Is he Don Corleone?

Does anyone know if it was just business? The OP was kinda vague on that point

He might be the CEO of 247 sports, but he is also still an Alabama fan and homer. Maybe what he says is true, but I am sure he wrote that in part to calm the bammer melt about their best recruiter leaving for exactly the same position at Auburn

This is almost 100% correct. It left out the part where Lance asked "Kirby, why am I out?" And Kirby responded "You're not a wartime consigliari, Lance."
Then Saban offered him a greyshirt, and said he could sit out the Fall and come back to coach next Spring. Apparently Lance didn't take it.

Sounds like the SID had to work overtime to get the talking points out for the "Multiple sources".
Posted on 1/14/15 at 9:33 am to Tuscaloosa
Come back when someone that is not a Bama beat writer or fan says it. They know better than to say he wanted to be at Auburn more than Bama. The fact Saban keeps taking him back shows how much Saban wants him.

Lies
The real story:
***Lance Thompson was under tremendous pressure from Saban and the REC to perform
***Thompson was very uncomfortable driving with large sacks full of cash in his car to visit recruits and refs
***The breaking point is when Thompson received phone calls at 1:57 am, 2:13 am, and 2:57 am from Saban on Saturday, January 3 asking him to review film for next season
***Reportedly, when word got out that Thompson had been stolen by Auburn, Saban had Thompson's new puppy put to sleep in retaliation

Here's a challenge to you Auburn fans:
Go to the bodda getta and ask your Auburn admins if they think Shannon Terry is wrong.
Tell me what they say.
