Lane Kiffin says Alabama football "cherry-picks' top players from the transfer portal

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin spoke on the talent on the Alabama Crimson Tide roster on the SEC Teleconference call Wednesday ahead of his team's matchup against them on Oct. 2nd.

After a tough road win against Florida last week, Kiffin praised Alabama's performance. "They have a great team, great players," said Kiffin of Alabama.

Kiffin mentioned the talent Alabama brings in out of high school as well as the transfer portal. He marvels at how well Saban recruits college players as well as high school players.

"For years now you’ve had the issue when you play Alabama, they have five-star players like an NFL team and better than some NFL teams at certain positions.
