AUSportTalk 4 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 A few things about Reuben and his recruitment. -Reuben likes the spotlight -He is very emotional and makes decisions on the fly. He doesn't think very long before making them. He's a good young man but his emotions do get the best of him. -His mother loves Auburn. If it was her decision, Reuben would sign with Auburn. -Reuben is expected to make his decision tomorrow night. If I can give you a little advice, DO NOT bash him over his decision bc he does read message boards and his fax won't be sent until Wed so there will be plenty of time. That being said I still have him as a slight lean towards Auburn. This means IMO 1.This was not a bammer plot to get RF to flip(Ala TJ) 2.Something probably upset him on his AU visit 3.His Mom still wanst RF to go to AU,if something upset RF it didnt upset his mother 4.We still have a shot at him,bammer isnt a done deal ^THIS^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueridge 29 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 66 pages and no solid info about what went on with RF yesterday. I suppose something must have happened to prompt such anguish. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2kid 216 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 After the signing date, I would like to know what actually transpired in Auburn and if the stories of the "incident" involving our center true. If so, this player has to be dealt with because this behavior is unacceptable. He already got suspended from the team last year for bad behavior. He may have caused us a major recruit. I for one cannot understand why the coaches allowed the recruits to be out at the Skye Bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things are best handled without the fan base being privy to the way a professional staff has to deal with the behavior of 85 boys 18 to 22 Years old.

WarEagle1983 2,191 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I don't remember too many people bashing kids for going to a rival school. I have seen them, myself included, question the manner in which they handle themselves during the recruiting process. First off, thank God, we are in America so you can do and say what you want, for the most part, without penalty. But not without consequence. Sadly (for me) I have read hundreds of pages of Foster discussions and I don't recall anyone really bashing Reuben personally. I tend to remember where I was at 18 and try to cut slack. On the other hand is it not fair to ask is this a good fit? Our program is not stable. I feel great about all of the changes, our new coaches how well they have recruited in a tough situation and the message they (read Gus) have sent. But the sixty-something players currently on the team will be handling many many changes. This is not a time too add distractions. This is a fair question and is not a slam on Reuben. It is based on his unique actions during the recruiting process. I consider myself old so I call him a kid. He is not. He is a father and a young man. He is three years away from being a millionaire if he applies himself. He is the age of many who stormed the beaches of Normandy. If Gus and company want Reuben and can get him I will trust their decision as they have spent lots of time with the kid and us - well - none. I think I have finally reached balance on this. Remember Shawshank - Morgan Freeman in his final parole hearing. I guess that's where I'm at. Just stamp the form because right now I don't care one way or the other. War Eagle Reuben. Hope you join us. If not, better go to Clemson because you don't want no part of them Auburn tigers if you aint not wearing the Orange and Blue. 100% Agree!

tbone4jc 2,393 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Personally I think Reuben still comes to Auburn. After going though his recruitment over the last few months I think his heart is Auburn. He left the Bama OV early to come back to Auburn also if I recall correctly so until his LOI is sent Wednesday I say he signs with us....I think this class is going to be SICK with talent! War Eagle!

jtm0003 1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I was working at Kroger (in Auburn) this afternoon and I overheard a woman speaking with someone on the phone and said, "The coaches aren't worrying that Reuben went to Tuscaloosa this weekend." I couldn't stop her to ask her what her source was, but it sounded legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
