Saban just said...

Did he mention that Sam Nader found Webster and is still at LSU?

Thats the biggest crock of shite I ever heard, I played high school football with Webster and believe me he had plenty D1 offers

LSU didn't want to feed that fat fricker.

I can't wait until he gets on an NFL team and becomes the next Gilbert Brown. That should be great. Plays about 12 snaps a game.

..on his radio show that he (at LSU) was the only D-1 School that recruited Corey Webster.

so he is lying on his show? Webster had quite a few DI offers, and was a Member of The Advocate Second Dozen, Tiger Rag Dirty Dozen and Times Picayune Top 24 Blue Chip List .

Yep. He not only had offers in football. He had offers to play mid-major D1 BASKETBALL. He was on the LSU team for a few weeks as a freshman and would have been a top bench player at worst had he stuck with roundball.

My uncle who coached HS football in NW LA for 30 years told me that CW was THE BEST all-around athlete he had EVER coached against.

Saban is FOS on this one.

Not only was he a WR recruit, he was recruited by Nebraska as a QB LINK

I listened to the show via the link posted on another thread.

1. Saban said Cody wasn't recruited by teams Bama plays. Does Bama play Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Miss. St.? Cody was recruited by "The U," amongst others.

2. Saban said that even though Corey Webster was not a highly recruited HS player, Saban gave him a scholarship to LSU.

Both of the above statements are incorrect, to say the least. Also, since Saban should be VERY familiar with the recruiting of both Cody and Webster, it was a Clinton-esque lie.

Why does he lie about something so easy to disprove?

IMO, to create the image that he is the best talent evaluator in football and that he can turn average players that no one else wanted into All-Americans. But, I would not say Cody and Webster were "average" HS players.
