    In fairness to Jeffrey Lee, Yeldon and his coach were both saying he was all AU. Hell, his coach even put that out there to Newberg on the 15th via Yeldon. And he re-confirmed with Chizik two days before the switch.

    Mark Murphey from Scout and Philip Marshall from 247Sports both put out the same things. Mark even went further with it saying he wouldn't switch... Difference being though is that 247 only reported what the coach said. Mark appologized to the board. J. Lee got angry and sounds like deleted any posts.

    Agreed. If you want to switch, switch. But don't lie for weeks (at least) and then do it via press release at the dead period... by having your coach call the team you strung along.

    Exactly how I feel. Just tell them you are switching. The worst thing they can do to you is call you.

    I agree. I don't really mind him switching (don't get me wrong I wanted him in our class) but if you are going to do it and know you are for almost 3 weeks don't go about it like he did. Don't play us and lie to are coaches and just about everyone else. Just was poorly handled IMO.

    J Lee really needs a refresher course in customer relationships.

    That network made it ok to treat their customers like that a while ago. When you have a national guy that rarely even talks to any customers basically come out and do the same thing it lets everyone know that is ok to do. I'm talking about Barry Every in this case. This site will start to pick up a lot of customers if he doesn't. The people that pay for Scout won't ever switch but I don't see the same loyalty with rivals.

    He is banning too many people for no reason. He started banning people for rating threads 1 star. The guys he did it to are choads but that is ridiculous. I've been banned from there at least 3 times and every time he never knows why.

  • Just don't tell people to change their tampon on TideSports.com. Thats how I got banned after I dealt with some loser whining all week before the Michigan State game about how our offense was in total disarray. Of course we scored 49 pts against a top-10 defense the next week after I got banned and I couldn't talk any crap :(

    Also who was the national guy that basically came out in like a drunken stupor and admitted that rankings were fixed over on Rivals?

    I think it was Barry Every that basically said that bama got their way a lot over there with how kids were ranked.

    I told you there was more to the story and the Newberg stuff meant nothing. But you just couldn't handle it. I get it. But I'm as objective a Bama fan on this board and I sat here and told you there was more to the Yeldon story and you called me every name in the book.

    When the owner of the site says pay attention to the situation I'm going to take his word over some asst coach at Daphne HS.

    Pretty sure that the Yeldons didn't come up with that plan but they sure went along with it. That was basically Saban rolling down the window and giving Chiz the bird.

  • Well, considering two Auburn coaches looked Yeldon in the eye and bold-faced lied to him, TJ didn't owe that coaching staff a damn thing. And the hypocrisy is ridiculous here, it's only okay to switch if you're making the switch to Auburn?

    edit: Meant to make the last sentence a question, not a statement.

    In all fairness, AU posters haven't acted any differently than hoards of bama posters did last year when Callaway switched to auburn. For the most part, the ones on here haven't been bad at all.

    I'm pretty sure all of us here on tBB have been saying we're just upset with HOW he switched. Don't let your bias blind you though.

    Hypocrisy would be saban's statement on recruiting committed players. But let's not let facts get in the way of idiocy.

    No, your reasoning was retarded. You were saying since Newberg's opinion on where people end up had been wrong in the past, his quotes from a coach were stupid to pay attention to. And they aren't. In general, coaches don't put out press releases that outright lie about a kid's commitment status at his behest two days before a switch.

    Heard this rumor going around that luper lied to him. I haven't heard the full story yet though. How did he lie and what was it about if you know? Not calling you out at all I just have seen it and have no clue what it was he lied about.

    What fact did I dispute? He plays by the rules, even if he doesn't like them. I don't see how that has anything to do with it.

    My point was that people are mad at how he switched, but the Auburn coaching staff lied to the kid, so he didn't owe them a face to face de-commitment. Should he have? Absolutely! My dad reared me to do such things. But don't act like "aww, poor Auburn because the coaches were lied to".

    Apparently only a couple days before Gus left for Arkansas State... Frankly, the Auburn coaches may not have known Gus was leaving. So it could've been Gus lying to the other Auburn coaches. But either way, it's never good for recruiting.

    I won't sit here and say JLee is anything but a douche, but honestly, the entire Rivals network is falling apart like nobody's business. Being here on 247 is like watching the Chicago fire from... anywhere else really.

    ESPN (2-3 years ago) and 247, obviously, have been sniping Rivals best talent from its hay day period. What's left is the bitter a-holes who didn't get picked for a new team.
