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

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.

I know it won't

All I can take it as he was quoted and that says Saban was talking to him before he went into the portal.

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

It doesn't say he was talking to Saban before. He may have been ,but that has no way of proving that. He could have meant he was ready to sign with Bama. Post entering portal. Context is pretty poor in statement.

And saying that, I wouldn't doubt that he talked to someone at Bama, but i seriously doubt it would have been Saban. Not till after.

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

If Ricks contacted AL then I doubt it's tampering.

I'll give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count. I agree in the sense that nothing will happen either way.

of course not but Ricks implies that he talked to Saban several times before deciding he was ready to enter the portal. This is relevant with Louisville accusing Alabama of tampering with its players.

If he hadn’t entered the portal yet, supposedly the case according to other posters, then Saban talking to him (recruiting him) is a rules violation.

The system is not setup to be 24/7 recruiting of other teams players. If they enter the portal, signaling an intent to leave current program, then they are fair game for recruiting

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.

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension and quit trying to make it mean what you want it to.

Reggie Bush was on the phone with Pete carrol and Orgeron with Joe McKnight and nothing happened.

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