re: A quick run-down of the state of Alabama's top recruits...

SDH said Auburn pushed for a commitment, he told them he was going to Bama.

We were told by Auburn insiders that Shaun Dion Hamilton told our coaching staff that he was going to flip, met with the coaches following the Iron Bowl, couldn't make his mind up, and the coaches told him they were moving on and decided to stop recruiting him.

Obviously, Auburn and Alabama fans are hearing different things, so I doubt we ever know what truly happened... Either way, it doesn't really affect me that much.

However, IMO (which isn't worth much), it seems like the story Auburn insiders are telling sounds accurate, at least to some degree. Kieth Niebuhr changed his pick twice within a short period of time...
