In the opinion of non-bammers & non-barners (Spencer Regions)

What do you guys think happened here?
I mean...here are Spencer's quotes after committing to Saban:
"I am going to Alabama," Region told Scout.com before the announcement. "My family knew that's where I wanted to go. They thought it was a good idea. Coach (Nick) Saban said to commit if I wanted to. Coach Saban was really excited. He said he has big plans for me."
"This is a dream come true," he told Scout.com before the announcement. "Ever since I was little I have always wanted to run out of the tunnel at Bryant Denny."
Now...why would a kid who says that not commit to Bama at a point when they are on top of the college football world?
What could possible have happened in those few hours that not only changed his mind about his Bama commitment, but convinced him to sign with their sworn enemies?
It just doesn't make any sense to me, and I'd like some fans with no 'dog in this hunt' to opine.
If any barners respond in this thread, you have the ghey.

I don't think anything shady went down, I'm just angry at how the kid handled it. The kid obviously has no integrity.

According to his quotes, seems like he really liked Bama, but liked AU's coaching staff more. Didnt he say, " they love me, I love them" about AU? 
"I felt like I was taken for granted even by the coaching staff at Alabama. That's just not where I need to be. I'm not about to go into that kind of program.
Region said Alabama wouldn't allow him to visit other schools if he committed. Auburn didn't care.
"Auburn said it's fine. They want me to go to other places," he said. "They encouraged me to go to other places. They said they know if I know I want to come to Auburn, it won't matter where I visit. We are family at Auburn," he said. "I'm real close to the coaching staff and I just feel at home there. I've always felt comfortable with all of the coaches at Auburn. I feel like I can go to them with any problem I have. That's a big thing.

Maybe he just realized what a dick and a lier Saban is.
It happens.
It happens.

The gist I get is this: It's okay for any player to de-commit from a school and go to Alabama, but not okay for any player to de-commit from Alabama and choose another school.
Am I missing something?

I think he was so excited to know that he will be able to get the hell out of Cullman, Al that he just started naming places.

Basically, Saban didn't kiss his arse as much as Chizik was obviously ready to. Sometimes that's how it happens. It's February. There is still a ton of time left until NSD 2011. I wouldn't be surprised to see this kid flip-flop...a lot.

Do you need us to make you feel better, or can you really not figure this one out?
After reading the story, it appears that Bama didn't have room for him and he got his feelings hurt and picked Auburn. No big deal...at least you have a coach that can read a clock.
Now go
yourself...
