Alabama’s Nick Saban mails 105 recruiting letters in ONE DAY to Atlanta RB

6:36 pm February 18, 2012, by Michael Carvell

Alabama’s Nick Saban is considered by some to be the “hardest working man” in the recruiting biz.

The postmaster of Tuscaloosa, Ala., might be next after Nick.

Alabama made national headlines when it mailed 105 recruiting letters in a day to a running back from Atlanta this week, Norcross High School junior Alvin Kamara.

Usually, Saban puts stamps on only about 4-6 letters per day to Kamara.

“Yeah, I got home and they were failing out of my mailbox,” Kamara said. “It was crazy but I liked it.”

It was yet another creative and innovative recruiting tactic by Saban, who finished with the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class for 2012 earlier this month.

What’s really amazing about Alabama’s 105-letter bombardment to Kamara is that – while he has yet to finish opening them all up – none of dozens he has already ripped into are duplicates. Each letter has a new message or selling point about Alabama’s football dynasty.

“It’s cool when a school shows that much interest in you,” Kamara said. “It definitely caught my attention. But they’re not my favorite college yet or anything like that. I just thought it was cool they’re showing me that much attention.”

One last note: Many UGA fans have pointed out that in the photo taken of Kamara holding his bouquet of 105 Alabama letters, he just so happened to be wearing shorts with a UGA logo.

“It was a coincidence and nothing more than that,” Kamara said with a laugh. “Everybody has been blowing it up about that, saying ‘Oh, that could be a sign he’s going to Georgia.’ It was nothing like that. I just happened to have those shorts on at that time. I don’t even have a Top 5 list of schools yet.”

The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Kamara has around a dozen early offers, including UGA, Clemson, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Mississippi State and Maryland. Kamara was virtually unknown until proving himself to be one of the top players in a junior all-star game in December. Kamara was considered “the fastest player in pads” at the game, with one scout saying “0 to 60 mph in a few steps.”

If Chiz did this, there would be 3 weeks of Finebaum callers guffawing at how desperate Auburn is, and how we have to stoop to silly gimmicks to get recruits.

It would have been too hard to clean up the kitchen or put a shirt on before that picture was taken...

...not to mention the daily emails from Evan Woodberry to the NCAA to check and see if this is some kind of infraction.

"The equivalent to texting a girl 105 times in one day, (saying that you want her bad)".....when you already have a girlfriend named Al Tennpenny.

When I first heard this story, I assumed it was an innocent error in their recruiting department.

They purposefully did this?

What's worse is that this type of shit works?

"Yeah, well, you know, Alabama, know what I'm saying, they sent me 105 letters. Auburn only sent me, you know, like 45, so I'm gone go to Alabama. Roll Tide."

Each one, if I recall from the story, was a unique message or selling point on bammer. I don't know if l'il nickie signed each one or not. But, as stated, when Sabear does it, he's the hardest working crooter in football, when Chiz does it, Auburn is desperate , cheesy, or cheating.

We can have some fun with this....

Dear Alvin Kamara,

Alabama has one of the most unique cheers in the country. "Roll Tide" is an expression that means "Fuck you" "Go to hell" and "Fuck yeah."

We hope you will consider this when making your college choice.

Signed,

Nick Saban

Dear Alvin Kamara,

We at Alabama value class, which is why we sing "Rammer Jammer" after every football victory. It lets the other schools know that at Alabama, we have class while at their school, they have losses. It lets everyone know that order is restored.

Signed,

Nick Saban

Dear Alvin Kamara,

If you come to Alabama, you can screw and beat these girls all you want.

Their daddy will just give you a "Roll Tide" while taking them to the hospital.
