NOT.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft2011/news/story?id=5938951

I am sure him getting to retain these guys for one more year and making another run at NC never crossed his mind....he is just looking out for their best interests. If he needs to cut a few others from the team to make room...no biggie.

Tom Harmon's last game:  In a 40-0 victory over OSU, he scored scoring three rushing tds, two passing tds, 4 extra points, 3 interceptions and punted 3 times. He was given an standing ovation by the OSU crowd.

Either way, I'm hoping they stay so in 2012 we have their [underclassmen] lack of experience on our side.

I don't really understand - whether this is on or off topic - what the point of the OT label is.   If in reading the Titles it's not clear what the post contains then I get it.   If it says that Saban is a tool it seems it's pretty clear what the post is about and each person can determine if that's on or off topic enough.

The use of OT when something is clearly OT adds nothing in my opinion.

If he is truly worried about whether the players are going to be adequately prepared then why wouldn't he say that he will advise those players who need more preparation not to enter the draft.  Where the players are projected, (top half 1st round) is mostly about talent in the NFL.  I just don't get his team's evaluation process if the major concern here is not attending OTA's and mini camp.
