Alabama football coach Nick Saban denied the implication that anyone from his team violated NCAA rules by recruiting former Louisville receiver Tyler Harrell before he entered the transfer portal in April.
Speaking to reporters at a golf event, Saban said that they don't do anything to anyone.
In a story published last week, Louisville coach Scott Satterfield suggested that. Satterfield said that he could not prove that tampering occurred.
The man who caught 18 passes for He committed to Alabama ten days later.
"I don't know of anyone that tampered with him." It makes you wonder when things happen. I don't have any knowledge of anyone that has done anything to our players or anyone else's players.

When a guy leaves your program and goes somewhere else the day after the game, you wonder if anything happened.
The transfer portal and players earning money via name, image and likeness has caused caution in the past.

He said that they are always looking for a better way. A lot of people are working on it. A lot of people are interested in trying to make our game as competitive as possible. Some people will come up with solutions.
You have to be able to adapt to any circumstance, and that is what we were trying to do.
Alabama pulled a number of high-profile players from the transfer portal.
Eli Ricks is a former LSU All-SEC defensive back and a former Georgia Tech All-ACC running back. They also signed a receiver who led Georgia in catches over the past two seasons, and an offensive lineman who started three seasons at Commodores.
