I know nothing about this kid or if he had committed to us for next year, but Bleacher Report reported that Bama was "shocked" when he flipped to Auburn and committed to them today.
Anybody have any info on this. I have no idea.

Awburn must have decided the bag man had to come out of hiding after we got Evans. Back to their old tricks!

I'm pretty sure he signed with Auburn yesterday and we did not expect him to sign with us if I am thinking of the right guy.

We weren't in the mix for this kid.

Are we talking about the Braden Smith out of Kansas that signed with them yesterday? As far as I know we had nothing going with the kid:conf2:

Ala, I saw that too! Just a drama headline. We were never in the hunt for Smith. Now if they had been talking about Evans and the reverse, the word "shocked" would have applied here.

That's kind of what I figured as well. A friend asked me about it, and I said, "I have no idea, but I guarantee you, somebody on Tidefans does, so I'll find out"..

I was right :) Thanks to all in the thread for responding and giving me the info. Truly appreciated!! sip

Re: OL Braden Smith Flips To Auburn??

Was the B/R writer an Alabama or barner? The info is bad enough to perma-block that writer. Smith was never on our radar for months. Mama and Wallace were really the only uncommitted guys we were working on since VT flipped to USC. I think some were surprised Wallace went to Arky instead of us.

either a barner wants to try feel better about Evans or Bama "writer" confused Smith for Wallace or was working with VERY old info if he believed Smith had even a commitable offer.

Smith was considering TCU and A&M. Many thought he would go to TCU for family reasons (his sister is an athlete there).

Re: OL Braden Smith Flips To Auburn??

he was "one to watch" during summer camp circuit and got owned at Bama.....like badly.
As RTO states, Smith was one to watch in the summer. Here is a comment from one of the recruiting site experts regarding Smith and a couple of other players.

The lack of interest in a few prospects dropped significantly after the summer including Lorenzo Carter (Georgia), Braden Smith (Auburn) and Donnel Stanley (South Carolina).

Re: OL Braden Smith Flips To Auburn??

Yea....I remember hearing alot of noise about Braden and Bama during the summer time, but it died down tremendously after that and we weren't a player in his recruitment and I think that was the staff's choice not Braden's

Sounds like a sensationalized article thought up in a Barner group therapy session.

Re: OL Braden Smith Flips To Auburn??

The video of him benching 515 for three reps is a little exciting. I have no idea if he can block anybody or not, but I don't think we'd have pursued him if the coaches didn't believe there was potential there... and with Greg Robinson gone... well -- we needed somebody.

Not being confrontational, but why are you posting this here? Glad you're excited , but I don't believe anyone here really gives a "war eagle" about what your recruit benches.

He's been a respectful poster for a while. He's not talking smack and just showing a little positive vibes over one of his players (now that LOI's are signed). The mods allow opposing fans to post here (save LSU) as long as they are not inflammatory. If he's survived the mods as an opposing fan for 4 years, why worry about why he posts here?

I like this board... for the most part, even though I am an Auburn guy, I've been treated fairly and I have tried to be fair. This particular thread deals with my team -- so I thought I'd chime in... no harm, no foul...
