Its no secret that Saban is a complete a-hole. He wants top talent and will say anything to get it even it means totally fricking over his commitments. You would think it would catch up with him, but considering he is the godfather of college football it hasn't.

Sounds like the barn is jealous IMO.

Finding anyway to explain why they are 2nd rate to U of A.

You just summarized their existence in two sentences better than anybody ever has in 100 years. Congrats.

It will. Patience.

If Shorty is smart he'll retire while he's on top; if he doesn't, expect a Woody Hayesque/Bobby Knight meltdown where he doesn't just frick over a recruit as described in the article, but chokes one on the sidelines.

Saban doesn't have to worry, he's already won 2 titles why be such a dick in recruiting.

I wonder where all that "HONOR" was when a little known oil changer and former LSU fan suddenly had enough money to host parties for HS football players in excess of $10,000.
Then still could afford to take off work and drive recruits to AU campus.

It is no different than when a kid is verbal all the up to signing day then switches his commitment.

Don't be mad at Saban or the kid...it is the system and it is business.

Exactly. The entire system is broken.

That's funny - Auburn taking the high road.

I guess they forgot about the the La boys and Cam Newton

At least he's not stupid enough to bash a kid who de-commits:
