re: The model for success has changed for Alabama

I think that’s the potential issue though. Do you spend your money on recruits and develop knowing they may leave the next portal? Do you spend money on the current players and portal players and tell the recruits pay your dues?

It seems like this will bite the big spenders in the butt. How can you tell a recruit that they will come in and get playing time. Only to bring in a big name from the portal that will play over them. Saban was good about waking the line of both, but we saw how that went at A&M.
