Meh. He wasn't actually switched until later in the year.

Of course Bryan Matthews reported that

How the hell do you know he was lied to? Bama may of had no intention of moving him when he signed, but after looking at him for nearly a season it was obvious he was never going to play running back at Alabama. Then they asked him to switch to get on the field. He had the right to transfer, but quit being a little bitch because Auburn has moved players to different positions as well. He even said in the article he didn't feel mislead, but somehow that didn't make Bryan Matthew's summation.

As if Auburn has never done the same. Looking forward to seeing Kerryon Johnson as a running back when he'd be a way better safety.

Quote from article
"Grant eventually decided to transfer, and Nick Saban asked Grant to give cornerback one try. He couldn’t do it. He maintains he didn’t feel misled but called it a “learning experience,” and one that’s not unique in the college football culture of recruiting promises and stockpiling talent."
I remember saban saying he was surprised he wanted to transfer, he thought he would play a role in the offense the year he transferred.

Maybe Brian Mathews should write about the lies that ol' Trooper and Luper told, now that would be good reading.

Barner Matthews is the worst

Bryan Matthews lies a lot too.

Is this idiot really trying to tie this in to players' rights?

he was given a shot at rb, it was clear he was not going to crack the rotation, he was given an opportunity to try and see the field elsewhere. he didnt want to so he transferred, to a team where he still will never start at running back.

First no one from AU wrote the article.
Second it says Bama asked him to switch as soon as he got on campus.
Why gumps lying and saying he was given a chance at RB and blaming an AU writer for a national article?

He started off at RB and it was obvious he was going to be buried on the DC, so the staff tried to put him somewhere he could useful.
But I'm sure they recruited him with the intentions to immediately move him to DB. Saban really likes 5'9, 170lb corners that have never played the position.

OH THAT POOR LITTLE BABY. THE HUMANITY!

Par for the course. Saben knew he was not going to use him as RB, told him he would, and therefore kept him away from a rival school - temporarily. "
The players would do themselves a favor to think for themselves sometimes though and try to see through these promises.

quote:Yup, just like a lot of other kids. It happens everywhere. It's a recruiting tool that nearly all coaches use, and it works. Get them committed, get them signed, get them on campus, let them try to position they wanted to play, and then switch them to the position the coaches want or need him to play. Not a big deal, IMO.
Corey Grant lied to in the recruiting process
As for the thread, yes, Corey Grant was lied to. Yes, Auburn fans called that. Yes, he should have gone to Auburn out of high-school. Do I care? No, just glad to have him where he really wanted to be.

Saban also told him while he was being recruit that, (obviously paraphrased) "We're going to switch to a spread offense to keep up with the times and we want you to be the feature back."
I mean, honestly, if you're gonna actually buy that, I really don't know what to say
