Highly doubt Russaw made it to AU without anyone noticing.

It was reported that he was in Auburn

I choose to believe that Russaw is/was in Auburn and Marlon was a designed smokescreen.

Yep, but in a lot of their Twitter posts, they tag Madhouse no matter where they are, so the fact Marlon tagged Madhouse doesn’t really mean anything.

Its probably to help promote Madhouse since people are following those guys pretty closely.

The room in the pic that Marlon posted definitely doesn’t look like any room in an Auburn facility. I’d imagine that a room at Mad House.

Have they said if he showed or not? Or just haven’t said anything?

The point, which you apparently cannot grasp, is that tagging Madhouse in a photo does not mean that is where they are. They tag Madhouse in ALL their photos.

They could be in Montgomery. They could be in ATL. They could be in Auburn. That pic doesn’t indicate anything about where they are except that Marlon is with Russaw which for Auburn is probably as good as being IN Auburn.

Oh I can grasp it. I’m just 100% certain they’re in Montgomery at MadHouse.

I haven’t seen anybody squash Caleb’s post.

I choose to believe AA7’s theory.

Pinkston says he interviewed James Smith and the visit made his decision “harder.”


Which isn’t that positive.

Why are you 100% certain they are there? but even if that pic is in Madhouse, you cannot be 100% certain he hasn’t been in Auburn. They aren’t exactly across the world from each other

He could’ve definitely been in Auburn as well. I’m not arguing that part. I’ve seen a room that looks like that from other twitter posts from madhouse.

If it weren’t for Mr. Potato Head totally shitting the bed, both of them would’ve already been committed to Auburn a long time ago. It’s clear their hearts are in Auburn, or else they would’ve already committed to uat.

KN posted an interview article with James Smith here's some quotes from Smith:


quote:


5-star defensive tackle James Smith of Montgomery (Ala.) Carver said Saturday after visiting Auburn he is torn about his commitment decision and will look for help from above.

“Pray,” Smith said. “Just pray to God to give me the right decision. Because I don’t know if I can make it myself.”


quote:

“It went good,” Smith said. “Made it a lot more harder but it went good.”


quote:

“Coach Freeze really has a vision. Really a family guy,” Smith said. “I feel like he’s right for Auburn.”


quote:

Freeze’s message: “Telling me to make the long-term decision,” Smith said. “Come where it’s going to help you in the long run.”


quote:


Smith also spent time with new defensive line coach Jeremy Garrett and secondary coach Zac Etheridge, among others. Etheridge is his area recruiter.

“Always good with Zac,” Smith said. “I’ve been with Zac since I’ve been recruited here.”


quote:

What will it come down to for Smith?

“I don’t know it anymore,” Smith said. “What was important ain’t important no more. I don’t know.”




quote:

Later, he added, “See what happens, for real.”

Saban is a liberal dem. Just throwing that out there while you’re praying James.

Nobody knows anything. In the grand scheme of things whether he makes it or not doesn’t matter that much to affect my 33 year old arse’s Saturday. We could land him and he be a bust. We could whiff and he be a bust. We could land him and he be a stud. We could whiff and be be a stud. 4 different possibilities on top of many other possibilities. His backup could be a stud. We have to stay stoic while the coaching staff gets built.

We have ourselves a proven recruiter who landed elite studs at Ole Miss. I think we are in it after reading those quotes from Smith.

We’ll see what happens.

Is it possible Russaw went to Auburn but kept it on the dl since it was reported he was tired of the recruiting process? Just seems weird the websites aren’t reporting whether he made it or not besides that one report where they “heard he made it”.

I guess Singleton wasn’t the flip. Wonder if it was an actual commit or not.
