The one thing you have to remember is this, we aren't on those teams level. Well, we are better than USC. The same way we look down on Kentucky and laugh about taking recruits from them, that's what Bama does to everyone especially us.
Clemson gets Ladson over us, OSU gets Battle and countless others from FL, I could go on and on but until we start killing weaker teams on our schedule and then start beating top level teams when we face off, Bama, Ga, OSU, and Clemson they are going to continue to win elite recruiting battles against us.
Sure, we will win a few recruiting battles. And we'll never win them all but our team needs to prove they are elite on the field before the kids that are on the fence about us start to choose us at a larger clip.
