CameronCrazy 1,059 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I was really worried about this one, especially since he hasn’t visited lately and didn’t make it for Big Cat Weekend. It’ll be interesting to see if the coaches still pursue him. It just boils my blood to see a kid that grows up an Auburn fan commit to UAT.

Over years of watching recruiting, I have seen no factor that means less than "life long fan of". It's usually a kiss of death. We get as many other team's fans as we lose of ours, maybe more. Why that is I haven't a clue but being a fan doesn't normally have anything to do with where they eventually sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't think of another bama fan who came to AU if they had a "legitimate actual " bama offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Bo a bama fan who was just pissed off by bama's recruiter telling him he'd probably sit for 2 years, so he went to Auburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
