People would rather deflect than own their decisions. As a former Cane, it's probably tough to say Bama is their best option. Maybe Little believes what he's selling.. but I don't. Bama is just better, top to bottom, period.
Things I don't believe:
Saban is noticeably outworking Diaz
Parents want their kids to "get away"
Miami offering a kid first matters
Loyalty to "The Crib" is a factor
Bagman is main factor why kids leave
Things I do believe:
Winning championships sells
Playing in almighty $EC sells
Bama's...
Sr. is just laying down the excuse groundwork for pushing kid to Bama. I hate Manny but this is pretty obvious. Heck even Choad had enough backbone to embrace it. Weak!
