You are an arrogant condescending mother fucker...
You're just looking for something to be a little bitch about. Like I said, AU is seeing some success in recruiting right now. You would have to be an idiot to argue otherwise. However, Alabama is still bringing in talent. Its not like the 2008 class when Alabama totally choked off AU. As long as Alabama is bringing in talent, and if AU happens to be doing the same, then I'm fine with that.
Part two of my post should be fairly obvious. Signing some talent is just step 1. AU is knocking that out of the park right now. Step 2 is putting them into your program, and getting a result on the field. Look at the recruiting rankings over the past few years. For the 2007 class, Tennessee was ranked #3, LSU #4, South Carolina #6, Notre Dame #8, UGA #9. The 2008 classes? Notre Dame #2 (as Prowler will quickly point out, they were #1 after you take out non-qualifiers), UGA #7, Michigan #10. Even though the 2009 class would probably have the least impact on a team out of the other classes listed, LSU #2, UGA #6, FSU #7, Michigan #8, Tennessee #10. How exactly has that translated for those schools?
It comes down to evaluation and coaching. A bunch of guessing. Many teams have proven that just because they can sign them, it doesn't mean they can do anything with them. Its still to early to pass judgement on whether or not they work out after they get on campus. Thats the way it is at any school. But if you can get them on campus, thats half the battle.
