Saban Takes Shot at Recruiting Rankings

Nick Saban clearly doesn’t care for star-ratings and isn’t a fan of the star-ranking system in recruiting.

The legendary former coach and current ESPN analyst took a shot at recruiting rankings ahead of Monday night’s national championship game between Indiana and Miami.

Saban called out the recruiting ranking industry while comparing a couple of former Alabama running backs, Josh Jacobs and Damien Harris, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show before the national title game.

“We never ever looked, and I know Cig (Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti) doesn’t either, at how many stars a guy has because I think what you all need to do is look at who’s giving out the stars,” Saban said.
