This was a pinned note on the various Rivals boards this morning:
Friday Morning Note... Reply
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to an enormous amount of additional information AuburnSports.com has received in the last 24 hours, we are not planning any updates today as we sort through the details. Also, I will not be conducting any interviews including the one previously scheduled with WNSP in Mobile.
We firmly stand behind our sources on this, and want to thank our members for your understanding and patience as this story continues to develop.

This is one of two things:
1. He's been warned, threatened enough to back down until he has more.
or..
2. Coming out with this story has prompted a few involved to bring their details to someone actually willing to pursue the story.
WNSP, where Lee was supposed to give an additional interview is claiming they haven't received any return calls or texts this morning. J. Lee posted the pinned note well before the interview, so claiming they don't know might show them as to being the ignorant party on that issue.
Today, or the next few days should be very interesting.

Yesterday Fbomb metered his words about Lee, but did say in general he wasn't a yellow journalist.
Read the idiot forums and they all talk like he's as bad as they come.
To be honest, I don't know one way or the other.

I'm glad UA compliance is investigating this, and I would hope they call in the NCAA as well. I'm sure they will at least report their findings to the NCAA and let them see if it passes the smell test. If Jeff Lee is talking out of his ass, I want to know. If a recruit received a car from somebody for signing with UA, I want that to be known as well.

Holy-moly that is some news.

IMO, J.Lee is giving two papers the weekend to get their story out there. The two papers had this information a few days after signing day. And, I think J.Lee realized that they story wasn't going to be written, unless he kick started it. Again, that's just my opinion from info gathered from my skreets.

Also n a related note they have finally gotten it through their thick skulls that they are being monitored.

You are correct. This Chump guy thinks he is a PI though, and they know people. What a fucktard. He gets ignored by his own people. These scumbags don't even have a clue what is really going on. Their heads are so far up each others ass. If they only knew.

I hope you're right. The longer JLee "holds on to" this shit, the more he looks like Scott Moore. If he has something, he needs to put it out there.

I agree, its a precedent that has already been set. The difference b/w the two right now though is the big time difference. Moore had been holding on to his so called info for a couple of weeks. The thing about J Lee is the info he is claiming is stuff that several had been told through email a couple days before NSD when Calloway was still "committed" to Auburn. J Lee was given this information by other people/person. I'm not going to pretend I know the specifics though, but I certainly think J Lee was given the task to release this due to the fact he works for Rivals and not the Birmingham News.

Other schools have rivals...Auburn has stalkers.

