Saw this on another board:
Alabama assistant coach Curt Cignetti visited Athens High, which has a Distance Learning Lab that allows Athens students to take online classes by using a live webcam.
Cignetti left behind a web address that Ming used to log on later that day and spend 15-20 minutes talking, through the webcam, with Saban, who was in his office in Tuscaloosa.
Athens High Coach Allen Creasy, who witnessed the conversation, called it "a first from a recruiting standpoint" for his school.
"You could see (Saban's) facial expressions and hand gestures just as if you were sitting across the desk from him," Creasy said. "It's the next-best thing to being there in person."
