Jake Fromm dad: Saban’s recruiting tactics were ‘bizarre'


Jan 4, 2018, 3:40 PM

"The story of the highly coveted quarterback’s flip from Tuscaloosa to Athens during the recruiting process has been told before, but Fromm’s father may have just put a new spin on things."

“Nick Saban wants it to be about Alabama and Coach Saban,” Emerson Fromm said. “He doesn’t want you to really deal with the coordinators, even though [former offensive coordinator Lane] Kiffin was the recruiter. As soon as Kiffin kind of put his blessing on Jake, we didn’t talk to Kiffin a whole lot. It was to the point where sometimes you’d might be in the indoor and see Kiffin, and he might go the other way. I’m serious. It’s just bizarre. We got kind of close with Kirby because we didn’t have anybody to talk to. Kirby is from Georgia, and it’s just easy to relate. That’s why he’s blowing everybody up on the recruiting end because he’s just a very personable person.”

“[Kirby] made it very easy when he left Alabama. It’s just like a no-brainer.”

"Fromm’s father also revealed the reason his son, who is from Warner Robins, Ga., didn’t just commit to play for Georgia in the first place. He said previous UGA coach Mark Richt and his staff did not offer his son, claiming Richt “just didn’t want” Fromm. He also said Richt’s coaches were not “confident recruiters,” indicating that they were prone to avoid chasing 5-star prospects at the same position in back-to-back classes. The Bulldogs had just signed 5-star QB Jacob Eason in the class before Fromm."

His last statement is bizarre

Georgia coaches weren’t confident enough to recruit back to back 5 stats? How does he know this?

All his statements were probably out of context and blown out of proportion.

He seems like a little bit of a prick throwing all these other coaches under the bus. Fromm really blossomed his senior year and was not ranked a 5 star by any service before then.

There is absolutely validity to this article. My coworker coached Jake in baseball at HoCo and has said Saban literally ruined the recruiting of Fromm. He said that Saban withheld the playbook and gave them the cold shoulder a bit after aria Tagov committed. He also noted that Saban and Emerson had gotten into right before Jake decomitted.

Coach Campbell banned Nick Saban from Peach County High here because he lied about not being able to come and visit Demarcus Robinson. Saban cancelled and said he had an emergency but he was in Atl on an in home with Kamara
