About that...

Gus Malzahn sure was a talkin' at Day 1 of the 2015 SEC Media Days.

After puffing his chest about the "man's league" that is the SEC West (2-5 in bowl games, zero New Year's Bowl or playoff wins) and how outsiders just don't understand it, he went one step further, ostensibly when primed by satellite camps and recruiting in general.

"The chances of a school from up north coming down here and getting a player Alabama or Auburn want is close to zero," Malzahn said.

And yet, both of the following had offers from both Alabama and Auburn, and Alabama were finalists for both as well:

5-star linebacker Raekwon McMillan

5-star DB Vonn Bell

That's to say nothing of the interest in later Ohio State commit

Malik Barrow and former Buckeye Trey Johnson.
