Auburn whoring itself on current players, or not?

Tray Matthews started school at Auburn this past week.

Good for him as he seems to be where he always wanted to be.


As one might suspect, former Georgia assistant Rodney Garner was a big reason the safety decided to transfer to The Plains. But Garner told Phillip Marshall of 247Sports.com that shouldn’t be translated as he or Auburn condones the type of behavior that got Matthews kicked off the team at UGA.

“When this came up and I talked to him, there wasn’t any recruiting,” Garner said. “It was me telling him, ‘that’s a bunch of BS, how you behaved.’ He made some poor choices. Rodney Garner made some poor choices, but we didn’t have social media then.”

Really, why would you ever insinuate their was recruiting charges in the first place unless, you know it was true... Were you and Auburn recruiting a signed and active player on the UGA team? Tray did make those comments he was leaving anyway and just hadn't let the UGA coaching know yet after he was dismissed.

quote:

“That’s basically the reason why I got kicked off though,” Matthews said of the classroom incident. “That’s what [coach Mark Richt] told me basically. … Yeah, I think it’s kind of some of the arrest stuff, too, though. But I was basically, I was leaving anyways, I just hadn’t put that in the media.”

Garner said he believes Matthews will make the best of his second chance at Auburn.

quote:

---

“I don’t have any interest in recruiting thugs and jerks to Auburn,” Garner said. “But I do believe some kids make mistakes, even though they are actually good kids. They make poor decisions. They have to answer for it.”

Once again here he is mentioning recruiting and makes no reference if it's before or after Tray was dismissed. All we have to fall back on are Trays comments stating he was leaving the UGA program anyway prior to his dismissal. Was RG recruiting a signed and active UGA player?
