Feel free to boil with outrage at Nick Saban waiting until weeks before signing day to tell longtime 2012 commitment Justin Taylor that he'll need to sit out a year before he can join the Tide (to make it up, Taylor says Saban will sign a 2013 contract* and help find him a summer job**). I'm just here to laugh at this:
What other schools were recruiting you the hardest?
Tennessee came through and I only talked to them one time. They gave me a number and the number didn't even work.
* Totally non-binding.
** Not actually against NCAA rules, depending on how they do it.

Non-binding goes both ways. Some kids flip on signing day.
He has a place if he wants it. You never know how an injury like his will turn out as far as recovery. After all, its a business.
