One of these is not like the rest. Not sure why everyone thought Evans was a lock but he isnt the one I'm speaking of.

He would have had a spot at the end, but after a year of being told "No" he decided against it. Regardless we signed a full class. We didn't hold a spot for him.

At the end, probably. In the beginning he got the cold shoulder. Not sure why we ever tried with LF. I guess we could afford to since we had taken four top running backs last year. Come to think of it, Im not sure why we pursued him late in the process either. He is a solid rb, but we have more pressing needs than rb. Plus there are a ton of talented options next year.
In the end, though, who cares how they ended up at the school or where they wanted to go in the beginning. Point is that he will be a beast for AU until he moves on to the NFL. Same type of thing with Evans. He celebrated our demise two and a half months before he signed with us.

Probably is true. Don't care though. We get Roc. They don't.

Have you even watched Bo's highlights? When he was playing in Tuscaloosa as a sophomore, he was already one of the best backs in 6A. We're stacked at RB, and Bo only added to that depth.
I'm not trying to disrespect LF or Roc, but here are Bo's highlights from 2011. Our third best option isn't that bad:

You are obviously misinformed. Bama gets whomever they want. If some kid goes somewhere else, it's because Bama really didn't want him. Get your shite straight.

Tony Brown is from Texas, I don't know why people think he was one of ours. You didn't steal him from us, he wasn't ours to begin with. How's that working out for you guys anyway. Has he been to court yet?

Roc wanted to commit to Bama early on, but he was put on hold as we tried to recruit LF. He grew tired of waiting and settled for Auburn. Any Auburn fan that claims something to the contrary is in denial. It is true that after LF committed to LSU Bama made a late push to try to flip Roc, but it doesn't really matter that we didn't get him considering we already had a RB committed who is ranked higher in both the 247 rankings and the 247 composite rankings.

Are you really bashing Saban's recruiting? What did it hurt to go all out and try and get the kid to leave LA? Bama got a RB in the class and has a nice group of RBs already on campus. They could afford to put all their eggs in one basket at that position this recruiting season.
