The most high-profile 2009 Alabama commitments were being recruited by Thompson. His list included Pensacola running back Trent Richardson, Foley lineman D.J. Fluker, St. Paul's quarterback AJ McCarron and Andalusia linebacker Nico Johnson.
During early conversations with Tennessee's new head coach Lane Kiffin, Thompson was adamant that he would not try to recruit any of his current Crimson Tide commitments to the Vols in the next three weeks.
"I wouldn't go back on any of the kids I recruited from my area," Thompson said. "That ain't the way I'm going to do it."
