Oh, I get it.
Luper offers Lattimore playing time as a freshman, and he is making promises he can't keep and is a used car salesman.
Spurrier offers Lattimore playing time as a freshman, and he is oh so virtuous.
So, WHO is USC's starting RB? Who? Can't remember his name. Cause "no 17 year old is going to be ready for that".
Maybe Mrs. Smith needs to call Dyer's mom and see how Luper's promises are working out for him *coughbrokebojacksonsfreshmanrecordcough*
Latt didn't want to share play time and carries with Dyer, plain and simple. He would rather be the big fish in the little pond that is USC.

Check out my original post in this thread - I agree that Evans has some agenda against AU at minimum, and at the Newton family specifically and obviously (of course, they've made themselves as easy target in that regard).
However, my comments were that THIS recent piece he wrote wasn't journalistically wrong or inappropriate in any way unless he misquoted Latt's mom. It is timely, interesting, and presumably accurate.
His grade piece was an agenda driven slam. Not good in any way. This one I had no problem with though.

It APPEARS you read the article, but you must have a really bad case of that Auburn comprehension problem, since you maimed the meaning of the items you referenced.

Strike one. She said Luper promised it, where Spurrier said he'd have to work for it.

Not what she said at all. What she really said was “This is a 17-year-old kid coming to your school and you’re telling him he’s going on the field and he’ll play as a freshman. You don’t even know if he’s physically able or if he’ll be able to do that.” She's saying don't promise what you don't know. He might not be ready. She never said it was impossible.

Really? Maybe he wanted to do exactly what was said in the article. Stay close to home, and attend school with his sister? At a school where he would still be a back in the SEC, playing for a proven head coach, and establish a running back tradition of his own?

Thayer Evans is weak.
But I like Lattimore's mom:
Smith says Luper made so many promises to her son that she had to ask him to stop.
"Anything that you tell him, I would expect you to do," Smith recalls telling Luper. "This is a 17-year-old kid coming to your school and you're telling him he's going on the field and he'll play as a freshman. You don't even know if he's physically able or if he'll be able to do that."
We need more moms and dads, like this, who are willing to call bullshite on recruiters.

And a lot less who will sell their kids to the highest bidder.

good lord people.... Lattimore was going to USCe... this was known pretty early in the process. AU and their coaches gave it a good shot, but came up short to the in-state school.

It's pretty obvious to everyone what you did here.

Marcus Lattimore just said on Game Day that up until 2 weeks before he announced his mom loved Auburn.
Then his mom says it was the ole ball coach dancing that turned her.

So we didn't offer to buy a running back the caliber of Lattimore?

Is that surprising to you? If so, wow.
I don't think y'all OFFERED to buy Cam...but when the Cecil offered him to somebody in the fam-buh-lee, the ole' Auburn Booster Network kicked in and took care of bidness...just like the good ole' days.

I would much rather have a kid on my team that was raised by this woman than a kid raised by the "Rev." Cecil Newton. Sounds like she has raised Marcus right.

Lattimore's mom compares recruiting tactics (AU/USCe)

it amazes me that you auburn folks don't see how this would work.
IF a school was in the business of paying players they wouldn't just be walking into homes and offering up cash. They would do the normal recruiting process and size up what they were dealing with. Even then extra stuff would be alluded to...not just offered. Extra stuff would be the final dealmaker in the process....this is what we have that they don't. Doing it any other way would get you caught in a minute.
Even the dirtiest program of all time would never offer someone like Lattimores mom something...duh.
I think this article is instructive because she seems like a woman with her head on straight who thought that something at Auburn smelled funny.

If only you could get Cam to deny it then maybe you'd have a point.

You need to watch ESPNs 30/30 on Marcus Dupree. Their coach felt Dupree was unhappy and went to his mother and asked if she wanted anything, and she said she wanted a double wide trailer. Then within the week a new double wide was delivered to her house.
Pretty crazy how dirty recruiting was back then. It's probably just as dirty now, just a lot more hidden.
