TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Here's one wish Alabama coach Nick Saban can't necessarily make come true: To have all the signees in school when the first summer session begins June 3.

Saban said it is a "tremendous advantage" to get incoming freshmen on campus early and it has always been his goal at every college coaching stop.
"It's the intention of every one of our freshmen that we recruited that they will come in early if they can get certified academically through the (NCAA) Clearinghouse in time," Saban said. "That's the philosophy that we'd like to use."
But he can't order them to get there that early. The NCAA doesn't allow new arrivals to work during the summer with the coaches, though they can do strength and conditioning, watch film and participate in voluntary workouts with other Crimson Tide players while getting acclimated to campus.

This is a perfect example of why team leadership is so important. The players need to be after the new recruits to get into playing shape and work with them on the films in the classroom.
