Regarding Evans:(Free Article)
“I kind of took out the aspect of me being so stressed out about choosing a school. I sat down with my parents and we just talked about the best school for me. “
He did say that he got some advice from a former Auburn High teammate who also selected the Tide over the Tigers.
A year ago Reuben Foster was the nation’s top linebacker prospect. He had transferred from a Georgia high school to play his senior season at Auburn High. Foster announced for Auburn during his senior year, but on Signing Day went with Alabama.
Evans said that Foster helped him in the recruiting process. "He told me to pick the best school for me,” Evans said. “He told me not to think about it so much where it stresses me out. Reuben is a great guy who went through the same type of thing I went through when he was in high school. He told me to follow my heart and pick the right school for me."
He said that another factor was Alabama’s emphasis on education as well as football.
It may be that the bottom line is that Auburn was unable to convince Evans that he could be a Star. Well, not that he couldn’t. Star is a position in Auburn’s defense. It is not a regular position in any NFL team’s defense. Star is a hybrid defensive back and linebacker. Evans wants to be a rush-the-passer outside linebacker. Like most top players, he wants eventually to play in the NFL, and Alabama holds the trump cards in that game.
Evans said that at Alabama “I’m not expecting anything. What I’m going to do is go in and fight. I’m a person who believes that hard work pays off.”

Hand, Miller, or Evans gets pressure on the quarterback. Brown intercepts and takes it 60 yards to the end zone in 8.19 seconds while hurdling 4 tacklers.

I can't seem to quote anything. I get the "Stop" page.
Was posting about a tweet saying Bama has 3 of the top 4 in the state. LINK

Alabama's 2014 class includes 6 of the top 16 players in the 247composite rankings. All are 5-star prospects.
Damn incredible, if you ask me.

Nope. It's still signing day until midnight. It's still the Cinderella thread until the clock strikes midnight.

Saban with the lowdown double dip according to one of my Auburn buddies.
He swears that Saban got Ruben Foster to transfer to Auburn high school in order to both troll us and to steal Evans away.

Wow. Evans was hardly a blimp on the radar when Foster transferred to AHS.

I appreciate everyone trying to let me make the post that got us to a thousand, but after that Evans' announcement I had to go work off some excitement at the gym.
We got to 1,000 like we wanted. I can't say keeping up with this stuff has been that easy, but that fricking Evans' commitment made it all worth it.
Thanks Bucc for the new sig.
