It happened the same way at Alabama when Bear Bryant retired and then dies a month later....schools took alot of prospects away from Alabama during those times and until the last few years Alabama has been pretty much out of the picture except for 1992.

But heres the thing about all that...while it may be true that kids go to certain schools just because of a certain coach...todays kids want to play and play now so a kid going to PSU, Alabama, Texas, OU just becuase of Paterno, Saban, Brown etc.... are not alot for the simple fact that playing time is a major factor and you see it all the time when a kid goes to a school just for playing time.

It will be really interesting to see Gunner Kiel this upcoming year...he commited to Indiana, then LSU and finally went to Notre Dame...reasoning? Playing time.
