Not flipping one, but KEEPING a kid who has been a commit for a year plus. Incredible. Oh how the tide has turned.

Daddy Saban would never have allowed such fear and insecurity. It’s certainly a new day.

The last 24 hours have not been kind to Auburn fans, and they are not taking it well.

What did you do? Keep a commit who has been committed before we hired our most recent HC? Impressive

They celebrated national titles under Saban… now they celebrate re-commitments from the #3 player at his position

Expectations = Lowered

Well he decommitted at one point, and fAU fans, including ones like Chex and Stidham who are InSiDeRs, told us he was an fAU LOCK.

So why wouldn't we celebrate when a 5* WR commits to a DeBoer-led Bama team? We were told by tRant that he can't recruit!

LSU's best WR recruit this cycle was the 29th ranked player at his position.

LSU’s top returning pass catchers didn’t just commit to Texas (both of yours did)

In fairness it was Auburn fans assuring everybody who would listen that the kid had already committed to Auburn and ran around making ban bets with Alabama fans that Williams would be in Auburn.

I'll tell you like I told some Georgia fans....it ain't over till it is over and to act like something is a done deal these days is foolish. Better to just keep your mouth shut until a signature is on the paperwork.

And there still is not signature, so.....

Didn’t just make ban bets…

Started the thread, ran it up to 125 pages talking shite about it, started another thread to talk about the first one, and they’ve collectively been attempting to pile on.

They about to get their noses rubbed in this one for a while.

Bond 2023 Stats (avg/game): 3.4 catches, 47 yards, .28 TDs
Niblack 2023 Stats (avg/game): 1.4 catches, 23 yards, .28 TDs

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's even possible to replace that kind of production with the 4 and 5 star guys left on the roster. Luckily, DeBoer and Grubb have an entire offseason to scheme something up!

It sounds a little worse when you add Burton...60% of last year's yards will be gone.

Yeah, but Willie doesn't want to talk about players leaving for the draft because then he'd have to acknowledge that LSU losing Nabers and Thomas, is a bigger blow than Bama losing Burton/Bond/Niblack.
