Jeez, the folks at Roll Bama Roll are borderline obsessed with Kirby’s recruiting.
WEBB OF DECEIT
The silence was broken and Clay Webb from Oxford, AL made his commitment to Georgia this past weekend. He has a great future in the CIA if he wants to take that route. Somehow the press never put two and two together and figured out that this 5-star offensive lineman had deep roots in Athens, GA.
From Friday’s JP:
Clay’s mother Dana, a phys ed teacher at Oxford High where Clay attends, is from the metro Atlanta area and the bulk of her family still lives there. Her sister lives in Athens and both she and her husband graduated from Georgia.
I am not sure how or why this all became a state secret but we at RBR have been speculating that it was more Kirby shenanigans. Our theory goes that Webb wanted to commit to UGA but their staff asked him to keep it quiet so Kirby could build his recuitment up and make it looked like he snatched Webb away from Saban’s clutches at the last second and that they were building some kind of momentum.
“Webb Of Deceit” — get it? Haw, haw.
Dude, Georgia’s second in the Sports247 Composite right now. The momentum was built long before Webb committed.
And first is ‘Bama. Why are you guys fretting, anyway?
After all this time, it’s finally, “KIRBY ain’t got time for that shit.” It’s a Festivus miracle!!!

I have no doubt Webb has been a “silent commit” for a while. I think he wanted to help build momentum going into the first signing day. Throw that in with Walker and Smith’s reaffirmation of their commitments, and Wednesday is shaping up to be a lot of fun.

A decent percentage of the Bama fans are mentally unstable with their insecurity and paranoia. Had the NCAA not put a limit of 85 scholarships, they would panic if they didn’t sign the entire Top 100 annually. Perhaps they realize they need a huge talent advantage over the majority of the opponents in the SEC or they might become SC or TN again. We all saw what they looked like a decade or two ago before they began attracting Top 5 classes every year under Saban. Realizing those days will end, the state of Alabama needs to begin staffing the Suicide Hotline for the inevitable crash.
I respect what they have accomplished as a program but as a fan group they will be ridiculed for how they have handled it. The highest highs will certainly bring about the lowest lows. That attacks on all other programs, anyone who dare pick against them, not sign with them, or don’t bow to them have been obnoxious the past few years. If you read, or listen to their comments, perhaps they haven’t really accomplished so much at all since no one else in the country has a decent team, or program. A few of us have played them close but no team deserves their respect and are unworthy opponents. So they haven’t really beaten anyone, just listen to them. And all recruits that sign somewhere else are trash, or stupid. Major fall is coming, as Kirby preaches “humility is just a day/week away”.

Kirby overtly pitched himself as the New, Fun Saban, here to slay the Old, Evil Saban. Surprise, that guy took it personally. He’s the same one who was blathering about Kirby taking pictures on his way out the door and using them to negative recruit some guys.
Saban’s 2-0 against Kirby, and Saban’s working on yet another #1 recruiting class. And some of them still need to explain why getting a 5-star OL out of Alabama isn’t really that big a deal.

Message to all the Bama homers, yep that includes all you fair weather, shirtless, toothless UAB T fans without the degree, or yet even a GED. Why dont you go take a look at Saban’s 1st 3 years head coaching record, no wait first 7 years, and compare those to Kirby”s 1st three. It’s not even close. Kirby is 44. Saban is 66 and has essentially been caught, even by a guy with 20 years experiential disadvantage

When Alabama discovers and uses creative recruiting strategy it is genius. When Georgia does the same thing or heaven forbid finds a loophole that Lord Saban and Bama had missed, then it is somehow it is wrong/evil? Get used to it. Every empire has risen, peaked, and then declined. Bama has crested the mountain and will be watching as they begin the slow slide down the other side.

They know that Saban does this sort of thing. I mean, why do you think there was a big press conference when Kirby turned down Richt for the DC job back in ’08? Remember how that was drawn out? That was all about recruiting. It’s Saban’s game that Kirby plays — he’s just one of the few that can play it well.

Is suspect there are several reasons that Clay Webb kept his intentions quiet for so long. One great reason would be to negate some of the pressure put on him for his choice.
Remember what Cade Mays had to endure in Knoxville?
It will be worse in Oxford.
Who know what Clay will suffer from every social aspect of his life. There will be no escaping the comments…at school, at church, while eating out, while out shopping….OCD Alabama nut-jobs are going to harass and engage him about his choice.
I don’t think we have an inkling of what he’s going through.
Let’s just be happy that Kirby is leading a captive out of Alabamastan and hope there will be more to follow.
