Yea, actually I did. He pretty much said AU led the entire time and visited AU about 20 times.

Premium board.
So only told to those that pay for TN info. Again, I am not saying it is not true, I don't know. But surely you understand that different sources have different levels of credibility, right? If J Lee says on his premium message board that an AU recruit said things detrimental to kid that went to another school and a "staff" member confirmed it, I am sure everyone would believe it without question.

Don't see any reason why Antonio Richardson, Clear, and Arnett would make something like that up.

That's not going to cut it with WDE24.

He's gotta have cold, hard evidence and sound proof before he will ever believe anything remotely negative about AU.

A multitude of smoke billowing from that program can be choking him to death and he will STILL scream AU's innocence from the mountain-tops of Lee County.

I never heard him mention UT seriously until a few weeks before signing day. He was thought to be about as much of an AU lock as a recruit can be.

My point being.....who cares? If he changed his mind 5 mins. before he announced....so? It doesn't make him a bad kid.

Reminds me a lot of bammers after the Albert Means saga. Except there actually was proof and y'all still blamed everyone else.

so he texted 2 hours before his announcement, and yet he had a pre-made hat that says "Nick who?"

I don't either, I am still waiting to see where they said it.

Here is my issue. Every school's fans/message board moderators (including AUs) develop these self serving reasons/excuses for why they missed out on a big recruit they thought they had. These reasons are sometimes completely true, sometimes half truths and sometimes completely wrong.

I don't know whether to believe your report or not. I am just looking to read the info for myself and figure out the source where I can make my own judgment as to how much credibility I am willing to give the story. Whether I ultimately believe it or not will never change the fact of whether it happened or not, but I don't just blindly believe everything I read on a message board and am looking for more info.

It's not a post on a message board, it's an article from the guy who runs the site with a quote from Antonio Richardson saying he did this.

Hubbs doesn't rationalize, he's probably one of the more objective rivals mods out there. Despite his grammar defecencies.

It's not a knock on your team, coaches and players do things like this all the time.

Kiffin and Ed O are the masters of this tactic. Recruiting is a dirty business, you do what you can within the law to throw your competition off.

All in all, we probably deserved it.

That's the info I was asking for. Thank you. The way these recruits act, I don't doubt it could/did happen, I was just trying to understand the source of the info and that source's credibility.

Mods on every recruiting site come up with reasons/justifications that their predictions were wrong. I was trying to determine if that was the case here or if he reported actual quotes from recruits and the coaching staff. Now you have said he quoted one of the recruits. That is the info I was seeking.

What an arse I am wanting proof rather than rumor.

First, I have never proclaimed anyone's innocence on here. Second, the whole smoke = fire anology is a weak excuse for a lack of any real evidence for those manufacturing smoke on internet message boards with the hope that the fire is really there.
