Jesus Christ, I've seen fawning oral sex on Saban before, but this piece of pornography takes the proverbial cake. He gobbled it down, gagged it back up, spit it in his hand, rubbed it on his face, wiped it off with a paper towel and then shoved the towel up his ass.

What I did find interesting, however, was one line that illustrates how "number one class" becomes a self-perpetuating myth.
...if Nick offers a kid, his [recruiting] stars will jump up. But no one at Alabama is concerned about stars or what so-called recruiting experts are saying about players.
So say Markatez Bizafleen is a three star, Saban comes along and shows interest, dicks explode at Rivals and ESPN and Bizafleen becomes a four or five star. That happens with four or five other kids and all of a sudden a class that is in reality filled with two and three stars is bumped up to a "Number One" class because Bizafleen and pals are four and fives. That's creating something that doesn't exist in the real world. It's perception over reality.

I would love to shutout the bammers this year. Oh lawd how I wish.

I can't say I know it for a fact, but I can say it with full confidence:
The majority of Alabama's early commitments for their 2008 class were severely inflated in order to create hype for the first full Nick Saban class. This led to national exposure and a freight train of excitement that helped get them the #1 class.
It's not about inflating every kid on their commitment list. It's about ensuring that their class has excitement and that the big dogs still believe Alabama is the top program.
I think this happens for most big schools, honestly. More so for Alabama. The guy that got the online recruiting game rolling was a Bama fan (Lucky from Rivals).

"Lucky" was the recruiting analyst that told a uat OLineman that they were going to move him to Center, eventhough he'd never played that position before, because that move would bump him up to the #1 Center, which gives extra points in their recruiting equation.
"Lucky" has since moved on to create 247/Sports (or whatever it's called). The days after he and a couple others left with him, one of the Rivals guys stated that after the move their evaluation would be better and wouldn't inflate one particular team's prospects...which as we've all seen is still being done to a certain extent, not as bad as it was during the "Lucky" days though. Btw, USC is the #1 recruiting class per Rivals and Scout...uat is #1 per 24/7 & RECSPN

#1 one in some arbitrary recruiting service list. #2 in my toilet. That's UAT.
