Happy Thursday, everyone. Recruiting for 2020 is all wrapped up, and Alabama landed another outstanding class. First, we will parse through some of Nick Saban’s comments.
— Saban downplayed rankings and ratings in recruiting, saying he felt like Alabama got quality people and players who want to get a good education. He said sometimes there are unrealistic outside expectations for some players that make it difficult for players to focus on their development and not their outcome. There have been a lot of freshmen who have contributed but Saban said there is also a responsibility to not play freshmen who are not ready.
