Perception of Bama Recruiting and BOL

  • RyRog said...

    See, that's the point. You think you're going to get Goldman when everywhere else says FSU lean. Bama fans are also the only ones that think Landon Collins is going to commit to them instead of LSU. You're also going to get Jameis Winston to switch. The "insiders" on your board are ridiculous and basically tell you that you will get anyone that you want....and if you don't get someone there is always an excuse.

    My thoughts exactly

    How people expect us to think that the Winstions would go from committed to Jimbo and having such a close relationship with D. Craig to screwing them over is laughable. They are a classy family and have never wavered or didn't stay in close contact about visits. Congrats on the success Bama but Winston committed knowing full well where the team stands. I have been close to this entire recruitment and can tell you this is one you will not be getting. Sorry in advance about Goldman as well. I base this on Eddies recruitment, not the theory that everybody wants to go to Bama.

    I guess Bama boards, mods, fans feel the Goldman's are just blowing smoke when they gush about Odell Haggins. Not to mention the fact that Eddie G and Jernigan are friends and stay in close contact. Recruiting comes down to relationships in the end. Bama may get Goldman, but it will be due more to relationships than their playing for a MNC. The Goldman's are going about things the right way.

    Sounds to me like Bama probably has "at worst" a 50% chance of flipping him. Winston is so bama right now he's trolling our fan base just to rub it in! That sly dog...

    In all seriousness, once the locals realize they won't flip him by being sweet and nice, some toothless hicks will threaten to kill him and his family if they leave the state. Going to get ugly.

  • BOL is the most full of crap website on all of the net regarding recruiting info. And I have read ALOT of different team's sites.

  • I have gotten to where I just dont like Bama fans anymore. I used to kind of like the Tide but since they got Saban they have just really rubbed me the wrong way. I guess they dont have anything else to do.

    I am assuming you must not realize that, while Alabama is #1 in the country against the run, we are #2 with less than a 7 yard per game difference. So, we already have that whole "thing of beauty" aspect locked down. Plus, we have way more sacks and both sit in the top five of total defense.

    On momentum, Alabama was already good, which is why it rarely has to give out Escalades any more (see, e.g. Julio Jones) and can recruit based on its own merit mixed with good old fashioned local intimidation. However, UA should absolutely not be playing for the national title, though I recognize it is, in reality, in the game despite the reasons against.

    I appreciate you trying to iron out the problems, and you seem fine yourself. But we are currently going head to head for several very high profile recruits and this is crunch time. Therefore, we are not likely to find much common ground on these issues at the moment.

    Just so I'm clear, FSU fans (see SEMINEER's post earlier in this thread for example) take offense when a small minority of Bama fans accuse Dameyune Craig of improprieties but you casually throw out a Julio Jones and Escalade reference when that has been debunked ad nauseum? I'm guessing you probably don't see the hypocrisy in that? I will never accuse Coach Craig of anything without proof but apparently you don't hold yourself to the same standard?

    Rigggght, lol. I'm going to assume you are joking good-naturedly. If not, please provide proof of any and all alleged violations (as I'm sure you would tell a Bama fan about Coach Craig). TIA

  • Hearing Criminole fans call out any other fan base for "cheating " is laughable at best.

    On a serious note, since it seems a large majority follow BOL, based on the criticism, did you follow the TJ Yeldon recruitment? There was a tweet by Yeldon the week of the high school all star game about being "ready to get to auburn and start prep to beat clemson". Tweets are the gospel right?? By the way, 7-0 Irish.

  • Bama has the most strict policies in the country when it comes to student-athletes' vehicles. You cannot drive a car anywhere near campus without providing vehicle registration, bank records, payment stubs, ect. . You've been reading too much BS from Sports By Douche and his photoshopped "evidence" where it has been proved that he changed the year of the cars on those speeding tickets. By the way , BOL doesn't go the route of auburn sites and give percentages. They say things like " Bama is in good shape" ect. I would love to know who they were wrong about. They called Winston to fsu a couple of days before he announced. They have said there is a chance Winston could switch, the same as they did for Yeldon. They said Bama is in the top two for Goldman with fsu. On Landon Collins, if you looked at his twitter, it is of him and gf. He is supposedly crazy about her and she is going to Bama on some scholarship, which is why Bama is cautiously optomistic about him. I still would like to know what they were just completely wrong about.

    I'm used to it by now. After several years at another site, I've learned Bama never loses a game, they unwin them. As for recruits, if a "target" goes elsewhere, Bama didn't really want them because they get everyone they want. There are homers, then there are most Bammers

    lol Just because we have a history of having goons on our team doesn't mean our state/AD is anywhere near as corrupt as Bama. Also, that TJ Yeldon comparison is such a joke. Did you expect him to follow Malzahn to Arky State? It had nothing to do with what Bama did and more as to who Auburn lost.

    By the way...oh yeah, Irish lost.

    bamer boy, listen, every fan complains. it's college sports.

    However, this our our board, so beat it. You had a better season, but you're still second fiddle to LSU. good luck with that.

    We won our bowl game and we'll sign Jameis on signing day. 0-2. sucks to be you.

    1. You won't be getting Winston. Accept this. Hometown means nothing in this case.

    - He's black....and plays QB, how many black QB's have started at Alabama in the last twenty years?

    - How many QB's have you put in the NFL recently?

    - Who has a better track record of developing QB's for the next level -- Fisher or Saban?

    - Who's offense highlights the QB, and not a smash mouth offense?

    - Which team has better weapons at WR?

    - FSU baseball program or Alabama baseball program?

    It's over, now I fully understand why you won't stop dreaming/wishing. After all, your school is arguably the best football team in the country this year despite losing to LSU. If the shoe was on the other foot, and FSU was going to the National Championship game, you guys had a commitment from a 5-star in our back yard, we would be pretty smug about flipping him too. So I completely get it and understand it.

    2. Again, your Alabama, the small scandals that we've had around our football program are NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG compared to the long history of cheating and wrong doings in college football that Alabama is responsible for. There are rules in place now by the NCAA because of Alabama. So never reference Criminoles when your school practically invented cheating, ok? Thanks

    Now carry on with the discussion.

    A quote taken from Fisher's bio, "At LSU he helped to develop a number of outstanding college quarterbacks, including Josh Booty, Rohan Davey, Matt Mauck and JaMarcus Russell". For the sake of generosity I'll throw in the names Xavier Lee and Drew Weatherford. Quaterback guru indeed. JAWALRUS RUSSEL!!!
