Whatever. Bottom line is they were able to give a kid a free education without hurting their scholarship numbers in anyway, while worming their way into one of the top football talent H.S.'s in Georgia.
Good marketing, but it wasn't done purely out of the goodness of Nick's heart.
Sorry.
Did Richt offer the same to the guy? I mean he's a Georgia boy and all, so surely a good man like Mark would offer the same.
Oh, so Saban does this for every promising senior who hurts himself and can't play in college?
Good for him! Please produce the list, I'd love to see it!
Unless maybe he's doing it to worm his way into the Tucker H.S. pipeline.
Hey, I get Bama fans buying it, but it's kind of funny seeing the other fans who know better lapping up the Saban B.S.
But, like I said - good for Shaw.

I'd love to see the list of bama and Georgia targets that suffered a career ending injury in high school.
It's about one name long.
That kid only had one offer at the end of the day.
I know a lot of good hearted Nicaraguan children that would be flabbergasted frankly.

Has Bama yanked a scholly due to an injury? Or just offered the grey shirt route which is really just a delay while the kid gets better. UGA fans will disagree but yanking vs asking to greyshirt are two very different things.
And fine, I'll get real and admit Saban wouldn't do this if it counted against our schollies. I'm fine with that, he's paid to win, within the rules. When he can do something nice like this he will. It's a travesty Richt couldn't follow Saban's example here. Like others have said, a kid is getting a chance at a free shot because of the actions of Alabama. But it doesn't fit your (ond certainly not the revisionist AJC's) narrative, so you just want the story to go away.
