That's not true, Bama recruits more players in one year than most schools do in three. They just have to cut most of them by training camp.

"Only the ignorant recruiting fans think that's a big deal. A lot of the great players won't even make their commitments until December and January.The race in recruiting almost always goes to the tortoise, not the hare
|
The Lemming forgot to add that the reason why he thinks these guys are great, is the fact that the longer they remain uncommitted, the more money he can make by speculating on them.
The race in recruiting goes to the program that gets the most out of the talent that they sign, regardless of what the so-called recruiting gurus think. |

The way I read him is "everybody knows that the best players don't sign until the end, and those who don't think so are just ignoramuses."
That may have held a small amount of truth 4 or 5 years ago, but nowadays it's not only a faulty way of thinking, but you could argue that it's, well, ignorant.

Yes, but only 1 of the committed Rivals 100 has committed to ND, so the rest must be better. Well, except for the fact that ND has 2 committed kickers, unrated by Rivals, both 5-stars if you ask Lemming... |

USC's is really impressive(going by Rivals ratings). 13 of their 15 commitments are in the top 250. We have 14.
