Alabama recruitment fall-out

I wonder how this would play into the (incorrect?) assertion that some chapters on some campuses already have their bid list decided months before formal recruitment. I've seen this talked about sometimes. I have no idea if this is true. If it is true, it may at least explain some of the issue. I don't know.

I would be interested in reading others' thoughts on this; especially those who are familiar with recruitment at Alabama or in the South, since recruitment seems to be a bigger deal in some areas of the South.
