A kid who signs with another school is not a "traitor." And if you tweet that at a kid you probably should not be trusted w/ sharp objects.

@slmandel if you are referring to Auburn fans...Evans lied to Auburn commits and coaches..a traitor is someone who betrays friends or a liar
There is much anger in his tweet.

Today has truly rocked. A lot of humble kids picking schools today. No divas really like in past years.
It has.
A part of me thinks the Evans stuff reminds me of Cadillac Williams.
Grew up a fan of an instate school and realized he had a better NFL potential elsewhere at the time and took the opportunity.
A lot of AU fans seem to be wondering when the last time a Bama recruit got away quite like this instate and it is without a doubt Cadillac.

No prob buddy
Now some things I heard over the last couple days
- Travis Rudolph did reach out to staff and almost flipped to Bama but FSU calmed him down with the assurance that they didn't feel like Dupre would really leave La
- Mosley's little brother turned down UAB scholly to walk-on at Bama
- I think Alan Evans wasn't sold on AU's plan For Rashaan on D and kept Bama in the mix and he was closest of any coaches to Kirby. Both agreed that RE needed to get away and Mom was against that but Bama was close enough. He was seriously considering UCLA even ahead of Bama at one point as the school to "get away" apparently Mom wouldn't let him go visit. Bama was the compromise. Rueben also helped tremendously especially in the definable week.
- Bama is signing the most complete class BY FAR under Saban with the final addition of Evans. Full OL, full DL, full LB corps, full secondary, great RB, 2 great QBs, Hback/TE, good group of WRs.......JUST frickIN STACKED
- Still trying to get info on Chad Thomas, he was seriously thinking of flipping this morning and it wasn't an attention ploy I promise I have a feeling that if his parents would've come on his OV he likely would've flipped. Mario gave it his best shot.
- Chris Williams and OJ were both asked to GS, Williams wasn't grades but personal matter, OJ still needs some classroom help but the situation isn't bleak, looking like he will likely make it hopefully.
- Top class by all services STARTING NSD and will end that way
