Budapesttiger 2 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Not everyone is going to be a born again Christian who signs with Auburn. Some are going to be into things that may seem inappropriate to some and might seem like a normal teenager to others. To be honest, he is NOT a representative of Auburn until he signs on the line. Sort of like comparing a girlfriend to a wife. Some of the posters on this site seem to look for something to get offended about... SMH laughing As massive as recruiting is and is covered by the media yes they are represenatives of the schools they are committed to unless they flip. Just the nature of the beast. My question would be: Who views them as representatives? It seems only in rare cases the recruits themselves take on this role. Otherwise its the world or people who follow recruiting who view them that way. Most of the kids don't see it it like that until they're on campus for a while.

I think all the commits are de facto, if not de jure, representatives of the schools to which they are committed. He's an Auburn commit, and that's the way he'd be described by media, so he's a representative of Auburn. I can understand why folks might be upset with the tweet. I also remember what I was thinking about when I was 17 years old (before one could broadcast it to the world on social media). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a tough position to be in when media says a kid is representing your university and program and you can't even mention his name or make reference to said recruit publicly. One of the many reasons they make big bucks I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Keith Niebuhr says South Carolina is now number 2 behind Auburn on his free recruiting podcast. He is being recruited at the spur position for South Carolina. The "spur" position is identical to the "star" position and was created by CEJ when he was at South Carolina. free podcast: http://media.vsporto.s3.amazonaws.com/_shows/wareaglesportsradio/2014-08-18-2133397133-AuburnUndercover8.18.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have more than a good shot of getting considerable playing time behind Garrett. IF JG can stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention we have a very underrated guy in Sully committed as a Star prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
