I just prefer to hope that it was done on Auburn's terms and not his. A bit of humility would go a long way towards smoothing things over.
I really thought we were done with this but it looks like we're not because this is starting to make me....
Jump, Jump, Kris Frost make ya' wanna' Jump.
Kris Frost happy to be on Auburn's commitment listPublished: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 7:47 AM Updated: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 7:47 AMBy Charles Goldberg/Auburn Bureau, The Birmingham News, Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times AUBURN -- It took 10 days, but Kris Frost's commitment to Auburn has been worked out, and he says he's ready to be a part of the Tigers' signing class on Feb. 2. Frost, who was promoted from a four-star player to a five-star prospect by Rivals on Tuesday, committed to Auburn at the U.S. Army All-American Game on Jan. 8. The announcement surprised Auburn, so much so it had to look over its recruiting board to see just where the outside linebacker/receiver from Matthews, N.C., would land. The 20th-best high school player in the nation, according to the latest Rivals 100 list, landed nicely, listed on recruiting sites as an "athlete." He said he has his eye on receiver. Frost, who originally committed to Michigan, began switching gears as the Wolverines prepared to switch coaches leading up to the all-star game. That helped lead to the surprise announcement, and had Auburn finding a spot. "Basically, it was a numbers game," Frost told AuburnUndercover.com Tuesday. "It comes down to business. I feel like Auburn thought I was going to Michigan, definitely." But he decided Auburn would be the best place after talking it over with his family. He committed, but it took more than a week before he was on Auburn's recruiting list. "It was really frustrating that a lot of people didn't know the full details of the story," said Frost, who noted the delay caused speculation that the Tigers didn't want him. "I just kind of brushed it all to the side and kept trying to get in contact with coach (Gene) Chizik. It all worked out in the end." Frost narrowed his final choices to Auburn, Michigan and LSU. Others with offers included Clemson, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, California and North Carolina. Frost could play wide receiver, a position with a lot of openings with the departure of seniors Terrell Zachery and Kodi Burns and junior Darvin Adams. But Frost could also play defense. The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder made 103 tackles, including 5 sacks, as a senior linebacker on a Butler High defense the Charlotte Observer said was likely the best prep defense in North Carolina. Frost said his all-star experience opened his eyes. "I can definitely see that I pretty much had the receiver body playing linebacker," he said. Frost said he prefers playing receiver, "but I'm a football player. I'm just excited about playing at Auburn University. That was my main goal, and now I've achieved that. Now, another goal of mine is to just get on the field wherever I play and succeed at it." Although he's been to Auburn several times, he'll make his official visit to the school this weekend when the Tigers host a star-studded list of high school seniors who will witness the university's national championship celebration in Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday.
