SKIPPER_01 99 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 seriously though...if we could get Trovon Reed on board, i think we could land a bunch of these guys. Seastrunk will follow Reed. And the masses will follow Seastrunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballman8388 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Man, these coaches are brilliant! Props to Luper and company for the idea and I hope we can get a couple commits out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prowler 1 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 DB Deion Belue has been added to the list. There will be more coming in sometime Saturday or Sunday. If Auburn lands Lache and Lattimore....Good Golly, that would be freakin' sweeter than Yoohoo. If you get some bigtime RB commitments early, than you'll more than likely get some bigtime OLinemen that'll want to open the holes for them.

auwallace 6 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 made page five of the mpr...........if napoleon had come up with this and had this many top recruits in town then it would have made the front page of the paper. but our bammers will chime in and try to spew the argument that there's no bama media bias.

quietfan 233 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Another thought about having all these big names in on the same weekend: It sets the tone for "team before individual" when/if they're playing together. (That was a big part of the magic of 2004 with all of its star talent!) I mean, we could have brought the big names in individually or in smaller groups and played to their egos: "YOU'LL be the star here!". Instead we bring them in as a group and send the message "We want you as part of this TEAM...you're all in it together and there's no room for prima donnas".

AUman43 5 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Man, that's an incredible list. If we could get just half of this bunch, it would wind up in a top ten class. I'm so proud of Trooper, Luper and co and can''t wait until signing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runswithscissors 33 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 made page five of the mpr...........if napoleon had come up with this and had this many top recruits in town then it would have made the front page of the paper. but our bammers will chime in and try to spew the argument that there's no bama media bias. All of this news didn't come out until around 10PM or thereafter. MPR prints at 10:30. Kinda hard to get a full blown front page story done in 30 minutes, don't you think? FWIW, there have been AU articles on the front page of the MPR sports section the past few days now. There was a story on Robert Cooper and AU on the front page of Sports yesterday or the day before that. Nothing is really going on at UA, so AU has been getting some love. But hey, slant it however you want man. Oh, and Alabama has had a large number of top recruits on campus before. They just don't blow it up and make it a huge deal usually. If you follow BOL you will see stories on it from time to time. Well, minus the pie, cake, and watermelon eating contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, feel free to inform me. I was sitting here around 10PM and nothing was even up on AuburnSports' Rivals page. Nothing on any of the "major" AU blog sites. Then right after 10PM, AuburnSports was the first to post anything. I would gather AU gave them info and asked them to hold it until 10PM. If you haven't noticed, usually when there is a story about somebody committing or visits or something like that, the MPR usually cites BOL or AuburnSports. But hey, go ahead and prove to me that EVERYBODY knew before 10PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an argument over on TigerDroppings with some AU fan saying something big was going to happen, and at 9:30 everybody was still waiting. Thats why I was watching the AuburnSports page myself waiting to see what was going on. I'm not talking about somebody posting something in a message board, I'm talking about an actual story on the front page. Thats great that Jay Tate posted something on his blog at 8:30, but like I said, AuburnSports is usually the MPR source on this sort of thing and it wasn't up there until right around 10PM. And like I said, you are incorrect on the bias of the MPR as well. It is delivered to my house every morning, so I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auwallace 6 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 holy crap......you think i just pulled 7:29 out of my a$$? go to the bunker, you can see the thread titles even if you aren't a member and the times are posted next to it. and as for the mpr being bama biased or not. i grew up in mobile and still read the news from it on al.com everyday. there IS a bias. you don't see it because you are an alabama fan. i'm not saying the bias is unwarranted, the majority of their readers are most likely bama fans (whether or not they can read is up for debate). therefore the pandering is understood. however it is still there whether you or any other bammers want to believe it. hell you should boast that the state papers pump you guys more than us.
