This is only plausible in an environment where the NCAA doesn't enforce against Alabama. So, I mean...current state.

They would likely view us as AAA. But I'd envision them stashing valued recruits in small, out of the way schools. Putting them in a Miami, FSU, or Tennessee runs the risk that: 1) The program gets too good on its own 2) Player doesn't want to leave

Supposedly the Gators were after Marve towards the end of the 2008 season, and that initial huge group of schools that Randy refused to allow him to transfer to was to cover for his unwillingness to be used as a feeder team for Urban Meyer. Fast forward to last year. The Gators got Lingard to...

In essence, wasn't this what Randy Shannon was worried that Florida was trying to do with us in 2009 when they supposedly were after Marve?

Yes - Alabama and a few other schools could literally recruit any player that they wished on any college program throughout the course of their college careers.

I used a Group of 5 school in this scenario because I thought it would be easier to pry him away from such a school versus let's say, Georgia or Tennessee.

Yes, they were. I always presumed that there was simple enhanced incentives to allow for that. This would be taking it a step further.

If they - or another school - adopted that model I could see them becoming a much more powerful version of what Kansas State used to bring to the table. Basically they sign only 5-8 players out of high players a year (certainly a QB and a RB would be part of that). Then the other 20-17 spots are...

Really? This idea popped up when another poster today posted that Yahoo article that suggested lowering scholarship numbers to increase parity. Someone had responded that they would find a way around it, and this was one way that came to mind.

I was thinking about this possibility today, and I would not be surprised to see this happen and be overlooked just like everything else with enhanced recruiting. I'll use Alabama as the theoretical example. What if....as a means of getting around the current 85 person scholarship limit, or any...
