No your right it was Phelon and Saban. When Saban was first hired he went to Phelon's high school, against Phelon's wishes, to talk to him. Phelon said that Saban started off by talking about how great of a coach he is and how he won't find anyone who can develop him better than him and how HE was the reason LSU won a National Championship. He said all kinds of other crazy BS and Phelon Jones called him out on it and pretty much walked out on Nick. He was one of my favorite recruits at the time because of it and it kills me that he goes back and sells his soul to the devil.

Saban had him at "hello". He always wanted to come to Bama..he was just scared at the possibility of revenge attacks from the Tigah faithful...

The story is better than that. nick went to his high school after he committed to Les. When they walked out of a classroom, Bo Pelini and his staff were standing there, arms folded waiting. They couldn't talk, but flew there in a helicopter to make Phelon's value known.
