Don't get me wrong, if he was in on it and fully aware of what he was doing, then I'm all for it. If he wasn't then that does bother me.

I'm just looking at it as we got his commitment, now lets don't do anything stupid to give a fickle teenager a reason to reconsider. Hope that makes sense.

At most, unless we have more attrition before signing day. We have a very small class of seniors.

Welp, it has started. Here is a post from Redfish, whoever the frick that is...
quote:

Reuben Foster- You could see today's events coming from a mile away once Foster chose to attend AUHS over Oxford. As a fan base, we need to be careful what is said about RF. It is a long way from NSD and today's events were a reaction from a phone call that Foster received from the UA staff Tuesday night telling him it was time to "learn what a commitment was and it was time for the visits and double talk to end."
It's an Alabama poster from another site.

Could be true, but that doesnt mean people need to spit out excuses. Ill pay attention to all recruits when they put ink to paper, doing all this in July is a bit absurd

We will. We aren't signing just 21 with the guys we could potentially get right now. I've said that from the beginning. I say 21 at the very least

I love how the Alabama staff told him this...

They surely follow the guidelines, they lay out, when it comes to other's commited recruits, like TJ Yeldon.

Don't be, you guys have plenty of talent at linebacker.

And I guess announcing on live TV you are going to another school isn't considered a real commitment either.

Spoke with Alpharetta (Ga.) five-star defensive end Carl Lawson tonight and he said despite saying he would visit USC and UCLA last week, he has decided he won't take those visits. He's unsure what visits he will take, if any this fall. He could be done with visits all together.

Sounds like a stone-cold volnation LOCK

We need to lock up Wilkins, Adams, Matthews and a solid OL and this class will be unbelievable.

1) I think Wilkins is ours
2) Adams is a toss-up with Clemson as of now
3) By Tray Matthews' comments after RF's commitment to Auburn, sounds like good news for us

Liner, Lawson, Foster, Robinson, and Johnson will be in Matthews' ear 24/7...

We only needed 2 CBs, and with limited spots, I'm not sure if we could take him. I think if Matthews would only come with Wiggins, we'd definitely take him though
