It has basically been posted above as a GIF. There wasn't small talk. He was so excited, he was bouncing and just reached down and grabbed the Bama hat!! Awesome!!

"When I took my visit, I took two visits. I got to see what the campus life is outside of football season as well as my official. I saw how the gameday atmosphere is, the culture. They have a winning tradition. They don't lie to you. I know when I go in, I won't be No. 1 on the depth chart."

"They don't lie to you" This is why Coach Saban is so successful in getting these young men to the University. He's a no BS coach and I think these recruits appreciate that.

Welcome to the Alabama family Da'Shawn.

In case any of you were wondering, the person from NBC Sports pronounced his name "Day'Shawn."

How 'bout the gospel from his pert' near-hometown newspaper - you could even take him up on his Twitter invite to come on down for some BBQ!
Wow, he has an online show about his senior season! Sweet! I watched the episode that included his visit to Bama. Very cool show, a lot like Two-A-Days. His head coach is decked in Auburn gear, too. haha. I didn't recognize his name, but I suppose he played there.

I can't post the first words that come to my mind...so I'll just say I am pleasantly shocked. I don't like surprises, but this helped turn around an otherwise bad day...

All I can say is "Wow". I didn't even bother looking for the announcement online I was so sure he was going to UM. It almost isn't fair having CNS as our coach.

Karibi Dede was on the Auburn team as a LB from 2002-2006, and was on their staff (defensive quality control) in 2011.

This is CNS's brilliance. The best still appreciate that the only place "success" comes before "work" is in the dictionary. This young man knows he's got to work to earn it.

I'm sure most other schools promised him immediate playing time.

Wow, I put a lot of stock in what Farrell was saying. Very glad that both he and most people were wrong. Roll Tide!!
