You could make an argument with foster being a highly rated guy who went back to Bammer but Callaway and most of the guys we lost where just waiting for Bama offers. I think you're insane if you think we could even attempt red elephant club level of pay for play after the Cam Newton scandal. We also didn't have psychotic parents willing to kidnap a kid just so he couldn't sign.

Good luck on the discussion part. It’s more of a copy/paste operation on his end

I am a little worried about Perry. I haven’t seen anything from Perry to indicate him wavering but you never know based on history.



I said this a couple of weeks ago when Chex said there was 0% chance. That just can’t be true. He’s a former Bama commit with relationships from that program. That was never gonna be completely over unless Perry told them to stop. And he clearly hasn’t

I’m not expecting him to flip but it wouldn’t be a surprising outcome to me.

Most recruits that we lost to Bama where guys who liked us BEFORE they got a Bama offer. TJ Yeldon was a 4 star who blew up like Cam Coleman, then fell in love with Bammer just before the dead period. Perry was a prized 5* who decommited and Saban is having to scratch and claw to get back in it. Big difference.

Yeldon had a Bama offer the entire time. He was highly sought after from the beginning of his recruitment.

Foster was always a big time recruit. Committed to Bama. Flipped to Auburn. Flipped back.

Rahsaan Evans. Highly sought after the entire time. Trolled us committed to Bama.

The big 5star OT and Calloway were a little different because they were committed to Bama the whole time.

So what you just said isn’t really true. Again I don’t think it will happen with Perry but you’re a fool if you don’t have a little doubt in your mind.

Also you think Alabama has less material to negatively recruit us right now? Are you high?

He posts and then everyone shite post spams him because he says something they don’t want to hear. He has responded to some but I don’t really blame him for not responding to some of the AuburnEaglers around here.

This board is full of sunshine pumpers. Very little realistic thinkers.

TJ Yeldon was not a highly rated guy before he committed to us man. He was no scrub or no name guy but he didn't get a 5* until the middle of his senior season. He played on national television back in the day and got a recruiting bump. Bama did NOT view him as their top back until late in the process. You got me on radio going back to Bama, but I'm saying that these scenarios don't match up the same, yet people are acting like a de commit is likely while using these recruits as examples.

We’re not going to counter the big late offer?


I don’t know. Are we going to dish out another six figures when we’re already paying a premium for Ryan Williams? I hope so.

You have already confessed you have no sources, just bama fans telling you gossip. Then you run to this board and pretend like the sky is falling and we should believe you.

Good on you.

His track record is that he likes trolling this thread. He’s trolled about Freeze being hired, trolled about Freeze not recruiting well, trolling Chex about Ryan Williams (which is admittedly hilarious), and also now Perry Thompson

Trolling doesn’t make someone wrong. Just also don’t need to pretend he’s here for discussion. That’s just silly

That’s correct Jones depending on portal and high school he might be culled. Totally forgot about him

pretty close. That’s why you never use a chainsaw from a ladder, even in your backyard. I support construction work in O&G and Mining so sometimes have to mind these gentle giants

Great thanks.

I’ll wait for your review on who and who I don’t respond to next quarter.

The board needs an ignore function… would really help quality of content.

Chex is the only person I’ve seen completely rule out a Perry Thompson flip.

You’re just not happy enough with our wait and see/refusal to meltdown reaction to rumors.

Nothing surprises me anymore in recruiting. Losing Perry Thompson wouldn’t be the end of the world to me. Just my thoughts here
