TitanTiger 20,499 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 ...the U. According to Rivals, 4-star Bama commit Kerry Murphy from Hoover is taking a surprise visit to Miami this weekend. He says he's still an Alabama commitment but, "I'm going just to see what it's like at Miami, and it's still a possibility I'll commit there." He's going to wait until Signing Day to announce his final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU! 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 He'd be demoted to a two star by rivals and the bammar nation would claim they never liked the kid and that he's a thug. I love this, there are a lot of similarities between this story and chapman. Miami fans should be posting that the kid is a lock and that they're new coach is 10x anything that saban ever dreamed of being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrnfanatc 6 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 How many times have you guys been through a recruiting season in this state? This possibly means that Chapman will be coming to Auburn, and Corley must be going to LSU. That way, they can have someone ala Andre Smith make a big deal on signing day and make it look like Bama made some kind of big recruitig coup over a perinnial power in the U.

That way, they can have someone ala Andre Smith make a big deal on signing day and make it look like Bama made some kind of big recruitig coup over a perinnial power in the U. Brilliant deduction. Brilliant! Murphy was their claim to fame all along. Saban was hailed as the best recruiter of this generation because he was able to seduce a kid who intended to go to Alabama from the word go. By allowing their most secure verbal to make a sham visit, they can fraudulently prop up Saban's rep. A rep which, let's be honest here, is more smoke than mirror. And I'm sure the thinking is that when Saban "reels this kid back in" everybody will forget about his remarkably classless "coonass" comments. You know, if the Bama folks would spend half as much energy trying to do things the right way as they do trying to develop devious plots they might actually be able to compete. But there's just too much Snidely Whiplash in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimsjus 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hey BG - is Sabear going to pull his scholly? It's funny when high and mighty words come back to bite you in the butt. I love the hipocrasy(sp) of it all. There is no way in hell the you shop we shop applies to Murphy, but whenthey are "trying to run people off" or "a kid wasn't good enough to play for the tahd" or was a "thug" or just happened to be recuited by the former coach(Marve). It is ok to ignore them or force them out. It reminds me of the wishy washy bs they pulled with Juwan's suspension. One of those didnt want to hurt the team decisions... What the Tahd never learns is that these kinds of things hurt the program more than anything Juwan, Kerry Murphy, or any other thing is. You cant keep letting things slide without holding on to some kind of values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Possum 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I do not know what Murphy's intentions are, (There is a Super Bowl in Miami this weekend) but I certainly hope he remains committed. You shop, we shop, is not the same as pulling someone's offer. Pulling offers when you visit elsewhere is Les Miles's policy rather than Saban's policy. So I do not see the hypocricy charge sticking in this instance. Bama probably doesn't devise nearly as many, or any, devious plots. I think others like to look for conspiracy theories and black helicopters. I know you'll disagree, but that's what you're supposed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama Possum 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 No big deal. I am actually beginning to tire with the recruiting thing this season. For the last three or four years I have followed this stuff closely. My friends are constantly asking me, "Who got who today?" I am beginning to think that I am part of the problem rather than the solution. If I, and a bunch of other folks, stopped following the actions of 17 and 18 year olds, it would end this prima donna stuff. It used to bother me when a kid decommitted or committed elsewhere. I just don't let it bother me now. I was a little excited to hear today that the report on Noel Devine dropping Bama was false, but after seeing his ACT score, I don't think it will matter. He could be the next Mike Ford. Capable of raising a recruit class ranking in a single bound, yet unable to help on the field where it counts.

Possibly splitting hairs needlessly here, and I don't know myself or I wouldn't ask, but: Did Miles pull the scholarship because of the visit, or because the kid lied to him about the visit?

AUman43 5 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 If reports about Murphy's academic eligibility or lack thereof are true, it would seem reasonable that Bama wouldn't want to waste a scholly on somone who couldn't come in and contribute immediately given the limitations imposed by probation. IF he chooses Miami or another school, that could be the real reason behind it. This day and time only a very successful school with a solid foundation and winning program can allow several SAP people without it having a negative impact on their program.

If Auburn signed every player on the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts roster and Bama signed Steve Urkel and Richard Simmons, you'd still hear exactly the same thing in exactly the same manner so I don't know that it matters.
