1. violation of team rules

    Saban:
    "he made a mistake, he didn't do the right thing, it wasn't a very smart thing to do and there has to be consequences sometimes when you don't do the right things.
    "Hopefully he'll learn from it and it will make him better and he'll have a better chance to be successful in life."

    DePriest, a junior, was #2 on Bama's team in tackles last season. as a recruit:
    #6 on the Scout300, 5-star
    #23 on the Top 247, 4-star
    #38 on the ESPN150, 4-star
    #97 on the Rivals100, 4-star
    offers to LSU, Florida, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Stanford, etc


    Sophomore tight end Malcolm Faciane returned to practice Tuesday after serving a 30-day suspension for an undisclosed violation of team rules. "He's now going through his five-day acclimation period," Saban said. (LOL WAT???)

    as a recruit, Faciane was:
    #82 on the ESPN100, 4-star
    #102 on the Top 247, 4-star

  2. Nip it in the bud. Sometimes the answer is NO!!
  3. thugs.
  4. Coach Saban has always been cryptic about suspensions and such when it comes to the players. So even though this stuff is often shrouded in mystery, I thought it significant to learn there is a new sign in the athletic complex that reads: "We don't swim in your toilet, please don't pee in a our pool." These kids.
  5. I heard that he broke his very strict diet that was implemented by the team to get him to lose weight.

    I like to think it was something more serious than that.
