when you have a program like he has at Bama why would you have to negative recruit. I am not saying it has not happened but I would think it would not be a general practice.

It's a tactic employed when you aren't on even standing with a given player. So, if you are trying to flip a player that's not likely to flip...or recruiting a player who is a longer shot for some other reason.

In general, Alabama is selling Alabama.
