Bottom line is this is going to happen. We can't tell the kids what they can and can't do. And on that note if one school is condoning it then all of them better otherwise they are handicapping themselves. And it is obvious that Saban wants our players to bond and be cohesive because it is essential to success as a team. And he is getting these players pumped about playing for Bama and encourages them to pass that on.
We can't get bent out of shape if other schools do it to us because we will do it to them if we get the chance. Just like no team gets mad if a committed prospect takes a visit to another school because it is completely legal and within their rights. If the university doesn't like it then send the recruit packing, which did happen to BJ last year because he basically ran interference on Julio all along. If I recall correctly when Julio visited OU BJ called and asked to take an official visit that weekend and OU originally said yes and later cancelled it when they figured out what was going on and wanted to get Julio alone.
There is a lot of strategy in planning your official visits and great recruiters like Saban, Meyer, and I'm sure Kiffin as well have these weekends well thought out and aren't going to let an 18 year old kid out smart and out recruit them.
