Mikey 16,781 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 alabamapaper asks: "When was Brian Matthews an insider?" I guess that depends on your definition of insider. Brian Matthews is a guy whose job is to track things around Auburn athletics. His specialty is recruiting. As such, he has sources that most of us don't have. His livlihood depends to a great extent on posting accurate information. If he makes a public comment, it bears more weight than most. He's not infallable, but he has some serious incentive to be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfrank55 0 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 To be honest who cares about this whole situation. When recruiting its hard to determined who will be a bang or a bust. Reuben struggle to handle the spread and many times was found out of places and looked lost. When recruiting players you're not even sure if they can handle the academic life of Auburn. I wish him well simply b/c I wish nothing negative on anyone. Oh well if they kid doesn't sign with us, lets just focus on players who want to attend AU.

TitanTiger 21,342 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Brian Matthews has posted that Foster won't be signing with Auburn. Where did you see this? I searched his posts on AUC and don't see that. I did see that he said this can't be construed as anything good for Auburn, but he didn't say Foster "wouldn't be signing with Auburn." At least anywhere I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of these threads, maybe this one or the deleted one, somebody posted a tweet from Mathews complete with a twitter link that said that.

AUHermit 0 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Perhaps Rueben simply wanted to get another late night tour around the "campus" from his U of A "hostess" because he knows he won't be getting any more " special treatment" in Tuscaloosa after NSD. PS- I'm a long time lurker who finally had to set up an account and post because apparently nobody here, especially golf, can remember the most likely reason a teenage young man might drop everything he is doing and drive 2 1/2 hours in the middle of the night.

You may be correct. However, to do that while being on an official visit here without clearing it with our coaches reveals a personality type that we are trying to weed out, not bring in.

PigskinPat 2,638 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Has anyone gotten a look at his AU tat lately?

TitanTiger 21,342 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ok, folks. I've gone through this crazy thread and cleaned it up. I'm instructing the mods to keep an eye on this thread and this subject and keep the nutty stuff out. What will get deleted on sight: 1. Off topic nonsense like the Batman tangent that got going. People want to hear updates to recruiting, not the ramblings of the ADHD crowd. Make your own thread for that stuff in All Things Considered. 2. Posts slamming Foster or Dismukes. We don't have all the facts so it is the height of irresponsibility to be trashing people right now. While it certainly doesn't look good if the rumors floating around are true for Reuben to sign with us, you never know how a sitdown with our coaches can straighten stuff out before NSD. Don't be an idiot and run a guy off that may still be open to being talked off the ledge. And regardless of what your friend thought he overheard at Skybar, until we know something more don't trash Dismukes on a public board. 3. Attacking posters who are new for being bammers or attacking Bama fans who happen to be on this thread just for being bammers. Deal with what people actually do, not what team they pull for.

msg6367 1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Here's my theory. Everyone was predicting RF to AU so to boost ratings for his comittment tomorrow night he had his friend Chris Jones tweet that he was in turdville. All the "experts" are basing their stories on that one deleted tweet. There has been no other evidence. The Dismukes story has been completely debunked. It was started on a bama blog and spread from there. Dismukes did tweet last night that it didn't happen. ST said last night that he'll find out more today so I'll just wait to see what he uncovers. I still think he was feeling a little jet lag from his SDSU visit and left the AU campus at 2:30 to go home and take a nap. :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msg6367 1 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Is there a dead period that starts tonight where the Coaches can't sit down with RF? I thought in years past there was always a dead period right before signing day. Although, it is okay for those "unrelated" to the program to kidnap a recruit and lock up at a house on the beach.
