A big reason why Smith selected the Crimson Tide was Saban's history of success at developing defensive backs. He wants to be another great one from Tuscaloosa.

"That played a part in my decision," Smith said. "But it's not just that. It's the history and tradition of Alabama, from Bear Bryant all the way to now. There's so much there. And Alabama does has a history of developing players

CNS knew that recruiting the Atlanta area was important for Alabama. That is why The Tide played in the kick off games in 08 and 09. To build a presence in that city for recruiting. Of course playing in those 2 championship games at the Ga. Dome helped.

I've been in Atlanta. You need something to laugh at driving through there.

I worked in Atlanta for years. I know what the death smells like up there. A funny billboard would be a change of pace much needed! RTR!
