How many kids has Saban scooped from Dade, Broward or Palm Beach since Amari Cooper? Eddie Jackson? That's about it.....
Two reasons.....
First, if these kids wanna get out of SFLA and experience the "college life" Gainesville and Tallahassee are much closer and serve the same purpose.
Second, as crazy as it sounds.....Bama does not grease street agents or family members anymore (they used to). They have the best college football organization ever created (combination of coaches, facilities, exposure, etc.). Kids are falling over one another to go there. LSU pays....thats the only reason SFLA kids go there. Cut off the $....you would never see a Dade, Broward or Palm Beach kid go to Baton Rouge again.
I don't even pay attention to Bama when we are recruiting against them for a SFLA kid.
