Son, I was watching Alabama football when Bear Bryant was still stalking the sidelines. We built men like Cornelius Bennett and Derrick Thomas. Now we're out here bidding on free agents just like everybody else. That article doesn't lie, the whole conference is in the same swap meet. To say we aren't scrambling is to forget the days when a commit actually meant something. This isn't building a program, it's assembling a mercenary squad every winter. The process is gone, replaced by the portal.
