alabama did, NY would be the 2nd best CFB prospect state in the country.

I understand it, the problem in GA was that the Atlanta private
schools tend to dominate everything (especially for single A competition) and enough of the south GA folks pitched fits about it for long enough. It’s not as big of deal in AA-AAAAA because there are city schools who compete with the privates.

The fact that you look at is "roster management" and not "subjecting the futures of teenagers to a coach's whim" is pretty much the disconnect between our two lines of thinking
Neither, as an intellectual exercise, is inherently wrong, but they are at opposite ends of a continuum and there’s likely little common ground between the two.

Got it, so because Alabama isn't the absolute worst, then it's all good
No individual, except Craig James, is completely devoid of merit or completely free from criticism. In my opinion, the negatives of Saban (or Urban Meyer, Pete Carroll, etc) far outweigh the benefits. ND’s worst decade in history was probably better than 2/3rds of D-1A’s best decade. We don’t need to sacrifice any more of our integrity. (we’ve given up quite a bit of that the last 10 years)
"Well they can't test for LSD, so I started frying on weekends"
Stempke, this grows tiresome.
Lectures from the highly rational never excitable Notre Dame fanbase doesn’t just border on the absurd…they invade the absurd, annex it, and take over the culture. Perhaps Notre Dame can interest the NCAA in fundamental reforms to the system—a system that everyone on this site with two gray cells recgnizes is deeply flawed. I would take your complaint more seriously if Alabama’s performance on the field was just a product of “roster management”, but it is not. Saban and his staff are elite X’s and O’s coaches, too.
When Notre Dame puts its natural recruiting advantages together with an elite staff—as we have seen in the past, but not recently, the results follow. It has zero to do with how many kids are at the mercy of a coach’s whim as you said above—it matters on what they do with the ability and how they develop it. As others have pointed out, if Saban were the actual Sith lord—the line to play for him would be much, much shorter.

In fairness to the doctors
Brees nuked his shoulder, and shoulder injuries are messy and unpredictable. Culpepper’s knee injuries, which gruesome, were injuries that have been treated and are somewhat routine. No one knew Culpepper’s rehab would involve eating.
James Andrews did Brees's surgery
He said most injuries of that type take 4 or 5 pins to put the shoulder back together. Brees needed 13
"Well they can't test for LSD, so I started frying on weekends"
He tore his labrum and wrecked his rotator cuff
Pitchers who tear their labrums usually don’t make it back. It’s not a common surgery like ACL repair/replacement. Throw in the rotator cuff and there were real questions about him getting healthy. While it’s fun to mock the Dolphins I feel like there’s been some revisionism over the injuries Brees suffered.
Wasn't trying to mock the doctors
It just shows that when you are subject to more rigid roster rules your decisions get more difficult and tougher calls need to be made.

you have to teach the system, and it has to be good enough to stop offenses.
take the Arkansas game. Alabama adjusted and started jumping the option routes with their safeties based on pre snap reads. I could be playing safety and would have had picks. My mother could have been playing the defense and making those picks. they are extremely talented, but they’re already in the place they need to be based on the scheme he teaches them. Now Corner?

He's far from the best
And far from the worst. Top 25 Defensive Coach. Just because LSU shit and pissed all over themselves doesn’t mean he coached an awesome game.

there's no better defensive coach in the game. scouts are reticent to recommend bama guys in the draft because it's so hard to separate the talent from the system they learn in college.

College wise, yes, he’s far and away the best in the game. When I think of best defensive coaches I’m thinking all levels. And his stint in the NFL shows him he’s really nothing special at all in terms of a defensive coach. For college though? Obviously it’s beyond revolutionary.

There are many, many schematic geniuses out there.
My point is that when they have elite talent to go with it you get something special. By any measure, the 2011 Alabama defense was a one-in-a-generation unit. I did not say Saban was the best, I said he and his staff are elite. They’re 48-6 over the last four. That’s pretty good.

He has the luxury of having the best defensive players in the nation

Having the best players is the best system there is.
Offer not valid in Tallahassee and Coral Gables.
And this is ultimately the point
Systems are predicated on the talent you put into them; you can’t judge their quality in at some hypothetical amount of talent, and you certainly can’t judge them based on talent that you deliberately identify not be ideal for their system.
It’s silly to argue Saban isn’t a great coach because he might not be a good one with crappy talent. Simpler example: Gus Malzahn or Chip Kelly. Why would we judge their ability as a coach by what they would hypothetically do with Wisconsin’s players (great but don’t fit the system) or Eastern Michigan’s players (just bad). It’s absurd. It’s the opposite way you need to look at it.
Sposed to be SEC
The thing is
Malzahn has had awesome success with vastly shitty players compared to what he had at Auburn with the same system.

IMO
its a hell of a lot easier to have success on offense due to “system” or whatnot than defense. There’s a lot more reaction/recovery on defense than offense. You need elite athleticism on defense, offense you can hide it to an extent in some systems.

Never once did I claim Saban's only advantage was roster management, that's something you're projecting on to my statements but since it's signing day that is the discussion at hand
I would never argue that he isn’t a great coach. You don’t win that many big games without being able to coach talent Charlie Weis has shown us that it takes more than talent.. He takes advantage of the loop holes in the system, that allow him more failures. By signing more players he’s allowed to be wrong more often than others. It is “what is not expressly forbidden is okay” attitude that turns me off. You’re opinion is obviously different. You’re willing to put up with the warts that come with Saban in order to reap the rewards of his coaching ability. I’m not.
There are institutions working to change the system, Notre Dame is one of them, they’ve been very vocal against oversigning. The Big 10 has been on the forefront of closing this loophole for a long time. Some schools take advantage of weaknesses in the system, others hold themselves to more than the base requirement.
Obviously, no one is going to change their mind over posts on a message board. You and the other Bama fans that have come to his defense feel the trade-off between the “not necessarily illegal” practices is worth it have Saban’s ability. I, me, myself, not my fanbase, I’m not speaking for anyone else, do not think that tradeoff is worth it.
To me, I don’t care enough about increasing the level’s of Notre Dame’s winning percentage in order hire someone like Saban or Meyer, no matter how good of a coach he is.

and, if the stories of some players are to be believed, they quit listening to him at one point and started calling plays out of Pitino’s playbook.

Having watched that interview, it wasn't a desire to play at Michigan- it was a desire to take a visit to Michigan.
His dad wouldn’t even allow that.
And yeah, I knew what he was referencing

Howeva, he has been on local radio in the Detroit area in the past (three or four years ago) telling the story differently. He said (at that time) that he told his dad he wanted to go to Michigan to play for coach Schembechler and that’s when he was told LOL NOSIR FU
either way it played out it was an interesting anecdote.

agreed.
And he isn’t much of a Slappy, IMO. People on the M blogs want to call him a homer and paint him with the same brush as some of your other “analysts” and I just laugh and die a little inside. Love Spielman, he’s a great example of what this rivalry should be about. This rivalry was built on mutual respect and its devolved into just partisan hackery and blind hatred. Don’t get me wrong, I hate you guys, but I can respect when you do stuff right.

I don't follow recruiting enough to know where people are leaning, or going- other than the actual numbers.
Having 24 LOIs and 23 spots means that the school has to account to the conference where that spot is coming from, which means they should already know that someone is transferring or quitting.
My guess is that Adam Griffin goes back to being a walk-on, as he expected to walk on last year, and then Henderson ended up going elsewhere, so he was given that scholarship for a year.
