Not everything... But this follows the patterns of a flip. Rumored flip/visit, denial, actual visit, flip...

Bama's had a lot of decommitments this year, Walker would make 5.

Looks like we have a week to try to bring him back on board. Could be difficult with the dead period. If he is gone, it makes flipping Liner all that much more important IMO.

I don't see Lawson happening. I know there's been some talk of Liner secretly recruiting RF and Lawson to flip with him, but I find it hard to believe he has that much pull with CL.

Where did all of this with Walker flipping come from? Thought he was pretty solid and was going to be a EE?

Taking an official after denying it, and doing so right before he is suppose to enroll at Bama.

Not exactly the time to "make sure"...

Apparently his high school coach has stated that he's going on an official visit to UF next weekend instead of visiting Bama. There are also reports that he's filed EE paperwork with UF.

Like someone above said, the rumor followed by denial followed by visit definitely fit the pattern of someone flipping.

If that's the case then yeah, sounds like he is wanting to swap and too chicken shite to tell our staff. Although we don't have THAT much room to talk after the Yeldon flip from last year, but whatever.

Like I said a moment ago, come on down Dee and RN and Walker can do like Massie did a few years ago and throw away 2 NC rings.

Transcribed this a few minutes ago:

quote:

Recap of recent video interview of '13 AL OT Austin Golson by Rivals' Mike Farrell at the Army AA Bowl:

*Felt like he didn't take advantage of his options to look at other schools, so is making visits to make sure.

*Enjoyed his visit to UNC, they are still in consideration for his commit.

*Struggled with a percentage of his commitment to FSU presently. Said soft, then 50%, then "I don't know".

*On his upcoming visit to Bama, he hopes to get a better look at the depth chart and how he gets along with the coaches and players.

*What he gathered from his last visits to the Capstone: "Nice, great atmosphere. All about winning there."

*Interested in Ole Miss due to the amount of line man they lose over the next season and that he has heard good things about Coach Freeze.

*Told FSU he would visit them last if he were to look around because that's what FSU wanted.

*FSU staff was upset at him looking aorund, but understood.

*Former Prattville sloth/star and current FSU DT Justin Shanks told Golson he loves it at FSU. Golson questions the validity dryly, he knows it's a pitch.

*Alabama and FSU are recruiting him the hardest(Mike Farrell did put FSU in his mouth before he got to answer)

*Will decide after FSU visit

Did you see the Tenpenny interview? Hard to get a read but I did like his wardrobe choice

Him never taking his eyes off Farrell and rarely looking at the camera had me thinking both ways. You don't usually make eye contact when lying, but sometimes you focus somewhere while telling one.

Should be interesting, really hope he sticks...

And for everyone else:

Same as with Golson, recap of a video interview with '13 AR RB Altee Tenpenny with Rivals' Mike Farrell:

*Note: Wearing a Bama hoodie

*Chose Bama because of the coaching staff, the tradition at the RB position, and that the fans showed him a lot of love every time he went down there.

*Not worried about competition with other backs, said it brings out the best in players

*Gets pressure to go to Arkansas, and has felt more since he committed. Stays level headed though.

*Was contacted by Arkansas 3-4 times a week before the dead period.

*Bama had no objections to his official to Arkansas, and were not worried at all(even make some jokes)

*Feels Bama fans shouldn't be nervous, at the end of the day he'll go where his heart leads him.

*Farrell says since he is taking officials, he says he can't be 100% committed. Tenpenny responded with 90%.

*Will know after his Arkansas visit and no other schools are invloved outside the 2.
