Yes, we are talking recruiting. In November. In years past, the process really never got going until the November LSU game. The introduction of the Early Signing Period (ESP) last December has changed the landscape drastically. It is a much tougher process for football staffs because they are in midseason. While Nick Saban & Co. are game-planning, they don’t have much time to meet recruits and their parents and spend time with them. Saban likes the old world of sitting down with families and having a talk.
