Gets me about this ESPN piece scouting 21 five-star kids who have never played a snap of college football? I think back to the 1994 team we had under Coach Stallings. We built that offensive line around guys who showed up as walk-ons and spent three years in the weight room before they ever saw the field. Now we got grown men writing scouting reports on 16-year-olds based on highlight tapes and camp drills. It is ridiculous. We used to find our best playres at some Friday night game in a town you never heard of, watching them play both ways on a field with no lights. Coach Bryant built entire championship teams out of in-state kids who nobody else wanted. Now we got the staff flying private jets to five different schools in one weekend to shake hands with kids who already have NIL deals worth six figures before they ever take a snap under the lights in Bryant-Denny. I miss when recruiting meant watching film of a kid who played through a broken finger in the state championship game, not reading some recruiting analyst break down their combine numbers from a summer camp. That 1992 defense had guys who played together for four years. That is what built championships. Not this star-chasing nonsense.
