I just found out about a devious plan Saban is carrying out and it simply amazes me.
While Shon Coleman was a three star, Saban had him commit to Auburn, knowing Shon planned to go to Alabama all along.
Then he arranged for Rivals, which is ran by Bama fans, to bump Shon Coleman up to a five star. All along, he is having Rivals bump Auburn's other recruits to make them come within a hair of catching Alabama in the rankings.
Auburn adds two JUCO players to fill immediate needs at OT. All the while thinking they have a five star OT on board for the future. Auburn gets a false sense of security about their OL situation and stops recruiting other OT's.
Saban then sends Stone to his friend Derek Dooley at UT, springing the Auburn trap of flipping five star Shon Coleman, Auburn's most valuable and crucial recruit.
Auburn loses a five star and Alabama gains a five star. This nudges Bama comfortably ahead of the Barn in the Rivals recruiting rankings.
Just like the last Iron Bowl, Saban stabs them in the heart in the eleventh hour.
I never would have believed it, but I have confirmed that every step of this was masterfully planned by Saban all along.
