$$$$$$$$$, young jeezy greatest hits, Miley Cyrus pajamas, and more $$$$$$$$$$

Really he completely contradicts everything that he said was important the entire recruiting season. Garner has this boy brainwashed. Garner just completely changed routine and did exact opposite and convince him that it was what he wanted. Garner basically told him he wouldn't go pro if he came here and the kid fell for it

Funny, Tennessee is tied for 7th and Auburn isn't even in the top ten with former players currently on NFL rosters.

USC, LSU and Miami had the most former players on 2013 NFL Week 1 rosters | Campus Union - SI.com

...and it's not like our guys are scrubs just barely hanging on to a roster spot. We put 5 players in the Pro Bowl last year as I recall (Peyton Manning, Jason Witten, Jarod Mayo. Eric Berry, Dustin Colquitt). I think only Miami had more. I don't care why he flipped but it would be interesting to hear an explanation for why he lied about his change of heart. Did Garner encourage him to do that or did he do it on his own accord? Auburn will talk about what a "great kid" he is but never mention his lying.

How many Auburn players will be drafted this year? UT with a 5-7 team should still have 6 guys drafted, 7 if AJJ leaves. Maybe more.

The 5 OL and Palardy? Which 6 are you talking about?

I think 4 of the 5 O-linemen. Don't see Bullard getting drafted. I see McCullers getting picked up as a late round pick solely based on his size. Not sure about Palardy. That's probably about it. I don't think AJ gets drafted right now. If he did I think it would be in the 6th or 7th round.

One perspective on Lambert signing with Auburn -

Lambert was adamant over the last two weeks that he wasn't flipping from Tennessee. Other sites reported that he had already notified Auburn he was flipping, that obviously wasn't true as we watched Lambert's recruitment unfold. But there's no question Lambert's decision to visit for the Iron Bowl set events in motion.

Lambert didn't talk to anyone in the day leading into his decision. Tennessee sources indicated on Tuesday that the Tennessee coaching staff wasn't feeling confident about where they stood with Lambert anymore. Lambert switched and signed with Auburn on Wednesday. He didn't announce his decision
until after 3 p.m. ET, but he actually signed with Auburn earlier in the day and the news was kept quiet until Lambert announced at Burke County High School.

Lambert, at 6-foot-4, 275-pounds, can play defensive tackle or defensive end. He's
ranked as a strongside defensive end, but he's listed as a defensive tackle on the AuburnSports.com Hot Board. Tennessee tried very hard to use Freshman All-American Carl Lawson against Auburn in the recruiting process, telling Lambert that Auburn wanted
him strictly as a defensive end and he
wouldn't play in front of Lawson. That tactic didn't work. With seniors Jeffrey Whitaker, Gabe Wright and Angelo Blackson, plus junior Ben Bradley and freshman Montravius Adams returning at defensive tackle, Lambert's chances of breaking into the
rotation at defensive end are much better,
where Nosa Eguae, Craig Sanders, Dee Ford and Kenneth Carter are all graduating. Lambert and Lawson could become a formidable duo for two years on the Plains. Expect Lambert to be similar to how Eguae has been used this season, playing end on
early downs and moving to tackle as a pass-
rusher on third downs.

I hope he is a complete bust. The way he handled this is a joke.

Theory:

Lambert's grades suck. Butch has warned him ahead of time, things need to be in order. Garner comes in, talkin' sweet. Lambert mentions his problem. Garner tells him, "son, this is auburn. There's no such thing as a grade problem." Lambert flips last minute to save face instead of being left in the cold

Why are people still posting in this thread? He signed with Auburn. Get over it and move on. Lets talk about guys that are UT commits and guys we have a chance to sign.

Mods - we have a policy regarding sexual content, can we have one banning comments about wishing physical harm to others? There's no place where this should be acceptable.

Let's just put together a list of things we don't want people to say or disagree with. I'm sure it would make everything so much better.

Or just ignore the thread. And go to the threads you like to discuss those recruits.

He doesn't play for your favorite football team so you want him to suffer a life changing injury? That's somebody's son. Get your freaking priorities straight.

It's not that at all. Lambert is the type of guy who thinks he's better than you. It was obvious he was an egotistical jackass with how he handled his recruitment. People like him don't deserve the gifts and blessings they have.

I really respect the other decommits for least being honest.
