It’s no coincidence Saban went after Louisiana guys as hard as he did. Saban intentionally did things to try and bring down LSU.


I have always thought this is a very sophomoric comment. Saban recruits based on his team's needs and if that is a Louisiana prospect he recruited them like any other location. Schools have 25 scholarships and no coach wastes them on recruits so another school does not sign them.

I disagree. It was always weird how Alabama always seemed to be over their limit every signing day. He could recruit players and then ”process” them later, effectively taking them off the board. The requirement that a player couldn’t transfer and then play right away worked to his advantage. Saban may not have specifically made it a priority to target LSU but I do think it was part of his strategy to starve his competition of talent. The rule changes seemed to have really impacted him.
