Message: [QUOTE="Statesman1, post: 1642412, member: 3507"] You're last comment regarding Baber's is what rings true to me: "a first year class that is comparable to Shafer's best class". Of course, we will have to wait to see how things pan out on the field but if the guy can put together a class in a month that is at least as good as Shafers best effort year 3 then I like the direction we are heading in. I'm not gonna kill Babers for losing Scott, he was gone no matter what once LSU offered and its obvious he was a plan C for Babers anyway-- Shafer would likely have lost him as well once Saban picked up the phone. Holding on to Chapman & Neal is to Babers' credit- unlike Shafer Babers was able to hold onto top guys. I like what Babers has done with this class in bringing in depth and quality- doesn't seem like there are too many reaches and the "diamonds in the rough" that Shafer was famous for taking chances on.
