austudnt23 1,432 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He told our coaches that he was coming to AU, even had Stephen Roberts and Jakell Mitchell at the announcement. The bammer coaches convinced him obviously that the star position was not right for him. He is a stand up kid who made the wrong decision, but he we will be just fine. I was told by very good, I mean very good sources that he was comng to AU. The same sources that told me Braden Smith would commit and Andrew Williams would commit on Signing Day. Our coaches were sure we had Evans in the bag, but with 18 year old kids stuff like this happens. Also don't rush to judgement on the Bessent arrest until all the facts are unvailed. War Eagle!! We will win it all this year IMO. Peyton Barber and Roc Thomas will be a stud one two punch to go along with Payne at RB. Our OL will be solid and WR will be studs. Also look for Ricky Parks to have a huge impact this year. Once again sorry I was wrong on the RE situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,884 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I said he was coming to AU too. The difference between you and me is that you have great sources and nobody cares what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You owe no one an apology for this. I am curious to see whether or not those who took shots will be as accommodating. Doubtful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sense1 0 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 More of a reflection on Rashaan Evans and his father than anyone at Auburn or the coaching staff. Hate to say it, but the "fallout" that he and his family are feeling now should have been expected given the way Evans handled his recruitment. I don't feel any sympathy for him either. I am sure the "rec" at Tuscaloosa will make sure they are all "well taken care of". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarDamnDenver 0 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks for the post 23. I know we all look forward to any info you can give us on any recruit, but the nature of the beast is that sometimes we're wrong. That being said, don't stop with the info! I'm up here in Denver and this is the closest I get to talking AU football with anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausburn 159 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks for being the stand up person you are austudent23. You gave good information and reported accurately so no blame to you from this poster. Your good sources were led by the recruit. Just a young man with a dream of his own.

We will be OK without him. I am very intersted in seeing Garrett and Moncrief at the Star position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war eagle6 0 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He did it for dad, IMO . I know one thing for sure, if he invited me to his recruitment ceremony to announce that other school, trust me it would have been a big misunderstanding!

ronau57 12 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 There were many things written about his recruiting and most had him choosing AU. There must have been some information that he or his family gave out to for that to be true. That being said, I find it almost unbelievable that he thinks that there would not be people that were disappointed. But grown-ups talking ugly is way way way over the line. I see some character issues with how he handled things. Once you give your word you are bound by it. If you don't live by that then AU isn't for you.

AuburnTiger2013 0 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was told from my sources that Alan asked for $$$$ from us. Obviously we said no. It was later when we were told that he was Bama bound. I didn't believe at first but this person is very much involved in the recruiting process. We will be fine without him.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 23, it wasn't necessary, but thanks for the apology. I really appreciated all the info from all the insiders. When I was in Auburn and Tubby was there, I had a few connections, but that hasn't been true for a long while. I appreciate what you guys provide. It always has to be taken with a grain of salt. Especially, as in this case, when the recruit in question is friends with Reuben Foster and has a dad with a bad history with the football program. Looking back, there was always a chance he picked Bama based, primarily, on those facts. He and his family strung our coaches along. No question about that. Now, they're complaining about backlash in town. Figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
