What I want to know is how Alabama has 7 5th year seniors, and how can we do that?

Isd mentions Florida losing momentum with him and may be on the outside looking in

Thread seems pretty crammed with medical hardship stuff, so I will add a question before it gets moved.

Can anyone tell me (or direct me) how many medical hardships ND has had under BK and how many we had under Weis? Really curious because i feel like ND has had more since BK than previous coaches.

No idea but of current players I would say Cam Roberson, Brad Carrico, Danny Spond, Tate Nichols. These all were actually due to injury though....

Anyone care to elaborate? I assume the fading top contender would be Florida?

I wonder if Fournette's recruitment could help us out with Scarbrough? It seems like he'll pick LSU, but I'm holding out hope.

I think any team would love would lovd Bo; however, he has missed significant time every year due to injury.

If he has missed a ton of time this year, then why not sign him and redshirt him until he is fully healthy? That Bama backfield is really crowded, and is he was to play RB at ND we would essentially have him Bryant and TF in 3 different classes. That makes a ton sense to me. Because we all know he will get lost at Bama if he medical redshirts next year. Again my opinion only!

It's hard to envision a program with more sustained success than what Bama's done the last five years. But I agree that Texas is a "better" job on most fronts.
I'm not sure I understand, though, how Saban going to Texas would trigger college football armageddon. Beyond them going back to winning the Big 12 and playing for titles, what are the larger ramifications? They already run their conference and get their pick of high school kids from the biggest football state in the land.

Consider his situation at Alabama, with constant top recruiting, insane facilities, huge assistant payrolls, large staff, and total mental control over most of the state. Alabama is and rightfully should be the favorite in every game they play for the foreseeable future (until something changes).

Now, take that same situation and make the in-state recruiting more than 3 times better (based on NFL players produced per state), and make the school far more attractive to out-of-state recruits (far better academics but you still don't have to go to class, much nicer surroundings, etc). Make the facilities even better (if that's possible). Make the assistant coach salary pool literally a blank check. Make the non-coaching staff even bigger if he wants it.

Texas would give Saban an identical situation to what he had at Alabama, but his resources in terms of money and recruiting would be vastly improved (a terrifying thought). What recruit in the southeast wouldn't want to go play for Saban? He knows SEC country like the back of his hand, those relationships aren't vanishing, and Texas isn't cold, the girls are just as hot, and you play in just as many marquee games. The only guys he'd miss out on would be those who were really attached to a specific school, not the kind of guy who wants an "SEC atmosphere" or whatever. Between those connections, the Texas brand, and the Nick Saban brand, there's a realistic potential he could put together a class with unprecedented amounts of 5* recruits - approaching 10 in a great year wouldn't be out of there picture. The ESPN slobber would get even worse over Texas than it currently is for Bama because this move would probably make the longhorn network at least close to profitable. Basically, the potential is there for Saban to develop the most dominant teams in the history of CFB if he goes to Texas because he'd have the best of everything in the country except for Oregon's uniforms and Standford/ND/Duke/Northwestern nerd academics.
