Of Course Nick Saban Wants to Recruit Game of Thrones' White Walkers

Nick Saban has been all across the country recruiting the best prospects to Alabama this offseason, but there's one place he wishes he had gone: Westeros.

Yes, Westeros. Saban, who somehow has found the time to watch television in the midst of winning five national championships and bringing in the best recruiting class annually, believes certain characters on HBO's Game of Thrones could offer his Crimson Tide an added advantage on the roster.

The key players? White Walkers.

"The White Walkers were the bad dudes, man," Saban said Wednesday on WJOX 94.5 FM's The Roundtable.
