The Alamaba Coach Crimson tide has been accused of indiscriminate training
It is a common occurrence, but that does not absolve it of NCAA code violations. Can coaches get in touch with athletes from a different program even if they aren’t registered on the portal? “Pre-existing recruiting regulations forbid speaking with a student-athlete who is enrolled at another Division I university before the student-athlete appears in the Transfer Portal,” states the NCAA regulation. In short, the response is no. Alabama and Governor Kalen DeBoer, however, are reportedly under fire for allegedly disobeying this regulation.
DeBoer has been accused of looking for quarterbacks through possible illegal ways, even with a good QB like Jalen Milroe on the squad. The most recent report from Blue Bloods Bias on X is that Tampering with Arizona Star QB Noah Fifita is being accused against Alabama & HC Kalen DeBoer.” These accusations followed some recent admissions made by Noah Fifita father, Les, to The Athletic. And Jedd Fisch was the spark.
Following a pretty successful season for the Arizona Wildcats, HC Jedd Fisch left for the same role in Washington. Per The Athletic, “According to Les, the Sunday night Fisch left for Washington was bad. He could sense his son was shaken up a bit.” Understandably worried about his future with the Wildcats, the 20-year-old thought about entering the transfer portal. But he never did, which is why his father’s comments caused the stir they did.
