Hmm.. I don't post there, but I'm pretty sure when UA won a NC they didn't start a 2000 page megathread like tidefans did, which is full of all sorts of imaginitive and entertaining ideas that is still frequently posted in daily. It's not really an outlandish theory considering the timeline of events, but I suppose we're to believe that he had a last minute change of heart.

You can't even pick the right board where the real conspiracy theorists reside.
I am hopeful, since it looks as if you are staying, your posts improve. So far the couple I have seen are turrible. Good luck on that.

"The Family" quick to the defense of a fellow member. Such an admirable trait; unlike Yeldon our prized recruit.
AuburnEagle must let you all roam pretty far these days.

Why is this thread still going? Yeldon is enrolled at Alabama now. End of story.

See what I mean? Frickin terrible flames. Do all of you other Bama posters think this poster flames bad, or am I just being biased as an AU fan?

no that was a shitty flame attempt

I also still stand behind my feeling we shouldn't skull drag him either.
Totally agree. Afterall, the kid is just (18). I could give a shite where he goes to school. Honestly, I've never understood why he was committed to Auburn in the first place given our depth chart and recruitment of Robinson.
If there is any anger to be directed in this deal, I think that should be reserved for the parents, high school coach, and recruiters. They all had to advise him of this route. It was planned too perfectly for an (18) year old to come up with on his own.

I hope he has a fantastic life off the football field, earns a good degree, earns lots of money, and raises a fantastic family.
On the football field? I hope he's terrible. And this has nothing to do with Yeldon per se... I always hope Bama football players trip over their own feet every step they take while on the field.
Why in the hell should I hope Yeldon or any other Bama football player has success on the field?

None of us know nothing of his situation, what his dad had asked him to do, or anything. I am grateful that I wasn't labeled in life for the mistakes and error in judgement I made at 18.
Its perfectly fine to "label" an 18 year old on the basis of their own behavior and actions.
Now they don't deserve that "label" to become a permanent tattoo... they do grow up after all. But even 18 year olds are responsible for their own actions, good or bad.
I see a lot of ersatz "adults" in this room who would make permanent children of 18 year olds by excusing everything they do because, gosh, golly, gee, they're "young".

However, you made some good points in the fact he did owe coaches at AU better for the trust and value they put in the relationship. The thing is there wasn't much the coaches were going to be able to do that close to the silent period anyway.
Any high school athlete who is being recruited owes the coaches who are recruiting them respect (at least as far as those same coaches are respecting HIM).
I have a hard time believing that a recruit of the quality of Yeldon was NOT given 5-star treatment by the Auburn staff for a long, long time (probably more than two years). His shut-out to them at the end was a slap in the face compared to how he'd been treated by those Auburn coaches previously.
And, yes, I believe this applies to Nick Saban and his staff too. If they are doing what they can to show respect and "love" to a recruit that pulled this same kind of shite, they wouldn't deserve it either.

oh no i agree it was premeditated by YELDON and yeldon alone.
Like I said, I have no problem with him changing his mind (other than I would rather he go to Auburn than Alabama), but he clearly acted inappropriately and immaturely in the manner in which he did it. It is also pretty obvious that he some direction in the timing of what he did.
Despite that, it was a poor decision by an 18 year old kid (who apparently followed some bad advice). Nothing more, nothing less. I choose to simply call it what it is and move on. From what I have read, he is a good kid despite this one event.

Agree. Yeldon should've just said to the AU coaches, "TR is leaving and I have a better shot at PT next year." Not taking a bitch move like he did. But, good luck to him.

Have you actually looked at your depth chart for RB? Isn't that good.

Nah if you read my position as a whole I believe he should be held accountable. However, what do we all really know? He is a teenager who can still be influenced by adults, and therefore I will not judge him as harshly as some.
I have 5 children and believe me I held them accountable at a very early age so I am far from an "ersatz adult". I would venture to say I am even older then you, if not close to the same age (not that age determines maturity of an adult).
Bottom line we only know what is written on message boards, texts, pay sites, etc. We all know how reliable they are right? I guess the way Cam was hammered through the boards, the news, blogs, and many other ways made me take something away from it all. I have tried to hold judgement till I feel I know the real truth, or as much as possible from reliable sources.
Again this works for me and if it doesn't work for others? Cool, no worries have at it, but I will provide my opinion on the matter.

Agree if in fact he didn't? I have yet to see something that tells what really happened. Is there a link I have yet to see? Do we know for sure he didn't call Chizik, or who was recruiting him?
I am sincerely asking. I have only read speculative theories thus far.

Why is this topic still going??? TY is enrolled at UA...
He chose UA because it's a better gateway to the NFL. Not to mention better equipped for title contention, slimmer depth chart, etc... They're 100 reason why Bama is a better suit for him. Leave it alone he's not gonna magically show up at AU.
