LINK /. Will the NCAA do anything? Tampering with another schools
Players.

quote:

I had a couple of good talks with coach Saban and I decided I was ready,” Ricks told 247Sports in December. “Alabama was my top school when I first hit the portal and I think it’s a great all around fit for me.

Any context as in to when they talked? Pre or Post portal entrance? If not, nothing will happen.

So you expect them to just transfer to schools without talking to the coach? Just show up for practice one day?

It’s a great fit for him now cause Kelly wouldn’t put up with his prima donna arse. He will make Bama a worse team IMO

Get over it. Ricks had zero ties to LSU and made a business decision after going 11-11 in his two years in Baton Rouge. There are a lot of people on this board lying if they said they wouldn’t look at all the options if they were in his position.

Are you kidding? Saban runs the NCAA. He spoke to a recruit after he was hired by Bama and that was an illegal contact. They just told I am guessing, don't do that coach.

Great point OP. Mark Emmert absolutely despises Saban and has just been waiting for the right opportunity to destroy

based on the statement you posted, it reads like he entered the portal with Bama as his top prospect then after he talked with Saban he decided he was ready. No way that would prompt an investigation.

He’s already shown himself to be a selfish player and a guy who immediately got in trouble upon transferring.

It hurts to lose the talent but luckily the person transfers with the talent.

It is only tampering if the conversation takes place before the player enters the portal. There is no indication that happened. He is still an a-hole though.

I don't think he was talking to Saban prior to entering the transfer portal. I bet he had one of his players talk to him and told him how much he could make in NIL. We know Ricks was not happy about his NIL here. To these kids, money means more than school.

Saban Tampers?

Ask Louisville HC what he thinks the probability was of Bama tampering for WR.
