Nick Saban explains his virtual recruiting strategy

Nick Saban is not a fan of embracing new technology, but due to the restrictions put in place by the current recruiting dead period, the veteran coach has had to step outside his comfort zone to continue recruiting and building relationships with some of Alabama’s top targets.

The NCAA extended the current recruiting dead period through May 31, which means the Tide will not be able to host any recruits until June if the period is not extended. In a video interview with ESPN reporter, Maria Taylor, via Instagram, the 6-time National Championship winning coach provided an update on how he is tackling the challenge of not being able to host recruits and visit them off-campus.
