Call it all you want, it was said here that he really wanted to go to Bama but Saban backed off because he got Henry the year before and other backs (Damien Harris maybe) lined up in '15.

That's absolutely not true. Hell, Bucc was practically screaming that we were landing Fournette up until his announcement.

Henry was coming off a season where he ran the ball 35 times. Alvin Kamara had just been kicked off the team due to sabotaging potential recruits official visits.

Damien Harris was committed to Michigan well before Alabama got involved.

It was said here by multiple Bama fans that Saban "backed off" his recruitment, that's passing on him.

Again, bullshite. I've run our recruiting thread for the past four classes and no Alabama fan ever said that.

Unless you can provide a link or two your claim is baseless.

And again, saying Alabama didn't need Fournette is not saying Alabama passed on him.

It was said Saban backed off recruiting him, due whatever reason. I don't follow Bama, so whatever rationale that was given so be it.

I didn't believe that to be true that he backed off then, and I don't believe it to be now.
