I kind of echo WDE's concerns about Ashley's commitment. His commitment may stick today, but what about tomorrow....or NSD? I like to fall on the side of not questioning the honesty of a kid who has shown nothing more than being of solid character. This really reminds me of Carl Lawson's recruitment. He was quiet, but when he spoke he reaffirmed his commitment. Still, a group of posters on here freaked out about him until the fax cam in. If Calvin says he's 110% committed, that's good enough for me. I will not question the integrity of his statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,482 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think Calvin's tweet ends this drama. Had he wanted to decommit, you don't purposely tweet out that you are "110% committed and always will be. WDE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start stressing this early, you ain't gonna make it til NSD. And I didn't realize Ashley was white...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,240 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There are a handful of recruits who, in my opinion, are must gets. IMO they are Stidham, (already in the fold), Moultry, Britt, and Ashley. I am certainly glad Ashley is amping up his enthusiasm for the Tigers.

We're raking in the guards and project players, but can't seem to land a McNeil/Robinson/Ziemba. Heck we didn't even recruit 5* legacy Jonah Williams hard in 2016. He's now the starting RT for Bama.

I'm still chapped about that one. There must have been something there that we (or at least I) didn't know. Ivey was always a Gator fan, even though AU fought the good fight in that one.

Ivey was always a Gator fan, even though AU fought the good fight in that one. It's when Gus knew Grimes was not up to recruiting the way he wanted for the SEC level anymore. Everything he had gone through physically made it tough for him to get out and recruit with the energy & gusto needed in the SEC. If Cincy had to come in JB was going to be asked to move to an off field position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Even KN is saying that this isn't over. Ashley going on Twitter doesn't really settle anything. Too much consistent smoke appearing and then settling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,598 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 "Where there's smoke, there's fire" That quote is from several dozen media types hoping to see AU and Cam Newton go down in a blaze of scandal back in 2010. It turned out there was no fire. There probably isn't one this time either. The REC has probably offered his family whatever amount for Ashley to flip to Maryland, apparently to no effect. Could a flip happen? Yes. Likely to happen? Not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metafour 4,969 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yes, the REC is offering him money to flip to Maryland. Makes sense. Why wouldn't they just tell him to flip to Alabama if that were the case? Its the Holiday season and they're in the giving mood? Trying to spread the love out to the Big Ten? There is obviously real pull from Maryland for him to go there. This isn't the first time he's gone to Twitter to state just how committed he is; so the fact that he's done this AGAIN doesn't all of a sudden close the book on this whole ordeal. He's obviously telling every side all they want to hear, which isn't new at all in the recruiting world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
