āWe actually took some opportunities away from guys that really wanted to come to Alabama that we couldnāt sign,ā Saban said. āAnd they couldnāt come here because we couldnāt offer that option to them. I donāt really see how thatās really good for the league, but it is what it is, and weāll manage it in the future.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Nick Saban woke up Wednesday morning with a clear mind and a horizon free of surprises.
National signing day was to be as uneventful as last yearās was unpredictable. The Alabama football coach knew all 26 names that would make up the nationās top signing class 48 hours before the rest of college football saw its late additions and subtractions.
A number of factors played into the relatively quiet signing day in Tuscaloosa. The new 25-scholarship limit imposed by the SEC topped the list.
āYou couldnāt send out too many scholarships on a āmaybe,ā ā Saban said. āIf too many guys came here, we would have got penalized, so it worked out well from that standpoint. The fact that we had a lot of guys commit to us a long time ago and stick to those commitments was also a positive thing for us.ā
The class was headlined by five-star safety Landon Collins from deep in LSU territory, former Auburn commitment T.J. Yeldon, and a long list of defensive prospects primed to replace the seven departing starters.
