Melvin Ray played baseball instead of going to Bama. I'm not sure I would consider that a flip
quote:Alabama held on to him all of that time because Auburn was recruiting him as a linebacker just like Alabama. Auburn later started recruiting him as a running back (Rivals even changed his position), flipped him, forced Alabama to start recruiting him for the same and Alabama flipped him back.
Calloway was a Bama commit for a year before he flipped to Auburn at the all star game three weeks before signing day. I would say Bama held on to him more than Bama flipped him.
It was a flip.

Yes he did but he decided to play baseball for the Dodgers organization for three years instead of ever coming to Bama. It is a stretch to say he flipped to Auburn. He basically went through the recruiting process again once he decided to give up baseball and I honestly don't recall if Bama was interested at that time. They very well could have been, but I don't recall.
