Price of recruit: 'At least' an SUV
A Memphis, Tenn., recruit's high school football coach wanted "at least" an SUV in return for the player's signature, former Georgia coach Jim Donnan testified Friday in federal court.
Donnan said that's when the Bulldogs stopped pursuing Albert Means, whose well-publicized 2000 recruitment is the subject of an Alabama booster's federal racketeering trial.
Donnan's testimony came in the fifth day of the trial of Memphis millionaire Logan Young, who is accused of paying former Trezevant High School coach Lynn Lang $150,000 to make sure that Means signed with Alabama.
Alabama was charged with NCAA recruiting violations in the Means case and eventually received sanctions that included a loss of scholarships, plus a two-year ban from bowl participation.
