ellitor 33,093 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 JMO but makes no difference to me if bama makes an offer....it's not like that is some kind of a seal of approval. It does make a difference in relation to your original post. Your opinion was that DW would not sign with AU. If he never gets a commitable Bama offer AU is where he will sign.

AuburnSpider 2 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Won't surprise me if the wee turd slips him some kind of offer last minute to keep him from Au. That's part of the art wee man has honed. If you can take critical commits from your rival you do it. Too many examples to list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 It certainly would not shock me to see another signing day flip with DW. Even though Bama may have a couple of LBs higher on their board than Williams this move would do the most damage to AU which seems to be very important to the wee one's ego.

Tiger 8,826 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Why wouldn't Saban do that? The last minute offer would be smart on his part, unfortunately for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,240 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hopefully, the coaching staff is keeping DW's mother buttered up. According to an earlier post Williams is really impressed with how the coaching staff has treated his mother, who carries alot of influence in his decision. :wareagle: :wareagle: :wareagle: :wareagle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randman5000 4,228 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 "I would say I'm pretty firm with Auburn, but I'm still keeping an open mind with Alabama. Oklahoma, they still want me, but it's kind of tight. Ole Miss came back in the picture too." "My recruiting process has been one of the weirdest any recruit can ask for," he said. "(I'm) sitting here, grew up an Alabama fan, but Auburn seems real right for (me.) It's just hard... You have a coach who gets fired who's been recruiting you and you have a good relationship with, that's never a good feeling." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/12/auburn_commit_darrell_williams.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg5 536 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I really hate that I think this but here goes. I think Saban knows all this kid is waiting for is an offer. He also knows that for the last three years he has taken a good one from us at the last minute and it upset us. I think he is just waiting until the last minute to offer again this year. This kid does not sound solid to me at all. I know they don't really have a spot for him but I think Saban will do it anyway. Saban is a first class jerk and he loves doing this. I hope we have a backup plan just in case. I will say ( and don't give me they are just kids) that it shows a real lack of character on these kids part to do it (Yeldon, Foster and Evans).

Mikey 16,603 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think it's been accepted for quite some time that the only way this guy comes to Auburn is if bammer doesn't give him a comittable offer. If we don't find and land another LB before signing day and Williams flips, it's on us, not Saban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"She's dating other guys, but we're engaged." well durn....I was hoping Kerryon was committed to us. Maybe it is true that he is a bammer now....Or maybe Darrell is just looking for a way to get out of Auburn. He is basically begging the bama staff to offer him through the newspapers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plainsman 948 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 If we land Muschamp, I think we will be fine and maybe improve some positions should some current commits decide to go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't find and land another LB before signing day and Williams flips, it's on us, not Saban. It does put us in a bad spot though. Because we basically have to hold his spot knowing all the time he could dump us at the last minute. If we give an offer to another LB then he stays with us we miss out on another position. Oh and it's still on Saban for playing this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"She's dating other guys, but we're engaged. signs and faxes in his LOI" FIFY thank you Your change wasn't a fix, but a change to the meaning of my post. Commit's meaning according to Merriam Webster is, "to say that (someone or something) will definitely do something". That's a lot different from someone having done something. I stand by my original post and say a prospect is only committed (will definitely sign; thank you, Webster) when they quit taking visits. Just as it's ludicrous for an engaged person to continue to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Kinda hard to figure that we are "holding" a spot for him. Right now we seem to have some slots open and unless there are some secret commits out there, the coaches just keep on working on him....and others. Like I learned in sales, don't book the order until the check clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
