'Bama's GSR figures are significantly better than UM's, so maybe Hand really does care about academics, skunkbears.

Despite parking all of its players in "General Studies" or "Kinesiology", UM still somehow graduates less than 60% of its African-American athletes. Yet its fans have the nerve to complain about academics? GTFO.

I find it absolutely hilarious when someone criticizes an athlete for not caring about their education or academics and their tweets are littered with misspellings

From a healthy college football point of view, I can't imagine feeling good about Alabama continually loading up its roster with anyone they want. It is imperative that this system that Saban is employing is broken. This is not just a Notre Dame comment, but a college football comment. It's worse than Calipari and Kentucky basketball, or Auriemma and Connecticut Women's basketball.

I absolutely hate Florida State for instance, but I'll be rooting for them to bring this thing down. Even if Alabama was beyond reproach and Saban just that much better a manipulator than everybody else, I could never feel joy about the endless assemblyline going down that tunnel.

Eh, they will cycle down eventually (hopefully). I mean, USC has been racking up top flight recruits for about a decade now, and despite that, they are worse than ever. Every program has its ups and downs, but I agree that the pace that they accumulating talent is seriously impressive and that as long as Saban is there; there won't be too big of a drop off in the near future.

Thought this was hilarious, because i think it may be kind of true...

“Now Sabin gets to sit down with one of his 4-star recruits and explain to him why his “scholarship” will not be renewed. “Well, you see…there’s this young man named Da’Shawn Hand that just chose us….and, well – I’d like to wish you good luck in all your future endeavors.”

Alabama's Pitch on Academics Reportedly Helped Tide Land Da'Shawn Hand (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-)

However, it turns out off-the-field allure in Tuscaloosa may have ultimately swayed Hand's decision. 247Sports National Recruiting Director**JC Shurburtt reports university and athletic administration gave the coveted playmaker key*academic assurances during discussions and a campus visit.

All the recent Tide commits/targets have been talking about their "great" academics... simply put, whatever sell job or presentation they're putting on is obviously working.

True, but they are a frequent recruiting rival for kids in the Midwest, who are easier to get and keep by virtue of their proximity. If Michigan falls off, it gets a whole lot easier to recruit Chicagoland, for instance. So even if UM is off the schedule, we should still root against them.

But I get the point ... it doesn't make sense to get too happy about Alabama scoring big recruiting victories.

You really have to question what's going on down there. I've always felt something has to be amiss. You can't simply pull in the classes he has year after year without having help in several places. He did well at LSU, but I don't think his classes rivaled what he's doing at Bama.

OMM.......Unfortunately a loss to FSU wouldn't derailed Bama. It would be looked on as simply a bump in the road.

I spend a lot of time in Michigan and have many MSU and SCUM fan/alumni friends and family of both but after next year i dont think i'll care much how SCUM is doing, they will end up being just like Iowa or Nebraska etc to me...Irrelevant.

Sure - the schollie comes with an engineering degree much the same as a toy comes with the Happy Meal.
