I was asked the other day how Nick Saban dominates the recruiting wars like no coach has ever been able to do before him. The answer is as crazy as it is simple.
Nick Saban doesn’t approach a young man, 16 to 18 years old and try to appeal to the dreaming little boy inside him and fill his head with dreams of stardom from day one. While other coaches tell him they can see him as a starter from day one and get lots of playing time and many years of showing the NFL scouts just what he can do.
