TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama officials would not comment on reports that coach Nick Saban might have violated NCAA rules limiting contact with potential recruits.
The Miami Herald and canesports.com reported that three south Florida junior prospects described conversations with Saban during his recruiting trip last week that might have exceeded NCAA rules limiting face-to-face contact with recruits to "exchange of a greeting" between April 15 and May 31. Coaches are allowed to evaluate high school players at their schools during that period.
If violations occurred, they were likely secondary and wouldn't lead to significant penalties. Alabama spokesman Doug Walker said Thursday the university would not comment on the reports.
