I don't live in Alabama and am wondering what about him makes you think he will be a good in state recruiter?<BR/><BR/>Also what position would he coach.....dbs?... and how/why is he qualified?<BR/><BR/>I think that Xs..Os and fundamentals coaching are more important than recruiting. Most internet junkies seem to place a heavier emphasis on recruiting(Moes and Joes).<BR/><BR/>Recruiting seems to be fun b/c the novice can read, research and parrot facts, rumors and opinions without actually knowing football in depth.<BR/><BR/>I guess there is no way to do a time-motion-efficiency study to access recruiting effort vs coaching to see which of the 2 has the greatest impact. Both are important, but which makes more of a difference? Michael Crabtree..2 star, Andre Smith....5 star. Tebow..5 star, Okla Qb....3 star. How much is coaching and how much is natural?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-5940578202138032832009-02-10T12:29:00.000-06:002009-02-10T12:29:00.000-06:00Peter - now you're talking about something subject...Peter - now you're talking about something subjective.

I had the WWII class with Dr. Fair and still have the book to this day, I also had the Southern Politics class. Not only do I remember the ball of spit, I also remember him smoking that stinky pipe in the previously mentioned smoking days. In those early days, there was really not much better than heading to the crib asap after class just so I could change into some non-smokey/stinky clothes. <BR/><BR/>On the recruiting front - I'm so pro-Bill Clark to AU that I just can't overemphasize it. I think that would be a HUGE win and set the tables for AU to strike a powerful blow against UAT in the battle for the boys in sthe state.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595436967363733704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-1228013215697797832009-02-10T12:04:00.000-06:002009-02-10T12:04:00.000-06:00ethics go deeper than NCAA rules.ethics go deeper than NCAA rules.Jeremy Eubankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808703226451229719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-46924529190835149622009-02-10T12:03:00.001-06:002009-02-10T12:03:00.001-06:00That's a direct quote from Nick Saban by the way.That's a direct quote from Nick Saban by the way.Seanziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835158656050064217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-6445823600218556252009-02-10T12:03:00.000-06:002009-02-10T12:03:00.000-06:00Personally, I'm a big fan of breakin' rules and be...Personally, I'm a big fan of breakin' rules and behaving unethically.

That's why I love what Trooper said to Tai-Ler Jones.<BR/><BR/>Kids are going to hear a lot of noise from coaches making their pitches. What Trooper said was memorable and cuts through the clutter. Is it enough to make the connection that sparks the relationship? Who knows? But it's a good effort. <BR/><BR/>It's a rare 18 year boy that would buy Crest toothpaste because 4 out of 5 dentists say it's best. They buy it because they think it will make their teeth shine and the girl in their history class will think they are hot. <BR/><BR/>Recruiting is the same way.

My hope is Trooper, Luper and Co. can be salesman and convince these players that better times are ahead for AU, playing time is avaliable at most positions and they can be the players to help turn the program around. A depth chart should be carried around at all times. A quick start to next season would really help. Honestly, if I was an offensive skill-player watching AU the last couple of seasons, I would be looking elsewhere also. They have got to sell their vision.AUfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435620120449569688noreply@blogger.com
