Remember Willie Lyles and How he was bringing Auburn Down?

I don't remember Auburn being anything other than a minor mention in the Will Lyles story. The way I remember it LSU and Oregon were the 2 most prominently mentioned. We were briefly mentioned due to Seastrunk but even that seemed to show us in a good light because we had stopped recruiting him.

With that said frick Oregon.

Dang folks, here is a link.. plus remember Lache was an Auburn recruit also...

From BSPN:LINK

The NCAA, according to sources, is also examining Lyles' relationship with Sean Nelson of Thibodeaux, La., whose own relationship with top football prospects has been scrutinized by the NCAA. Last month, NCAA investigators interviewed former Thibodeaux High School coach Dennis Lorio about Auburn's recruitment of receiver Trovon Reed and offensive lineman Greg Robinson this year. Reed signed with Auburn last year; Robinson signed with the Tigers in February.

Robinson and his mother also were questioned by NCAA officials.

I agree it was about web hits and folks using Auburn to get them. Still the NCAA investigated and that was widely reported. We knew we were OK, but this was seen again as Auburn going down. Along with Cam, the HBO 4. It is part of the Auburn is dirty story.

This may have been before some of your guys time.

Thayer Evans of FoxSports.com first mentioned the Nelson-Auburn-Thibodaux connection back on January 8th.

The above is not proof at all that Auburn landed Reed or Robinson illegally. But the fact that the NCAA is snooping around asking questions should worry Tiger fans more than any off-the-wall claims or audio snippets coming from an attention-seeking radio host.

ETA: LINK added... Oregon Investigation could lead back to SEC... Seriously, there was a lot of talk (Fbaum, etc.) how this was bad for Auburn...

More from the story...

Lyles, a Houston resident, has been tied to other high school players from Louisiana and Texas, who eventually signed with schools such as Auburn, Baylor, LSU, Oklahoma State, Southern California and Texas A&M.

Is that proof that Lyles, Auburn or LSU did anything wrong? Nope. But as we always say, it’s best to stay off the NCAA radar altogether. It’s never a good thing to be tied in any way, shape or form to someone the NCAA is investigating. Period.

But here’s the real concern for Auburn:

The NCAA, according to sources, is also examining Lyles’ relationship with Sean Nelson of Thibodeaux, La., whose own relationship with top football prospects has been scrutinized by the NCAA.

We're good. Lorio is a fricking idiot and tried everything he could to get both to LSU. If anything LSU would be in trouble with his involvement.

Don't be a dolt. That article was done over two years ago that you linked. They already investigated down in Thib. Not worried about a damn thing.

I was being sarcastic.

I dont remember cause I dont care.
