-Itoldalthea: "From what I have been told from people close to the situation, and close to Rashaan,he will be at Auburn next year. I believe that to be true. "

-AUJyo: "Ran into one of my buddies at the bar last night who's cousin is a scout for Auburn. Believes 100% we'll land Evans, Smith and Williams. Also said 2 guys will be flipping to AU on NSD. Wouldn't tell me who but I guessed Godchaux and Harris and he got real quiet"

-BigtimeAub: Quote me if you want, ban me forever and ever if I'm wrong, but I'm here to tell you that Alan is playing the roll of troll of all trolls and anyone buying that crap is doing nothing but feeding the troll. Alan is eating up the attention and wants nothing more than to stir the pot. You could say that Alan is living vicariously through Rashaan right now and he wants the eyes of the world on Rashaan's announcement. Anything he does and says between now and RE's announcement is just to keep the drama and attention up. If Alan could go live on ESPN for every waking moment between now and RE's ceremony, non-stop, like a 24/7 reality show of Alan Evans, he would do it. I have it on good authority that RE is all AU, has been, and Alan is all show. This is like Alan's second chance to prove himself to the world and is doing so through Rashaan, and he is eating it up. But, for all of the overly emotional sissy types out there that have to freak out at the drop of a hat, please, continue to panic and "just die" every time Alan yanks your short hairs (knowing that he's going to get the reaction out of you that you're giving him). Carry on. For the rest of us, Rashaan is coming to Auburn. His mind is made up and has been for quite a while, despite what Keith, Bryan, Penny, or writers from any other site might type up and post on the interwebz. Take a deep breath and smile. We got this.

-TexasTide21 (Bama poster) As you guys know, I rarely have information about recruits, but I certainly have one here for sure. I've kept quiet about it, because things were cloudy for a while. What ChaseUA said in his thread about Evans this morning is spot on. I contacted my source who is very, very, very close to the Evans' family and he is indeed all Auburn. He loves Saban and his mind likes Bama but his heart is in Lee County, AL. Unless something major changes, that's what it will be. Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to move forward from him. Nice get for the Tigers. RTR!

-Tim Watts: I would say 30% right now maybe. AU the team to beat. Have not heard decision is made. People close to AU don't seem convinced its over. But AU has made top priority and deservingly so. (CB to auburn)

-Charles Power: UA has a better shot with Evans than most think. I'd put it in the 40-50% range right now. Still a week or so to go, but it's a UA-AU battle with each side having some things working in their favor. (CB to Auburn) -

WarBird: Evans... My source puts it at 95% AU. Says his heart truly is at Auburn and really likes Gus. This would be a huge get for AU. -

Bryan Matthews: I'm usually less optimistic, but right now I think Auburn gets R Evans, A Williams and B Smith and a DB. (CB to Auburn) 65% to Auburn -

Austin Penny: I expect Auburn to land Evans, Williams and Smith. I believe that JUCO WR D'haquille Williams will contribute the most next season. (CB to Auburn)- 70% to Auburn -

Keith: 60% to Auburn, CB to Auburn. Someone who knows Evans well thinks it looks good for Auburn right now, and that his heart is with the Tigers. This person also cited staying close to his parents and brother was a factor. But ... he does not feel this one is over. Right now, the Tigers staff apparently feels the same way. The best phrase to describe it: cautiously optimistic. Apparently, the Tigers just haven't gotten the sense one way or another what Evans will do. That said, they think they've done a great job selling the defense, the program, the school, etc.

-Grady Jr (bama poster): To pull that big steal from auburn. We get at least one big one every recruiting year. :) (Note no mention of any specific player) -

Chase UA (bama poster): A friend of mine from Enterprise knows Alan Evans (Rashaan's father) very well and we had a lengthy conversation last night. I've debated on whether or not to share what I gathered as I know I will be down-voted to oblivion since it's not what people want to hear, however I figured some may appreciate it: Auburn is where Rashaan's heart is but his brain has been Alabama's since November. He said ultimately he expects his heart to win out as he is receiving a lot of pressure from both family and friends to choose the hometown Tigers. Surprisingly, he said that Alan is the only one in the "inner circle" that doesn't seem to be steering Rashaan towards AU. He states despite what's being said publicly that Alan still has concerns over AU's plans involving Rashaan and how that will translate to his skill set. Alan is a huge fan of Coach Saban and "the process". He also mentioned that Alan thinks it would be nice for Rashaan to get away from home a bit for college so he can develop into a man and hopefully develop into a guy with a long NFL career. With all that said he stated that Rashaan is more open to AU's plans for him (perhaps teenage naivety?) after meeting with Coach Ellis and that his most recent visit to them was enough to seal the deal for the Barn. He stated that AU guaranteed him early playing time and all but guaranteed he would start his first game there. He states Bama made no such promises but reiterated that they did not plan to redshirt him but any playing time would have to be earned and that he would be given a chance to do so.

-Walls98 (bama poster)- downright adamant that Evans is "barn" bound.

- Shannon Terry, Barton Simmins, Kipp Adams, UGA mods, : CB to Auburn -

JC Shurburtt: "shocked if Evans ended up anywhere but auburn." CB to Auburn -

Mercertiger11- "from a family member of a current commit, Evans to Auburn. Spoke to his nephew and teammate and all Auburn

. -LB7: "when its all said and done, evans will sign with Auburn."

-Walk on 85: "He told Gus and his parents he was an Auburn man at the end of his visit.

" -Austudnt23: "Evans will be an AU Tiger"

-Andrew Bone (Bama mod on rivals): Evans is an AU lean -

Bigbird: "myself feel very confident in AU signing Evans" As of now, AU is #1

-Aupops2: "FWIW, based on information I received this morning, we survived their best shot, and for now, everything looks good."
