Reading Alabama forums the last few days it seems their fans are concerned about the drop off in recruiting. Part of it was attributed to losing ace recruiters (Kirby Smart, Lane Kiffin, Mario Cristobal, etc.) and it finally catching up to them. However, apparently now other coaches on the recruiting trail are whispering about Saban's age (he's 66) and it having an effect on recruits. Now they can say "Do you want to play for a coach who's going to turn 70 when you're a senior?". At least as Bucks fans we can take solace that Saban is probably not going to be around much longer. I don't care what anyone says, physically its impossible to have the energy to recruit like a madman in your 70's relative to your 50's. Let's hope their recruiting drop off is real. Urban is only 53 and the future looks bright. The Bucks class is #1 and has 5 5*'s. Other teams are not even close.
