Several analysts have stated Clemson had better talent & backups than Bama!


Jan 9, 2019, 10:07 PM

Where were these people when 85% of them were lying out of their skulls?!

If you go by recruiting stars Bama has more talent than us.

If you go by player selection, program fit, and coachability we win. You heard Swinney remind us we've never been #1 in recruiting and probably never will be. Now when he said that most people assume that's because we're little old Clemson. We don't have the money or the facilities, or the history of Bama, and other Sec schools.

I think I know Dabo pretty well. That comment was made because Dabo, no matter our success, money, media hype, or whatever.... Dabo will never go out and sign a top recruiting class. The reason he will never do that is he's more selective in the recruiting process than Saban. Dabo goes after a good person, someone who has a good heart who he can elevate. Not a bad person who he has to try and keep from self-destruction. That's how his teams get so close. That's how he elevates their play.

Bama has better players on paper. Probably always will. But Dabo will take a 4 star who is a humble and good person 20 times over a 5 star guy who thinks he's king of the world. He will coach and inspire that 4 star guy to play better than even a Saban can get a 5 star guy with an ego and narcissism problem.

Peiole who are now saying we have better players than Bama are only saying that because they can't bring themselves to tell the truth. We've got a better coach and a better person running our show. Dabo doesn't go out and toss scholarship offers to just any 5 star guy. Saban does that. We could. Dabo won't. If you do it right, and Dabos way, you can't. Dabo has to meet the player, meet his family, research the person first, talent second, then he offers that scholly.

You should not hide the such profound truths in a thread.

C&P it in a thread starter.

Recruiting rankings are based a lot on advertising and team


Jan 10, 2019, 6:39 AM [ in reply to If you go by recruiting stars Bama has more talent than us. ]

The SEC will have higher rankings because it is more profitable to those that rank. Our rankings will go up the next year or two, not because we are getting better players, but because it will make financial sense for those that rank, to rank us higher.

Team Rankings last 5 years

Alabama - 1, 1, 1, 1, 5
Clemson - 16, 9, 11, 16, 7
Coots - 19, 20, 25, 21, 18

Averages
Alabama 1.8
Clemson 11.8
Coots 20.6

With continued success we will start to see the Bama Affect on the star ratings of our recruits. When Bama signs a player, the rating services add that extra star because, hey if he’s good enough to sing with Bama he can’t be a 4 or 3 star recruit. He has to either be a 5 or a 4. Just another way for the ratings services to sell subscriptions by giving the people what they want to see. What we forget is the rating services don’t exist to help coaches, They are there to make money by selling subscriptions to fans. The number of champships we have in the last 5 years vs our recruiting class ranking speaks volumes about the accuracy of those rankings.

developing the players

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You got to find a player you can develop first


Jan 10, 2019, 7:33 AM

That's done in recruiting. Remember for years we got a 5 star guy here and there and they ended up not being very good and/or leaving? Talent is all over the place. You can go to Rivals and find talent with a mouse click. You don't know if any of that talent is coachable until you sit down at their dinner table with mom and dad. Only then will you know if that's a kid you can elevate or will have to babysit.

Thats how a team with less talent than Bama beats Bama 44-16 for the national championship. You get an offer from Clemson and you have something more than talent. Sure you have talent. But you have something more. Look at the number of offers to 5 star guys by Bama and by us. They offer way more and get way more. But we stand toe to toe with them anyway. That starts at that kitchen table with a recruit and his parents.
