Actually,m we didn't have a top 5 class after the 2001 season and I attribute it partly to Saban ignoring all the NFL rumors without saying anything. We lost a few commits in January and Feb that year and the class suffered. The past 2 yaers Saban has come out publicly and said he was staying at LSU, of course even signing a new deal last year.

He also attributed us losing some players in that class to them playing in the SEC CG and also the Sugar Bowl and not working out the recruiting schedules properly. He talked about it extensively last December.

I remember that too, but he learned by this and it won't happen again.
