With us hitting the state of Alabama and plucking a few athletes do you think that McElwain has a little insight as to what Saban is going to say to these kids order to sway them to Bama? Maybe he gets infront of it and when the kid hears Saban ramble it makes them really turn on to Mac. Just a thought...

These kids were not being recruited by Bama. They are actually pretty good but Bama just missed on their evaluation. Coach Mac capitalized.

Of course they realized that they screwed up so now they are trying to make up for lost time.

They will both do well in recruiting in the coming years. There are plenty to go around. I just wonder how much longer Saban will be coaching at Bama.

I'd say when his wife has bought all the nice sh!t she wants. Unless I am mis-remembering, their situation is a little Bowden-esque where money is concerned, Ms. Saban particularly. Don't think he would stay around long enough to get forced out, but then again I don't know whether his kids have or will fleece him like Bobby's reportedly did.

I'm pretty certain that one son, who was in some sort of investing, lost about $2 mil of his money. I think the daughter got into his pocketbook pretty deep as well. Terry had his share of scandals while at AU and many guessed that dad had to prop him up. Hell, he was essentially forced to fire the younger one after promoting him to OC. Likely another to help support? I guess only the investor really ripped him off. The others just soaked him pretty good.

Who was that? Jeff Bowden? He sucked.

Yeah, his oldest son Steve scammed him for about $1.6 million. Ex-Alabama quarterback Brian Burgdorf (sp) was also involved. Here's a link.

If some anonymous rumors of past/present recruits meeting with the bagman , maybe a certain coach that used to work there is letting the cat out of the bag, now if it was Mac, he could blame the rumors on Smart .. trying to help his recruiting.. hehe, that Mac is a sharp one

I think Mac is sharp! He's very likable but he has that ole' school football coach side to him. Not Mushmouth crazy but can still get after that tail. I hope the guy is around along time. Kids see what he is doing. He will bring in the kids that really want to be a Gator.
