*** LB Rashaan Evans Signs With Alabama ***
- Thread starter runtheoption22
- Start date
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the explanation over on ITAT now Bama fans - who apparently are all impoverished sidewalk alumns - can afford to bribe recruits, HS coaches, the media, the SEC office, the NCAA, etc. We must be paying them in firewood and pecans.
Easy, we use the money they use to repay student loans to pay for players.
Wonder who the guy on the phone was calling? Probably went something like this:
"Hey. Yeah, it's me. The kid turned his back on the fambly. Institute Operation PlayaHater immediately. No mercy. Take his job, burn the house, blow up the car, and disembowel the dog. Yeah, start today. This can't keep happening, send a message. If you're caught, I don't know you, understood?"
The clowns on ITAT are discussing how to ruin the careers of RE's parents. Not cultish or classless at all. 
I just made this..,and 24 hours later it's still funny. I'm positive I'm gonna make this my avi for the offseason
Took just a quick glimpse over on ITAT, and indeed the Evans family is being vilified on a biblical scale. The weeping and gnashing of teeth is pandemic, as you would expect.
I know! I'm really concerned for them. Literally they may have to move over this. SO SAD! I'm sure they're more than disappointed at the reaction of their "family".
IMO, his Mother was disappointed by the crowd reaction and not his decision. According to ESPN, he informed his parents of the decision on Tuesday evening.
When Al Ford was an SEC ref and Pat Dye was the barn HC, that was a 4-3-5 defense. Al never required them to play with just eleven.

I believe Al was just part of the "fambly". His Daughter was S/T of the barn SGA when she was a student there. At the same time he was doing their games!
some of the comments:
Most of the guys mentioned (Ray Drew, Lattimore, Darby, Yeldon, Calloway, etc.) may have been considered Auburn leans at some point during the process, but none of those guys were considered to be locks to Auburn when they made their final decisions. Most of those recruits were close races. I cannot remember a guy in recent history that was thought to be an Auburn lock and then committed elsewhere. If Evans commits to Bama on NSD, I think that would safely be considered the biggest upset, at least in recent history.
Comment about Yeldon by prominent ITAI poster
Personally I am glad we missed him. He is talented but he does have a tendency to lay the football down on the turf. It looks as though he may have been relegated to #2 if what Henry did in the Sugar bowl is any indication. Glad we missed out on Foster as well for different reasons.
Comment about Foster
Foster shocked me most. The tattoo seemed like a lock. (Of course the REC using his father kind of makes it understandable.)
I agree with your conclusion. I tend to get aggravated when people act like lil nick is stealing players left and right from AU. It hasn't happened. In fact over the last 5 years, AU has actually gotten more players that it has offered that bama offered also. WDE
Clearly. No doubt this was a big miss.
I will seriously temper ANY enthusiasm I get from "insider" comments in the future.
Hate to say this, but my info had been saying RE to UAT for the past couple of weeks. Look at my previous posts about RE. Hate to be right on this one. UAT got a good one. This really hurts Auburn.
Seems to me the Evans family played the AU coaching staff like a cheap fiddle. Too bad, too, but his dad put his son in the exact same position he was in when he signed at Auburn. I'll be surprised if he sees much early PT with 15 or 16 other LBs on bama's depth chart.
How our "insiders" miss on an Auburn legacy in our backyard is absurd. We either got played or the insiders know even less than they say.
Also, Auburn fans should be really upset with a former coach who I will not name who influenced RE to UAT....
Grady? and King? Over on BOL have been calling Evans to ...... since last weekend! And, they were posting detailed info over there...
How do ...... insiders get this inside info, when our insiders tell us not to believe that crap...? 4 years straight????
Not getting in the family thing because it will not be tolerated here, however, I know for a fact a certain or two former coaches were in RE's ear during the whole time telling him not to go to Auburn....
Yep, I'm not going to sweat losing this guy. look at previous guys that tried to play our staff. TJ and CK have been good but Foster, Liner, Calloway etc haven't done jack squat.
He played everyone. "Insiders" hear what coaches are being told. When a kid tells a coach that he's coming and that trickles down to "insiders", that is what gets reported to you.
Believe it or not kids lie. We already had a Rashaan Evans profile up on the Auburn site, don't you think that is odd unless they had very good indication that he was coming?
This is but a few.

Allbarn idiots should be angry with their staff for dropping the ball, not Evans for making a business decision for the rest of his life.
