kchusker_chris Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1649924-nick-sabans-secret-recruiting-recipe I know it's BR, but they've gotten much better since they converted to CNN's sports coverage. This was a pretty good read. I like the mental toughness piece in there, something we lack at times. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 One of Saban’s key metrics for measuring mental toughness is how a player reacts after a bad play. I'd like to see how Nick found a quantitative measurement for this, he really is a genius. Quote Link to comment

BartonHusker Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I would assume body language and effort are two big telling signs. Anyone that has coached picks up quickly on things like that. If a kid is moping around or not giving 100%, that says a lot about how they handle adversity. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 So basically this article says the Saban doesnt really have to "recruit". He just has to "evaluate" and "choose" who he wants and write the checks. At least that's how I saw it. Quote Link to comment
