Don't worry, LOYALBAMA's only response is the simple "umad ". It's not worth arguing with that tard. There won't be anything else said towards him, although he might come up with one of his "Aubren" posts about nothing.

BTW, I was reading this:

quote:

"I grew up an Auburn fan," Howard said. "Last year, I was their biggest fan at this school. But I started visiting Alabama and I have been there quite a few times. I know it's the place for me. I love the coaches. They are very up front with you. They treat you like their kids and then when it's time to coach you they coach you."

It's funny, Howard bears a resemblance to former Auburn Heisman winning QB Cam Newton. So much so that he got double takes when he wore an Auburn jersey to school with Newton's number on it.

"He would wear that No. 2 jersey around the school and people would want to pose in pictures with him," Sims said. "You look at him and he looks just like Cam. He's big like Cam too."


It's some quotes from OJ Howard. Having read those, and some more of his quotes from this weekend, what's the Bama take on him? What about the chances he flips to Auburn?

He's been pretty open about being an Auburn fan dating back to when he committed, not really worried about his fandom. To paraphrase what he said when he committed, you have look past who you are a fan of and go where fits you best.

He's apparently good friends with a Foster and Bozeman per the pics a few pages ago...

Having grown up an AU fan and the fact that he is going to visit AU again in the summer, you guys will have a shot to flip him. However the way he's talked about our coaches and seen the way we use our TE's, we should be able to hang on to him. Its too early to tell at this point, same thing with Dee Liner. They have both taken numerous visits to both schools and remain firm in their commitments. We should know more later this year.

Wow lol all I gotta say

Durden, you need to know this is a chess game for Bama and UGA to land Tray, and Bama now has the upper hand, RF isn't flipping not gonna happen, he will be going to Bama, he is trying his hardest to get Tray to Bama, that is why he is there. Just trying to help you understand the situation better and better prepare you for when he flips. That is all I will say

And to the other fanbases that came on here, knew that about OJ, that is why it upsets me a bit that they took the low road, they didn't have too, he likes AU already.

Bucc, no need to worry or be upset. One player will not make our class or our team one way or the other. If someone in Tuscaloosa wants to get upset, lets hope it is CNS as he can do something about it on the field and on the recruiting trails. We get to just sit back and enjoy the show.

After reading through the previous few pages of entertainment, I can tell you that IMO Howard's comments are based off of something I call a "visit high".

Also, based off of some stuff I gathered from a UF guy that talks to Foster, he's all Bama. In fact, I've heard that Saban has given Foster 1 goal, and that's to get Tray, not Robert.

Bama's is killing it again in '13, no shock.

Sounds great!


Watching the recruiting game is not for the faint of heart.

There will always be something negative to say against Saban and Alabama, but the good far outweighs it, and young players are as excited to get an offer from Saban as ever before.

That's what all of the "insiders" have been saying for quite some time. The timeline varies a bit depending on who you ask, but the general consensus is that he has been a silent for months.

Yep. I'm not too worried about him or Foster. We will be perfectly fine no matter what happens but things are looking great right now.

Not likely, but LSU is the team to watch. We offer him something neither UGA or even Bama can match.

A defensive scheme that he's not as interested in?

He may take some more visits. But it is pretty much known he will be coming to Bama. Everybody thought something might have changed when he was going to visit UGA, yet he didn't even put them in his top 5. He likes LSU and will visit, but his recruitment is pretty much over.
