Saban Returns to Scene of His Prime

With Louisiana State coach Les Miles about to talk with Michigan and defensive coordinator Bo Pelini reportedly going to Nebraska, Alabama's Nick Saban spent Wednesday recruiting the Baton Rouge area.

The Daily Reveille reports that Saban flew into the Baton Rouge airport and was escorted by Louisiana State Troopers to an undisclosed location.

The Monroe News Star reports that Saban sees this as a prime time to invade his old stomping gounds.

"That's why he's in the state right now," Bastrop (La.) coach Brad Bradshaw said. "He sees an opportunity to pounce, and that's what he's doing."
