gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Why is he choosing between 2 schools if he is already committed? I don't fault the kid at all for choosing alabama. It is his life. But for the life of me I don't understand why you say your committed to a school and then you are choosing on signing day? Just politely say "I want to say thanks to Auburn for recruiting me but at this point I want to open up my recruitment and take my time make the best decision I can make on signing day." It just seems like this is the better way to handle these situations instead of then inevitable flip... unless you want to do it out of spite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kids are mature and respectful, others are childish, selfish and play games. Coaches should and normally do evaluate on maturity and what kind of teammate a recruit is gonna be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it could be handled better. I guess it is what it is. Behind the scenes I suspect the AU coaches have probably let him know he needs to move on at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AU coaches may have told him to move on, but it still looks bad when they publicly don’t say anything and the kid goes out in front of a crowd or even on TV or the local nightly news and picks the Turds, when everyone knows he has been committed to AU for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless he has no factor on Cohen flipping or opening up to it. This kid would be a candidate for it no matter who his recruiter is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTale 357 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 So are we saying that AU coaches have likely told this guy to move on...yet he is still using AU to make it look as if he is actually making a decision next week...when in fact the decision has already been made for him?
