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.

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.

Maybe he is a Jedi???

Like him or hate him, he does know how to coach and motivate his players.

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.

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.
