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.

Win-win situation.

He plays early and we free up room for better players! :cool2:

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.

No real surprise. He's a good one, and will have a good career I would think. Good luck to him, but I hope he gets burned by us in the future!

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.

Roberts was at a need position for us, but the writing was on the wall with how often he visited the barn. He's a heck of a player. I'm glad he de-committed sooner rather than later.

I hate this, but like someone said, something will come from this. I want someone who wants to play for the TIDE with their full heart. I wish him well, except when he plays us.

Too bad. It was a position of need, but others will step up.

Good luck in *most* of your career at Auburn. :)

Re: *** CB Stephen Roberts Commits to Alabama ***

Why was it expected? Proximity to the farm?
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.

I wish him luck at the Barn except when he plays Alabama. Too bad as he could have learned so much from the premier CB coach in the business. Instant gratification of early playing time isn't as good as learning from the best.

This is just entirely too rational. We're gonna have to work on you.;)
