I don't understand the problem. He was told weeks ago about the grey shirt deal, and kids are making school visits up until the week-end before signing day, so he was free to do that. Some are trying to make it look like Saban told him about this the morning of signing day. We can take these resporters columns as gospel, and that they are right in every case. They put a certain spin on everything and Scarbinsky is one of the worst.
In an article by Josh Moon from the Montgomery Advertiser, he implied that Auburn was so moral and upstanding and that Bama is a football factory and not caring about academics, The records show that Bama has a higher graduation rate, and better grade point average than Auburn and a lot better than most.
People need to realize that when these guys write a column, it is just their opinion and not always factual. Sometimes they cross the line.

Read Saban's own words regarding commitment. Consider that Philon shut down his recruitment just like Saban mentions in his tirade. Consider that Philon is a child and Saban is an adult with more influence in the sports world than most.
Saying you don't understand the problem is just asinine.

And where are these time frames that he was told coming from.
The article says a teamate said a week ago

it's been speculated a month ago

The problem people have with it, is that the kid committed to Alabama in September and never took another visit to any other school. He may have been free to do it, but he was committed to Alabama and thought Alabama was committed to him. The fact is that Alabama got two shinier new toys on Signing Day in Kirven and Tomlinson, and chose to accept both of their committments instead of taking one and politely telling the other that they waited too long. Instead, a recruit who did things the right way and shut his recruiting down when he committed got left out in the cold.
Some people don't have a problem with it, and that is fine. They say football is a business and it is the coaches job to get the best players in, feelings be damned. But even Nick Saban is quoted as saying that when a player commits to a school, his recruitment should end there. That opinion has apparently changed since last year.
