even he couldnt keep kids home dude became a choir boy and a follow da rules homie, thats doesnt win at the college level. u have to break rules n be a fkin boss where kids are knocking on ur door to play for u. shannon was a choir boy and is a god staff member when he getting orders on what to do but as the lead man nope. its why butch davis staff looks great and why sabans staff looks great and y every coach whos staff looks great its because of the head guy.
coker looked good shannon lookedgood, saban makes kiffin n mario look good let that sink in. kiffin and mario are going to sucker there next gig because sabans gonna make them money.
just get butch in here and watch the fire works in sfla and nationally. easiest choice in history,age mean nothing.........connection with kid$ is everything.
i kno a kid who used to play fo kansas n the nets recntly,and he was a two star and they gave him everything cars clothes jewlery bills paid. this is the time we live in, and kids like bruce scarlettand most kids are about there brand to build it up. so they verbal early and decommitt later because it makes more noise and people like talking about it. if bruce verbals s. sophomore no one cares two years later. saban and butch can recruit its a gift $$$
