Come back when someone that is not a Bama beat writer or fan says it. They know better than to say he wanted to be at Auburn more than Bama. The fact Saban keeps taking him back shows how much Saban wants him.

Even you can't honestly believe people are melting about losing a recruiter. At Alabama. Who we have lost twice before.

Why did Saban want his best recruiter, outside of himself, to leave the Alabama program weeks before NSD?

Lies

The real story:

***Lance Thompson was under tremendous pressure from Saban and the REC to perform

***Thompson was very uncomfortable driving with large sacks full of cash in his car to visit recruits and refs

***The breaking point is when Thompson received phone calls at 1:57 am, 2:13 am, and 2:57 am from Saban on Saturday, January 3 asking him to review film for next season

***Reportedly, when word got out that Thompson had been stolen by Auburn, Saban had Thompson's new puppy put to sleep in retaliation

Here's a challenge to you Auburn fans:

Go to the bodda getta and ask your Auburn admins if they think Shannon Terry is wrong.

Tell me what they say.

so why don't these people with these crazy connections actually do their fricking jobs and provide the information when they hear it to their paying customers?

No, but ones that have as many sources and connections as he does because of the industry he's in is more likely to know what he's talking about and less likely just to make random shite up.
