Craig Sanders is changing his commitment to Auburn

Bodhisattva · September 30th, 2009, 04:53 PM

Whoever it is, it will be because someone higher on the staff's recruiting board will commit to Bama. No worries.

I'll worry about it on NSD if we don't have better players signed than those who decommit.

So, I doubt I'll need to worry at all.

I hate to say it, It's craig sanders, he's got ALOT of AU cloths on his facebook, hats, tees, if there is any college represented in any of his pictures, - its Auburn. not saying that means anything, but the Barn is reallllllly making their presence known.

Craig was the highest TE on our board. Sometimes you lose in recruiting, and I think we might just have. But, no worries is right! We've had more than our fair share of great athletes. It's all good. and we'll bounce back by adding a blue chipper in somewhere.

Good for Craig. This guy wants some playing time and looking at Alabama's roster it would take 3 to 4 years for him to get on the field, at best. At Auburn he could probably play this week v. UT if they had him. Good Luck Craig.

This is not really a suprise as the rumors have been floating around for a while. Word is that Sanders feels he can get on the field faster at AU because of their depth issues, and also our staff may have higher rated players on the board. Don't worry, I guarantee Coach Saban has a plan.

It's official, Craig Sanders - confirmed by the guys at Rivals.

BamaCorvin · September 30th, 2009, 05:13 PM

Oh well! Good luck to him

Airborne Tider · September 30th, 2009, 05:16 PM

This isn't really a surprise. I know it may sound like sour grapes but the fact of the matter is Alfy Hill was higher on our board at Jack and Craig knew it. The staff backed off of him and AU put on the full court press. I had held out hope Craig would stick with us because the staff would have honored his commitment if he had. But the fact is he wasn't a priority any more. I wish him the best of luck except for one game a year.

And besides we need more spots in this class for guys that are a bigger priority at the time. We have opened a lot of eyes in recruiting circuits. RTR.

That is exactly right. Just too many butts in the kitchen with Alfy in. He will be a good one for AU though.
