Alabama's Nick Saban is mining for more recruits in Mobile and Baldwin Counties.

The Crimson Tide coach is back in Tuscaloosa after a 10 hour recruiting trip that included stops at McGill-Toolen and Daphne High Schools.

Saban is spending the week recruiting and trying to garner public support for a possible rematch with the LSU Tigers in the BCS Championship. Alabama is currently No. 2 in the standings. But the Tide is off this week while No 1. LSU plays Georgia in the SEC Championship and No. 3 Oklahoma State plays Oklahoma.

Saban landed at the Downtown Air Center at Brookley Field at 8:30 this morning in the Crimson Tide Foundation's Gulfstream G100 twin engine jet. The plane took off at 6:53 p.m. and landed in Tuscaloosa at 7:22 p.m.
