Well, Taylor did talk to Auburn from what I've read. If true, that suggests Malzahn was considering taking him. His statements may well be PR after Taylor showed more interest in Alabama. Even Auburn fans are saying that Auburn lost interest only after some domestic violence issues made news in the NFL, which may well have been a good excuse for Auburn to take the moral high ground in what was a lost cause.

I remember when Urban Meyer made similar statements about domestic violence, until it suited his needs to think otherwise. Malzahn's tolerance of guys like Newton, Marshall, Dyer, says that his ethics are quite flexible depending on the circumstance/need. I've also read about some of their top WR's that got into trouble several times, including one this season, but Gus managed to overlook it.

I hate Gus, but I disagree with you on this. Yes, he has taken players in that have had off the field issues, but domestic violence is a whole different deal than smoking pot or stealing. I don't think he would have ever taken Taylor, but he absolutely would not have considering how prevalent of an issue it has become over the last year.
