Maybe, but that was the mon & tues before SD, not wkend. Also, why wouldnt Lee have just said "Peaches" instead of "a bama fan with connections to the ath dept" (which, other than BC, Peaches has none)?
If there is any recruit I'd be willing to admit some level of "shadiness" in recruiting it would be BC. However, two points for clarification:
1) Peaches did NOT have his mortgage paid off as Lee is implying. That is too obvious and too big to hide. saban isn't going to risk his reputation on something that moronic and/or easy to track.
2) Lee should really just look elsewhere. Neither side is spotless with BC, and the more Lee talks, the more likely it is word about AU's recruitment of the DB from Miami is going to get out. He doesn't want that. My only thought is that Lee may know about some of the AU dirt and so he is trying to drag the rival down too.

Saban just made a statement on this whole thing...
Saban said "IT'S PURE GARBAGE!" then slapped the mic and walked away from the podium

In the college football environment we have today, I don't doubt for one minute that shite like this doesn't go on at Bama. Our program is not run by a buncha choir boys in long robes.

But Jeffery Lee? Seriously?

I've been saying it since day 1 of the Cam Newton crap: this will be good for no one. These mf's need to SHUT UP! All of them.

Told he must pay the $25k back
Incorrect. I'm not certain of amt, but I am certain no attemot to "strong arm" Peaches ever took place. Getting BC back was a collaborative effort, and the final decision truly was BC's.
Unfortunately, this happens everywhere. Smart schools keep their coaches away from it. They make sure select people know what is needed/requested, but the coaches stay at best arm's length away. As for the "pay it back" that shite is never requested. If a kid or his fam is given something and that kid decommits, smart schools just let it go and chalk it up as cost of doing business. Dumb schools do what MSU did.

Sounds like he's just tired of all the rumors about Auburn so he wants to throw some dirt towards the other side of the state.

Post #26965
Auburn, Ala.
I did a segment this morning on WNSP in Mobile and talked about some of the allegations surrounding the recruitment of Russellville RB/LB Brent Calloway.
I have been working on a story and spoke briefly about some my findings on the show.
Here is a quick synopsis of what I touched on this morning (and a little I didn't have time to touch on):
According to sources...
- A supporter of Alabama, not an alumni or booster, was very involved with Calloway and his recruitment. The "supporter" took Calloway to Tuscaloosa numerous times including the last weekend before Signing Day.
- Following Calloway's visit to Tuscaloosa that weekend, the "supporter" drove Calloway out of state, most likely to Florida, and kept Calloway there until returning to Russellville Wednesday for Signing Day.
- Calloway did not attend school during that span, nor did he play in a scheduled high school basketball game.
- Calloway was excused from school from then-superintendent Don Cox, who informed Russellville principal Tim Guinn that Calloway would be excused because he needed the time to make his college choice.
- No other Russellville student received excused absences to make his/her college choice.
- Cox, who is no longer superintendent, has a very close family member that works in the Alabama Athletics Department.
- Before Calloway's last trip to Alabama before Signing Day, the "supporter" is alleged to have made cash payments to Harland "Peaches" Winston, Calloway's adoptive father.
- Winston received $2,500 from the "supporter" on at least one occasion.
- In addition to the aforementioned payment, Winston was also behind on his house mortgage, but made cash payments to catch up and then asked how much it would be to pay off the mortgage.
- The "supporter" also provided Calloway with a new car, which Calloway drove to school. The first day Calloway drove the new car, it raised enough questions that it was taken back by the end of the day.
- The car was purchased by the "supporter" from a dealership in Muscle Shoals, owned by another big supporter of Alabama athletics.
- The "supporter" informed Calloway that Calloway would receive $1,200 each month while at Alabama.
There is much more to the story and I will continue to look into it. I am scheduled to talk more about it Friday morning on WNSP in Mobile

What's funny is this will probably get more attention than Cam from the state media. The best thing that could happen is the entire truth come out about his recruitment.

btw he got some unexcused absences...DEATH PENALTY.

I can clear up just about all of those "points" once I get back to office and am not on my phone

Lee would be wise to let it die.

It's all cool anyways because Calloway has zero knowledge of anything Jeffrey Lee is "reporting"

I heard that Peaches received $25k for BC committment and was going to received $25k when he signs. After BC decommitted, Peaches was told he must pay the $25k back but Peaches had already spent it so that when he went to the media saying that his son needs to honor his committment...
Sounds legit!

much like they wised up and did by leaving Cyrus K.'s recruitment alone.

Well Damn, If any of that is true, it sure does sound similar to some of the stuff Bama got busted for in the 2002 punishment
But this shite is getting out of hand. Lee just needs to shut up and worry about Auburn. I grow tired of beat writers with agendas. Anybody see the Mark Cuban rant that SbB posted? wonder if he thinks of himself as one of the guys Cuban was talking about

That's the part where anyone with a brain goes; uh yeah, sure.
