That must be what Brent Calloway was thinking when he signed with his dad's top choice, Alabama, over his own preference, Auburn. Calloway went with his dad's choice despite the fact that Alabama wanted him to play defense, and Calloway sees himself as Auburn saw him -- as a tailback. Calloway had other reasons to want Auburn. His adopted brother attends a school 20 minutes from Auburn, and he'd made friends with several Auburn recruits. Calloway was so set against Alabama that, when he picked Auburn last month, he signaled his choice by grabbing an Auburn hat instead of hats from two other schools -- neither of them Alabama.
Alabama wasn't even a finalist, and then it was his choice on signing day. Why? Because his father -- sorry, his adopted father, a music minister who has a history of adopting future college athletes -- wanted him to honor a commitment he had made to Alabama more than a year earlier. His father went public with that, telling newspaper reporters that he expected his son to fulfill his commitment to Alabama.
Ultimately Calloway did just that. He picked Alabama, because that's what his God-fearing father expected from him. Shame on the father, but shame somewhat on the son as well. It's your life, Brent Calloway. Try to live it that way.

Right! What about the fact that AU was the only school that was telling him he'd play as a RB, not a LB? I guess coaches saying whatever they want to get a kid... a kid, to sign with them is ok.

Or how about the fact that Chizik told Calloway he would never play either side of the ball at Bama, that Saban was going to coach the Titans, and tons of other falsehoods?

Neither does he mention that Calloway's HS coach who is a Barn graduate was pushing for him to switch his commit to the Barn. He went as far as to get him roomed with 2 other Barn commits at the Army All American game.

Funny how it is seen as meddling parents when these kids come into question, but a CERTAIN QB has his daddy shop him around to the highest bidder and that is seen as a caring parent!!!!

And that certain QB admitted on more than one occassion that his choice was MSU, and only went to au cause his dad told him to.
