Mikey 16,645 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 "Teams can come in and talk to me until I'm ready to make my decision," he said. "And if they stop, then I guess I'll stick with Auburn. But if they keep coming on and keep trying, I will open my options up." Wow...for a while, I thought he might possibly flip on us....but this makes me feel better... This is not the type of "commitment" that I feel good about. Tre Williams, Roc Thomas, those guys committed and started recruiting for AU. The above statement says he's not committed at all. Of course, it's al.com so we need to look for the lie in there.

TIGGR82 4 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I still don't see the point of a kid committing to ANY school and then saying, well I say I'm committed but I'm still open to anywhere.... The most pointless thing ever....jeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTiger2012 84 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'd keep my options open too lol. Look at the end product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggwilliams 61 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'd keep my options open too lol. Look at the end product. True that. We have more talent on this team than almost everybody in College Football (LSU and bama exceptions), but we still get blown out. I stop holding grudges against players who do what is best for them.

Agreed. I felt good about his commitment, even with the interesting comments immediately after his announcement, but I didn't expect our football team to be this bad.

NoALtiger 3,867 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Well I don't see why he wouldn't want to come and be a part of rock solid D. Seems a no brainer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerfinz 1,362 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sad to see he isn't 100% committed to us. Has been wondering since we haven't heard anything really about him in weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sorry -- is there new info about Marlon? He made the comments people are referring to at his commitment ceremony, where he committed to ... wait for it ... Auburn! Anything new, or just more angst?

He made the comments people are referring to at his commitment ceremony, where he committed to ... wait for it ... Auburn! Anything new, or just more angst? There is. Marlon is keeping his options open because he is not sure about his commitment to AU right now. He knows he can come in and play right away at AU but really isn't sure where AU is heading. uat smells blood in the water and is on the prowl. Not good. No good way to put this but recruiting is in the toilet right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yeah, it is not looking good across the board at this point. I dont understand how our program could take such gigantic steps backwards since halftime of our first game. Before then, everything seemed status quo and on the up and up.

No good way to put this but recruiting is in the toilet right now. And this shouldn't surprise anyone. When you see the roller-coaster that Auburn has been over the past 7-8 years versus the stability and consistent excellence across the state I understand why kids would have reservations about AU. As much as I hate Bammer it is particularly frustrating that we have been unable to build on and sustain our success like they have done under Saban.

Tiger 8,829 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Recruits often make the mistake of looking at the product on the field right NOW when in reality, they should be basing their projection of how a team will be once they are at the school based on how the prior 2 classes were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehighfan 1,240 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 When Davidson made his comments at his commitment announcement I had a bad feeling about him sticking with us. I guess we'll find out later. It will be a shame if we miss out on another legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made the comments people are referring to at his commitment ceremony, where he committed to ... wait for it ... Auburn! Anything new, or just more angst? It's the dreaded "75% committed" thing.

bg5 536 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It is interesting we could go from being a great offensive team with a avg. Def. to a great Def. team with a avg. Off. in a two year time period. Davidson could be the key to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
