**** RB TJ Yeldon commits to Alabama (Updates: Page 21) ****

Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

If Yeldon does indeed switch I honestly expect Winston to switch his commitment as well. All those guy bonded well at the Bama missisippi all star game. Also throw in Taylor. The pieces are coming into place.
 
Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

I'm guessing it would be one of their recruiting guys (Suttles or Ostendorf [?]) making that prediction.

I was sent the article and a part of it states "if Alabama closes with the players we are currently predicting they lead for: Winston, Yeldon, Goldman, Jenkins, Jones, Dixon and Taylor Alabama will have the #1 class and not to mention if they add Collins to the fold." So they are stepping out on a limb, esp with Winston and Yeldon but if we close with these guys what a phenomonal class it would be. Hope he is right.
 
Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

If we close like that this class may be the best ever signed by any school.
 
Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

Indeed. If we signed half of those guys it would still make it a #1 class in some people's eyes.

With Eddie Williams and Chris Black already committed we could possibly end up with 6 5 stars by Rivals. Wow
 
Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

I definitely see D. Belue making it into this class too. Btw, is Alfy hill still out there? If we do sign Yeldon, I don't think he will be the best RB we sign this class.
Btw, Does anyone remember when AU said they wouldn't recruit Demont Buice from Gaston as a RB because 6'1" is too tall for a RB. Yet, Yeldon is the same height.

That would be outright phenomenal, but I'm not sure exactly how much of that can be legitimately expected. It could happen, to be sure, and perhaps all of those guys outside of Winston and Yeldon might even be likely to sign with UA, but at some point it's like reading Jeff Lee, you know?

"Jeff Lee" Funny stuff, really. I was thinking the same thing about Bone after his Bama's on the verge of a big time commitment tweet fizzled into the realm of prediction rather than fact (IMO). It's been what, over a day, almost two, and nothing's come to fruition. Bone's starting to make me think he'd be a good meteorologist. Sadly, recruiting's starting to get watered down with broad and assumed info that's served up hot to everyone hungry for related content. I keep telling myself, "hey, selfster", Scout, Rivals etc.. have a vested interest in selling info, even if it means forcasting future or 'likely' events. As long as the reports remain vague and relevant to what subscribers and potential subscribers want to hear it serves the purpose of reporting something, anything, with the end result being a marketed product often bias and perceived as having value because it cost money.

This is why the "recruiting service" I pay for is TideFans. In no time flat, as soon as news starts to break about recruiting or we land a big committment it gets posted at TideFans.

Aub friend said that Chizik called Yeldon yesterday, and TJ confirmed his commitment to Auburn. Is this true?
 
Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

"Yeldon and Chizik didn't talk long, but didn't need to."
 
Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

That is what J Lee wrote, but saw no actual quote from either. The reason I am skeptical about that is the article that says that also says that CGC visited Yeldon yesterday to address any concerns about him wavering, and that after the visit a phone called was made stating that. My question why would you need to call right after you visit. Unless you left the visit really worried and are now begging.

The fact is the Au boards are blowing up over this. They are very bipolar over there and seem very concerned. They have also already started threads about how UA has cheated and will get turned in if we flip Yeldon. They say they have the information needed to do so if Yeldon comes to UA. Now I am not stupid because if that were true, it would not matter where he goes, they still would if they had try and get UA in trouble.

Again I am starting to thank this will take place and he flips, but either way we will know soon.

“Nothing has changed with T.J. and he asked me to put that out there,” said Mike Vickery, one of the Daphne assistant coaches. “He will not be doing any interviews so we wanted to take care of this. We are getting a lot of phone calls right now.”

Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

I had never heard of Vickery until I read another article today about him being the one suggesting Yeldon is going to flip to UA. I blew it off until now becuase I assumed the HC would be the one dealing with the matter and not some AC. Now I find it interesting that he is the one speaking for Yeldon. I read yesterday that the HC was not happy about Yeldon maybe having a soft commitment and why the AU staff visited and called after the visit.

Re: RB TJ Yeldon Updates (AU commitment)

Yeah, really? Where'd you read that? I'd like a glimpse.

It's going to be one day in the Iron Bowl when T.J. is running all over you and you will swear he's just trying to make his way to your sideline to change jerseys. Geez, people, reality! Participate!
