Alabama head coach Nick Saban never stops recruiting. It was this part of the game that Saban says he missed when he dipped his toe in the NFL waters now almost a decade ago. Nick Saban is arguably the best in the land at this phase of the game, with top recruiting classes stacked atop one another like fine china.
Currently the Tide has 13 verbal commitments toward its 2014 recruiting class. I found if funny that among those is the top pro-style quarterback in the land, whom Saban and company stole right out from under the nose of Oklahomaās Bob Stoopsā¦the Soonerās head man who this spring made some stupid assertions about the SECās dominance, that itās all smoke and mirrors. How perfect that the SECās top program took Stoopsā lunch money and prize QB a short time after.
Within days, Alabama landed who many believe is the top wide receiver of the 2014 class, Cincinnati, Ohioās Derek Kief. It seems that all of Urban Meyerās huffing and puffing about Alabama and the SEC couldnāt keep this top talent in-state. Simply, right now, whoever they are, wherever they are, if Nick Saban wants them, Nick Saban and Alabama is gonna get them. The Tide has always been a national brand, but Nick Saban has changed recruiting at Alabama. This is not your grandfatherās recruiting class, unless your grandfather is willing to travel.
