IndyTiger 3 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Jeffrey Lee of AuburnSports.com has a new article up about Erique and reports AU leads big. It's premium content but I'm making an exception for this quote... Auburn's A-Day Game was real nice," he said. "It is way better than Alabama's A-Day Game. Definitely. You get treated a lot different at Auburn. They make you feel at home. You just get the sense of how different things are at Auburn. http://auburn.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1077822 That is a great quote. But how did he attend both, if they were on the same day? Did he attend Bama's in '09 and Auburn's in '10? That is exactly what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,505 Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Some chatter... I know there are a ton of rumors out there right now about Valley High's Erique Florence, a top AU prospect, being kicked off his team.... Here's what I know: @oanewspreps has confirmed Florence went through a rough spot with the team last week but is back with the team. ... Florence is playing QB this year but projects as a safety at the next level. He's maybe 1 of the top 3 prospects in the state. ... Rivals ranks him the No. 2 safety in the country, ESPN ranks him the 57th best overall prospect. ... Florence has offers from pretty much everyone on the planet. He recently said Auburn was his No. 1 and Alabama is his No. 2 at the moment. http://twitter.com/AUBlog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,505 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 A little more background for those who missed this 'story' ... Scout’s ‘Bama writer Andrew Bone tweeted that he’d been booted from Valley’s football team, giving Tide fans just the juicy opportunity they'd been waiting for to claim–everybody, say it with me!–”WE DIDN’T WANT HIM ANYWAY. Nevermind that the original report wound up refuted by Auburn’s recruiting writers within a matter of minutes, of course, or that the original tweet was deleted. http://www.thewareaglereader.com/2010/06/krootin-629/ And the smack down... So what really happened? Here’s what I know: @oanewspreps (Editor’s Note: Hey! That’s me!) has confirmed Florence went through a rough spot with the team last week but is back with the team.I talked with Valley coach Mike McCombs on Saturday morning and he said Florence—along with a couple of other players—went through “some problems” last week, but as of Saturday morning, everything was copacetic. http://www2.oanow.com/oan/oasports/erique_florence_is_kicked_off_the_valley_football_team/163201/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,505 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 His announcement will be televised live... Florence to announce decision on ESPNValley’s Erique Florence has officially gone big time, agreeing to announce his college decision on ESPN. The Rams’ senior, who’s one of the top safety recruits in the nation, said he received a phone call from ESPN on Monday evening asking if it could send a crew out to Valley on National Signing Day on Feb. 2. Florence has yet to make a decision on where he’ll be playing next season, but his final three remains the same: Alabama, Auburn and USC. USC: Florence made an official visit to sunny California this past weekend, where he said he was just amazed by the rich history and tradition that surrounds the Trojans’ athletic programs. He said attending USC would put him in the spotlight, noting how much media he would be surrounded by in Los Angeles and how close he would be to athletic landmarks such as the Staples Center. The only thing he didn’t like so much about USC were its facilities, he said. Auburn: Living just down I-85 from Auburn, Florence has had the chance to enjoy the hype surrounding the Tigers’ BCS National Championship. The Auburn football program’s “family atmosphere” has really drawn him in, and after an undefeated season by the Tigers, Florence couldn’t find anything bad to say about the program. “I really can’t find anything I don’t like about it,” he said. Alabama: Florence said the coaching staff in Tuscaloosa is what has kept the Crimson Tide on his radar. While Alabama and Auburn have similar SEC programs, Florence added that distance from home won’t play a factor if he has to decide between the two. http://www2.oanow.com/blogs/prep-blog/2011/jan/18/3/florence-announce-decision-espn-ar-1357113/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
