Here is the quote from saban verbatim:

Negative recruiting

Although it remains unclear which rivals schools said exactly what, and to which of Alabama’s recruits, Saban had his fill this winter of ideas being placed in the heads of his recruiting targets. With more than a little sarcasm, the UA coach made that clear Wednesday on the subject of negative recruiting.

“I’m amazed at what other schools know about our team, because I know nothing about their team. And they know more about our team than I know about our team,” Saban said. “They get the depth chart out and they know how good a player they are -- guys who haven’t even played before. Haven’t been on the field, haven’t lettered, haven’t done anything.

“It’s amazing to me, and I’m talking about convincing -- an expert. We don’t do that, we do not negative recruit in what we do. We have a product to sell, we try to sell it in a positive way.”

So... saban calls showing kids other team's depth charts and selling against that team by doing so "negative recruiting". Then he claims his coaches do not do it.

As usual, I call BS and call saban a liar (not like that is new news or anything).
