📝 National Signing Day - 2018

[TerryP]

Brown was a TAMU commit until around Christmas time. Goes to show what all the speculating, word on the street, crystal ball predictions, and insider info prior to signing day is worth. Often times as much as the sandwich I had for dinner.

Hope the kid is happy there. We'll win without him.

A lot of the time I'd agree with you here on guys who are announcing on signing day. However, in this situation, there's has to be a line drawn between "Brown telling the UA staff he was planning on signing with the Tide" and simply laying it at the feet of his recruitment being "word on the street." He told the staff one thing, then turned around and did something else. It happens and in some situations there's been something else going on in the background (see Ole Miss a few years ago.)

One thing that might be worth looking into (for entertainment purposes only) is what happened over the last visit with Brown. There was an A&M beat writer (one of those with a CB vote on 247) who tweeted Brown had committed to A&M again over the weekend. @uagrad93 makes mention of a beat writer tweeting the picture of Brown signing. Was it the same guy? If so, it goes to show another example of reporters being far too involved with the recruiting process. It's cost Bama another one in the past in a slightly different scenario.

The day he claimed to have called one of the AL.com writers to confirm a story he was the butt of a few jokes. Considering the timeline and who he said he called his story fell apart. Zenitz, or however you spell his name, had already tweeted the "news" he was sharing and confirming. It was a joke.

What was funnier was the claim he knew Thompson's dad and they were really good friends but he didn't have a clue what was going on with DT when he was hurt in post-season practices.

Didn't he deserve "the shade?"

If you're going to bitch at people when they get something wrong or their opinion differs, better be ready to give credit when it's due. A few posters around here have a hard time with that... Only want to bitch

What a list. Anyone remember Seantrel Henderson in what, 2010?

Yep sure do, Bobby Massey was another one a remember, Byron Cowart, Tim Hawthorne, Doral Green Beckham, Mitch Mustain.. we could go on and on and on...

Alex Collins was another one that was crazy, but not his fault. His dang momma stole his Letter of Intent and drove off where he couldn't sign it to Arkansas cause she didn't want him leaving South Florida. Crazy Crazy.

One of the funniest things I've heard regarding a player getting suspended for smoking was when he was at Miami and Golden said he'd been suspended for "weeding."

His is a pretty messed up story when you factor in all the influences, USC and their sanctions, etc.

What time is Tebow committing?

Man that Brown loss hurts... My question to Terry - Would we use that spot for a grad transfer? Seems like DL is the perfect position for a big boy Grad transfer. We need another body in the middle!! RTR

Saban is pushing hard for Langham right now.

Yes I realize that CC, but was expecting him to be in the class anyway! Need someone who can play from day 1

Well... right now Langham is headed to Florida, unless Saban can flip him.

 

[Rolltide24]

Any chance we don't sign 25 to this class by the end of the day? Or is that why some guys are announcing later, seeing if they get the call there is room? I always kind of assume that CNS knows before the day starts who will sign and where he stands, but maybe he doesn't.

Look how fluid recruiting is...

I've heard a few mention that in conversation but it was always in the context of "do you know of any?" I don't. I haven't looked.

You'll like this analogy I ran across....with the exception of not being upfront about his injury Langham is having somewhat of a "Darius signing day problem."

 

[Crimson Legacy]

Bobby Brown has told the UA staff he is sticking with Bama. :rtrsign::hurray::rtrsign::hurray::rtrsign::hurray::rtrsign:
