I'm just glad these guys (SR & VT) are decommitting now, instead of waiting until signing day. Filling their slots won't be a problem, and we will, in all likelihood, get another one just as good, if not better.
I'm not going to say he wouldn't have been a good player for us, but I honestly believe in this case the player who takes his spot will be an upgrade. The Talamaivao decommitment was the only of the two that was a disappointment to me.I hate to lose him, and I hate when we pretend that we didn't want a player when they decommit (or don't join us on Signing Day decisions). To those of you wishing him well, I'd like to say thank you for being classy and I'll get in line with you.
Good luck Mr. Roberts. I will be rooting against you every Iron Bowl, but don't take it personally. I still would have loved to have you on the team.
Said no one on Tide Fans, ever.I am shocked!
Why was it expected? Proximity to the farm?As expected/assumed, he flipped to Auburn today.
He's been visiting almost all their home games. He originally said he was only going because it was close to Opelika. Many thought this was going to happen even though he reaffirmed his commitment a few weeks ago to Saban.Why was it expected? Proximity to the farm?
Yep!he did it early, we have time to work outer angles, no hard feelings...hope he has a solid career...
he grew up an Auburn fan, and now that theyre improving, i can understand going with his heart...best of luck.
This is just entirely too rational. We're gonna have to work on you.he did it early, we have time to work other angles, no hard feelings...hope he has a solid career...
