| First of all, Saban didn't lie to the kid. He will get his shot at RB. When Saban took over at Bama, Jimmy Johns(former Mr. football from Miss.) wanted to play RB. Saban told him he thought he would have a better chance to play at LB(Johns is 6ft2 235 pounds) but he let him have the choice. He spent all year on special teams because he wasn't better than the RBs we had. Now he is a LB. Saban is one of the best Talent evaluators in the country...this is no secret. He puts guys in the NFL and always has one of the best classes in the nation. I'm not making this up, this is his track-record.
Also, I never said TN shouldn't try and recruit in Alabama. There were some nice 3*** prospects(like Willie Bohannon) that TN should have recruited. I really wanted Bohannon at Bama.
Last, Bama hasn't recruited well in any state since our probabtion. But you are wrong, Bama used to recruit real well in TN(Memphis and Nashville) for years. A matter of fact, Bama Got the #1 player in the state 3 years in a row or 3 out of 4 back in the 90's I think...Eric Locke(transferred back to TN), David Paine, and the infamous Albert Means. That Name makes me cry.
