AUBURN, Ala. -- Daron Payne may take his recruitment all the way to Signing Day, but many expect his final decision to come down to Auburn and Alabama.

The 5-star defensive tackle from Shades Valley in Birmingham, Ala., agrees. “That’s a good assumption,” Payne said. “...It’s going to be tough -- dream school and a great team.” When asked which school was his dream school, Payne replied, “Auburn.”
Auburn vs Alabama battle until the end, IMO.

Both are supposedly tied, currently.

I'll wait 11 and a half months to talk about this kid.

Au is doing swimmingly in these situations lately.

Well that seals him to bama.

Au is in the top group for the top 3 DTs in the country but unfortunately I think we trail for all 3....

That's not as good as being an AU legacy, but I'll take it.

This guy definitely wants to troll a lot of people for a lot of time.

Yeah this recruitment will probably be a total shite show that lasts until NSD even if he does commit somewhere earlier.

Torrance Gibson is going to be an even worse shitshow. The kid loves the attention he gets from fans and even admitted so. He already has put out statements just to see the reactions. I think this will only get worse.

No it won't. At least as long as we are involved. The only dancing Gus will do is when he dances on Sabans arse next November. The Dog and Pony show has been removed from the Auburn Recruiting Experience. Pretty certain Kiffen has signed them up for another year at bama.

Torrance may troll the fans, but I was assured that our coaching staff won't be participating by someone who has spoken to more than one staff member. If he tries it, he will have one less offer. Kids are being told the parameters, they all seem to be on board so far. I bet we end up seeing evidence of this before the cycle ends though. SDH and Casher won't be the last ones I imagine.

Not sure I understand what you are saying. Kids mishandle recruiting all the time. Nobody is immune. Let's not act like Auburn recruits don't do the same thing. Hell, Stephen Roberts was a Bama commit recruiting for Auburn while telling our staff he was "100% committed".

I don't know of him doing any recruiting in favor of Auburn until he flipped.

Shaun Dion Hamilton, Josh Casher and Dee Liner.

The Auburn staff straight up told Josh Casher we wouldn't accept him as a commitment. Shaun Dion Hamilton was mulling over his options and couldn't make up his mind on whether or not he wanted to flip to Auburn, and the staff grew tired of the games and stopped recruiting him (not saying he would have flipped). And Dee Liner was sniffed out by the new coaching staff rather quickly. He was going to flip regardless, but the new staff told him to take a hike.

Of course it only happens to AU. You hear from your "sources" that Bama commits were doing this to AU, but Roberts didn't because of your sources. My sources said Roberts did this and Casher, Hamilton and Liner did no such thing. You need better sources.

I didn't hear that from anybody. It's no secret that this staff doesn't play around when it comes to recruits trolling them. I don't even think RaShaan Evans tried to troll them. And the players mentioned earlier are just a couple. It has happened with more.

You only hear what AU people want you to hear.
