Saban is doing it to make himself look good and build favor at a football factory in GA, however the kid is still getting a free ride to school so it's a win-win.
I don't think saban is some saint for doing it but it is a very shrewd move on his part for sure.
I said the same thing in a thread on the Bama board. It's a nice gesture but it's not as if CNS or Bama is sacrificing anything by doing this and we get a lot of good PR and an in at Tucker HS in exchange.

Exactly. He didn't count against the 25, he won't count against the 85, and oh, this is the story out there now, not the fact that Pettway is safely back within the Bama fold while a few others won't be feeling quite so welcome come this Spring.
UGA and plenty of other schools do this kind of thing all the time, even when these guys sign a LOI and count against the 25 and occasionally the 85 if it wasn't a definite career-ending injury.
This was just a smooth PR move on Bama's and Saban's part.
