He'd be completely nuts NOT to come to bama. The results speak for themselves. Ask hightower how it worked out for him. Beat UT every year, won 2 national titles, first round draft pick playing for the patriots. Not too bad lol!

The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback has returned to campus in an effort to make good on a promise he made years ago to his mother. Jackie Newton encouraged her son's athletic career yet insisted that a college degree was the most important part of playing college ball. Cam Newton promised his mother that he'd earn a college degree. He's here to make good.
For the first time since early October 2010, Newton isn't in the national spotlight. He's simply trying to ease into the university system as anonymously as possible. He's a student taking courses, not the millionaire quarterback who's become a fixture on ESPN and the NFL Network.
When Newton left school and entered the NFL Draft in 2011, many assumed he'd never return. The quarterback used Auburn, they postulated, and would toss aside all allegiances once the Carolina Panthers picked him No. 1 overall.
Guess what? Newton returned last spring to watch his statue unveiled along the east side of Jordan-Hare Stadium. In September, he shuttled himself to Atlanta and addressed the Tigers prior to their season-opening game against Clemson.
Now this. Newton has dumped his playbook for a notebook. He's back on campus yet again to finish what he started in the classroom three years ago. And he doesn't have to be here.
Newton already is worth at least $22 million via his guaranteed contract with the Panthers. Terms of his apparel deal with Under Armour are elusive, though it's reasonable to assume that agreement yields at least another $1 million per year.
- Excerpts from Rivals article
Except Bone has never threatened people on his twitter or said the things J Lee did about someone's wife.
In regards to recruiting info yes but not the comments that got him suspended for.
Don't disagree with you there. He suspended himself (he owned auburnsports.com) and sold recently to Jay Tate and Justin Hokanson.
Effective immediately Jeffrey Lee has been suspended indefinitely by Auburn Media, LLC, publisher of the Auburn Tigers Football -- AuburnSports.com site, due to his inappropriate message board post last night.
That was from Eric Winter. But heard many stories who fired or suspended him. He is lucky that is all that happened to him for the things he said to be honest.
JLee was majority owner of the LLC. I believe untruths/fabrications/fantasies have been stated from both sides' boards.
In regards to the what was actually said I saw a screenshot that was posted on the conversation. It was started by the other poster but JLee was notorious for his attacks especially with the fact he owned the site and felt he could get away with anything. But his response that night, no matter what the other poster said, was just uncalled for. I doubt many posters from anysite would take that and probably would be the last of JLee if he said that to someone in person.
What did he say? Just curious.
