Hmm ... possible I guess, but I don't remember anyone having Morris or Wright to anyone other than TN except one guy having Morris to Auburn after he agreed to a visit there. Morris was a early TN commitment and stayed steady throughout, I remember Wright was considered a TN lean by just about everyone throughout his whole Sr year of recruitment. I don't remember it as being a surprise at all when both officially signed with TN, it was fully expected, but I guess there could have been a rivals homer out there somewhere predicting otherwise.

Morris asked for an AUB commit graphic the night before he announced. Was very close to going off the rails.

👍 Gotcha. I know he committed to UT on 5/1/18 and I don't recall him ever wavering on that (and according to him he never did) despite a rumor or 2 about Auburn and/or Ga Tech. I guess that's why I don't recall anyone having him pegged for Auburn after that, but I guess it's possible someone might have.

yeah I don't remember if there were CBs made for him to AUB or not, but it was a little hairy behind the scenes there for a bit.

As long as we get Dee, then I am happy with the finish.

And what are you all talking about, is Dee Beckwith really not going to sign Wednesday?...and if not why? That would really suck if true.

Your going to get the same response as they have been all year. D. Bailey (who), J Hyatt, (a Virginia tech decomit) K Lawrence( he won't stick, a long fight on our hands) No freaking 5 stars.....WTF....same guys that turned off the bowl at half time, itching to wake up and post here!!!

Most of the strife on here is the result of self declared recruiting experts stating what is and isn’t acceptable recruiting per the state of our program. “If you don’t do this...then that!” don’t go over very well with posters that have year round interest in recruiting but get updated with these revelations at crunch time. There’s no ONE way of building a recurring talent pool. There’s how Bama did it and then there’s how Clemson did it...and yes there’s a difference.

No question, direction, time, and moving up I think is happening. Most want it tommorow! I am seeing positive directions, one heck of a defense, and big strides in recruiting. I believe things start coming our way. Should there not be judgment. Of Course, but the flipping out over next years record and 2 or 3 true freshman dependent on that is silly.

And Pruitt is doing it more like Clemson did it. And Clemson has overtaken Alabama.

Saban's own success and coaches from his tree being hired is his own worst enemy now.
If he still had Locksley and Pruitt as Coordinators...i think Alabama would've been 3 peat champions. ...maybe. LSU was VERY good this season. So idk.

But Saban can't build any coaching continuity.

A week or so before announcement when he and pappoe visited auburn Wanya was on flip watch because everyone was freaking out here. TN turned it back around after the visit high wore off. There was a day or so though that we had lost him even VQ said it at the time which caused the panic here

How do you mean? His staff and culture? Hopefully our staff sticks together that long and we can see we are doing it the Clemson way of a family culture and continuity vs Saban's mercenary style.
