Ed_ 3 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 BTW, Keith Niebuhr Tweet: @KeithRIVALS: Liner, BTW, is trying hard to get #Tide commit OJ Howard to flip to #Auburn -- The two hung out for a long time b4 the event This will be fun to watch. I believe OJ grew up a AU fan. I believe we have a great shot. I actually think OJ is in fact going to flip. FWIW I was talking to a buddy of mine that follows Bama football religiously (actually a Bammer I can have a rational discussion about football with most of the time) and he firmly believes that either Saban gets Liner to flip or we get Howard to flip but either way they are playing together. What I did find interesting was that my buddy said with Howard growing up an AU fan, we have an edge and that if we do end up moving to a more pro style O like he's been hearing we are then he really doesn't like their chances of keeping Howard.

kickeminthebuttbigblue 0 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I agree. I think we have a huge edge with Howard growing up an AU fan. He had no clue what style of offense AU was going to when CGM left. CSL brings in a TE heavy offense, many times utilizing 2 TE's. I say we have the upper hand.

kickeminthebuttbigblue 0 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 For anyone interested, this is what Dee had to say to a turd sports beat writer about them recruiting him to play the "upshaw position": "That's where Saban wants me. Upshaw's gone, and he's looking for somebody to take that spot. To be honest, I'd rather play linebacker. That's the position I think I'm supposed to be at now." Very interesting comments to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURandy1345162767 14 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I hope the AU coaches stay in constant contact with this young man. If he's as good as advertised, and I have no reason to believe he's not, Saban is not going to give him up without a fight. I hate to bring this up, but our coaches should never forget what TJ Yeldon did to them, and to AU. The AU coaches need to keep their guards up at all times, and, after the Yeldon flip, I think they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he ends up with the good guys but I have a feeling this isn't going to be decided for sure till Feb. but thats the price you pay for going after the good ones!

Very interesting comments to say the least. Not saying he couldn't do it but his body type doesn't really fit a LB. He has more of a DL build and frame. I am not sure what his 40 time is but he would be best suited on the line. Saban is spewing all sorts of garbage to get this kid. "Oh yah sure you can play LB we need you there and of course you will start". Any lies to get a kid to come there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone4jc 2,241 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Why do people feed into this? Mr Liner has been committed to us for a long time and is recruiting for us. I am glad that Alabama is recruiting him as well as all the other University's for that matter! I believe Mr Liner will honor his commitment to AU and I believe what he say's when asked on numerous occasions, they can try to flip him but he is ALL IN! Let's not continue to feed the flame of inferiority, have confidence in Auburn and the capabilities of this coaching staff! War Eagle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YaBoyMaxWeezy 0 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 After the Yeldon debacle, I am skeptical we can hold on to Liner....Yeldon was as solid as ever then he just screwed us over. I hope things catch up with that kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaBoyMaxWeezy 0 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 BTW, What is Liner doing that makes people feel so confident that he is coming here ? from what I can remember Yeldon was "All In" until the last few weeks in december. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickeminthebuttbigblue 0 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I will say this, I went to Muscle Shoals HS and still live in Muscle Shoals. The Shoals area IMO is 80-85% bam fans. The bama influence is so terrible. I hope Dee can withstand all the pressure. There are ua boosters on every street corner, and they will do whatever it takes to get who they want. Dee, however is not Yeldon. I do feel way more comfortable with his commit than I did with TJ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely redonkulous! I was there for a coaching course the last two weekends and seriously thought my truck was going to get keyed. Having an Almuni tag, AU sticker, and AU license plate I stood out like a sore thumb.....I didn't feel very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeldon never actively recruited for us. Dee is, in the same manner as Holland, Dyer, and Pike all have. From what I read Dee has good character. I think this is the difference from last years flip. I have never really faulted a kid for changing his mind. Heck at 18 I changed my mind so much I couldn't remember what I decided. And it's obviou$ how some $chools do it. I don't hold any grudges against Calloway or Kujonjo(sp) because I think their hands were tied. Now last years flip was a different story. If a kid changes his mind, just show some character and respect by letting the coaches who worked hard for you know you changed your mind. Don't wait until the day before the dead period to inflict as much damage as you can on the school you had previously committed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,412 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 yaboy, this is not directed at you. alot of folks have worried due to yeldon's flip. that was an outlier event. We will lose a couple of guys every year in some form or fashion. this year we happened to lose a big fish in a public/staged way. folks should not let the minority event effect them for every big recruit. I assure you, it will happen again. but it wont happen with every big recruit we have commited. also ... you cant control it. dont worry - be happy!
