    I can’t say it better.

    Now more than ever, recruiting matters. I’ve been a semi-pro TBSer for 20 years and even *I* stopped paying attention during Ty and rolled my eyes during much of Sark.

    But these days we have a coach that I think is a top 5 guy. If we get top 10 talent, we are going to be great for years.

    We know we have the jockey, now we need the horses. The thing is, without the coach recruiting doesn’t make much of a difference (unless you already have good talent and add a kid named Cam, Jimbo or Deshaun).

    We should not forget Saban’s record at LSU (which is a tier 2 program just like us)...

    2000: 8-4
    2001: 10-3
    2002: 8-5
    2003: 13-1 (Natty)
    2004: 9-3

    Saban doesn’t let ANYTHING slip. He doesn’t put up with coaches who aren’t top shelf in both coaching AND recruiting.

    If we get top 10 classes, we will convert those into consistent dominance in the P10N.

    I’m glad Race has come around. Recruiting doesn’t matter when you have the wrong coach. When you have the right one, it’s all important.

    People forget that Saban's 2003 LSU was kind of bull shit. Pete Carroll would have pushed his shit in that year.
