Stage is set for Alabama to dominate in-state recruiting in 2014

There is no need to dominate in state when you can take your pick from the best recruits from all over the country. I've heard several pundits say that Saban drafts players because he gets his choice while everybody else has to recruit and convince the kids to come to their school.

Some years the state has more elite talent than others. I look at the barn players who were top 5 like Reese Dismukes and I don't think we missed out on much. Coach Saban seems to get who he wants. Sometimes that means going out of state.

He factors in a lot of things that the recruiting sites don't even look at, like character, attitude, work ethic, maturity, responsibility, etc. A lazy 5 star that feels entitled is a total waste of a scholarship in my opinion and is likely to wash out within a year or two.
