BS. The thread is still on the front recruiting page. The current thread above it has less posts and was started earlier in the day.

This locked thread began at 3:30am in the middle of the night and the thing was shutdown before noon? It has over a thousand views yet nobody can participate.

No. It was locked for other reasons.

Considering I was a part of setting up the guidelines to be followed by moderators on that site, calling BS to my explanation might not be such a good idea. :grin:

The answer is obvious, Terry. Most of the starters in the last two years were Saban's recruits. This year, however three classes of Miles recruits will be playing and the "Les wins with Nicks recruits" line will becime increasingly meaningless.

Now, does Nick point out that he won with Gerry Dinardo's recruits his first two years at LSU, including his first SEC championship? Les will point that out. Nick will also be playing with Shulas recruits for a few years. If he wins, he'll never mention this. If he loses, we'll hear a lot about how Saban "needs to get his own players" into the program.

I think this whole line of questioning is essentially meaningless. Coaches always inherit another coaches recruits. Curley Hallman actually recruited fairly well and sent a number of players to the NFL. He couldn't coach them worth a damn, but Gerry Dinardo came in and had three straight winning seasons with those players.

It ain't just the players that make a team a winner. Les Miles gets too little credit for starting with two 11-win seasons. Nicks recruting classes averaged 3.7 stars per player and guess what . . . Les Miles' classes average exactly the same.

I wasn't really looking for an explantion Red. That's the reason I mentioned hearing the same things about Curry and Stallings, etc. I was just curious to the #. It meant nothing...just satisfying curiousity...it's a debate I find no value or meaning in.

After all, in college ball it isn't so much who recruited who, it's who coached who, right? The HC has a lot of bearing on results on the field...so MUCH more than NFL.

that's my contention, Saban telling recruits that LSU is winning because of him, I guess by the statement above, you agree!!

Saban said it was his recruits, not that LSU was winning because of him.

I can tell you right now Terry was right about why that thread was locked. For you to say why it was locked is pure speculation on your part. We know why it was locked better than you do are you a tidefans moderator?