new J Lee article.
http://www.auburn.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1210555
Allegations raised by AuburnSports.com Thursday regarding improprieties in the recruitment of Brent Calloway brought to light the actions of an Alabama "supporter", who TideSports.com later identified as Darren Woodruff.
Woodruff allegedly took Calloway, a star player at Russellville (Ala.) High School, to Pensacola, Fla. for two nights following an official visit to Alabama the weekend of Jan. 28-30.
AuburnSports.com
Rivals.com rated Calloway the No. 5 inside linebacker in 2011.
According to Woodruff's long time friend John Stancil, Woodruff picked Calloway up in Tuscaloosa on Sunday (Jan. 30) and drove the top recruit to Florida before returning to Russellville Tuesday night, the night before National Signing Day.
Stancil said Woodruff claims he took Calloway to Florida at the request of Calloway's adoptive father Harland "Peaches" Winston. Woodruff, who Stancil considers a "big Alabama fan", is the president of Petro Chemical Energy in Muscle Shoals.
According to Stancil, Woodruff rented a two-room suite in Pensacola where Woodruff and Calloway spent Sunday and Monday nights. Woodruff told Stancil about the trip during a phone conversation.
"(Woodruff) told me Peaches asked him to take Brent out of town ? that Brent needed to go somewhere to think about stuff," said Stancil. "He took Brent down there (to Pensacola) and brought him back to Peaches' house Tuesday night."
Calloway signed with Alabama the following morning, Feb. 2.
Woodruff told TideSports.com Saturday that he had a relationship with Calloway since Calloway's ninth-grade year at Russellville. Calloway transferred to Russellville from Florence High that year.
"Listen, I'm a Brent Calloway fan," Woodruff told TideSports.com. "I don't care where he goes to school. I just want him to get an education. I told him when he originally committed to Alabama, 'I'm happy for you. I hope you made the right choice.' When he switched to Auburn I said, 'I'm happy for you. I hope you made the right choice.'
Peaches, Calloway and Woodruff after Calloway accepted an invitation to play in the 2011 U.S. Army All-America Bowl.
"Wherever Brent was going to school, I was going to watch him play. I just want him to be happy."
According to Stancil, Woodruff drove Calloway to Alabama for "nearly all of the home games" during Calloway's junior year. Woodruff did not take Calloway on any other visits besides ones to Alabama, Stancil said.
In an extremely efficient investigation, the University of Alabama's compliance department, within 36 hours after the allegations were first made public Thursday, found no violations in Calloway's recruitment, reported TideSports.com.
Calloway initially committed to Alabama in June 2009, but switched his commitment to Auburn at the U.S. Army All-America Bowl in January 2011. Calloway remained firmly committed to Auburn until the occurrences leading up to signing day.
"I haven't second guessed myself at all since I made my decision," Calloway said in a story published Jan. 28 on AuburnSports.com regarding his switch to the Tigers. "I have no doubts. I'm totally comfortable with it."
Calloway's comments about his decision to sign with Auburn were made days after he took an official visit to Auburn and two days before his visit to Alabama. At the time of his comments, Calloway did not plan to visit Alabama. Instead, a return trip to Auburn had been scheduled.
Calloway did not decide to visit Alabama until Friday, according to Calloway's high school coach Doug Goodwin. Goodwin said Calloway told Alabama recruiter/coach Jeremy Pruitt that Thursday that he was declining an official visit to Tuscaloosa that weekend and would instead return to Auburn for an unofficial visit.
Calloway committed to Auburn during the 2011 U.S. Army All-America Bowl.
Goodwin, now head coach at Homewood, said Pruitt approached him during the Alabama Football Coaches Association convention, held at Embassy Suites in Montgomery Jan. 27-29, and requested to talk to Calloway.
"He walked up to me and wanted to know if Brent wanted to come to Alabama that weekend," said Goodwin. "I told him, 'Coach, Brent told me he didn't want to come.' But Pruitt told me he wanted to hear it from Brent."
Goodwin said he agreed to meet Pruitt in the hotel lobby at 2:30 Thursday afternoon.
"I met him and got Brent on the phone," said Goodwin. "I said, 'Brent, Coach Pruitt wants to talk to you and he wants you to tell him how you feel.'
"(Pruitt) gets on the phone with Brent and says, 'Brent, we want you to come to Tuscaloosa this weekend.' Brent said, 'Coach, I don't want to come. I'm going to Auburn.' Pruitt said, 'Are you sure?' Brent said, 'I'm sure.'"
According to Goodwin, Pruitt then asked if Calloway would tell Alabama coach Nick Saban.
"Pruitt told Brent, 'Coach Saban is on a flight right now, but it will land soon. I'm going to call you back and I want you to tell Coach Saban the same thing you told me so he won't chew me out and will know that I did my job," said Goodwin. "Brent said, 'Okay.'"
Approximately an hour later, Goodwin said Calloway had informed Saban.
"Brent said he had talked to Saban and told him that he wasn't coming," said Goodwin. "Brent said, 'He tried to talk me into it, but I told him I wasn't going.'
"About 11:30 that night, Brent texted me back saying, 'Coach, I gotta go (to Alabama this weekend). My daddy (Peaches) is making me go, but I'm not changing my mind. I am 100-percent sure (about signing with Auburn).'"
Goodwin said that was the last time he was able to contact Calloway before signing day.
Calloway did not attend school the following Monday or Tuesday because, according to Stancil, he was in Pensacola with Woodruff. Russellville principal Tim Guinn excused Calloway from school.
Goodwin said he tried to contact Calloway Monday night, but was unsuccessful.
"Brent doesn't show up for the basketball game Monday night so I called Peaches and asked him where Brent was, why he wasn't at school or the basketball game," said Goodwin. "Peaches said, 'Coach, he's in his room, locked up in his room and won't talk to nobody.'
"I said, 'Will you just tell him to call me because I want to talk to him and make sure he is okay' and Peaches said, 'Coach, I'll tell him, but I don't know if he will call.'"
The next time Goodwin spoke to Calloway was Wednesday morning. Calloway arrived at Russellville High with several family members by his side and announced that he had decided to sign with Alabama. Calloway had already signed his National Letter of Intent before arriving at Russellville for the signing ceremony.
"It was the first time in 27 years that I didn't fax in the scholarship papers for one of my players," said Goodwin.
Calloway's decision to sign with Alabama came less than a month after his commitment to Auburn. Calloway announced on national television during the U.S. Army All-America Bowl Jan. 8 that he was switching his commitment from the Tide to the Tigers. He said then that his projected position at Auburn, running back, was one of the many factors in his switch.
"I just weighed out my options and I feel more comfortable," Calloway told Rivals.com while in San Antonio, Texas for the All-America Bowl. "I felt more comfortable running the ball and I looked at the depth, I looked at all the aspects you're supposed to look as an athlete going to a college and to make a life decision for four years.
"After I weighed out everything, it was Auburn. It feels right for me. I haven't second guessed it. It just feels like something I needed to do."
Rivals.com rated Calloway the top prospect from Alabama and the No. 38 prospect in the country.
Calloway's commitment to Auburn during the All-America Bowl was not well received by several members of Calloway's family, Woodruff told Stancil.
"Peaches, his wife, Brent's mother, his grandmother and his aunt were there," said Stancil. "(Woodruff) said you didn't see it on T.V., but they all got into it on the sidelines because Brent was decommitting from Alabama and committing to Auburn.
"His mother was not happy and neither was Peaches. Brent told his mother right before he made the announcement that he wasn't doing it for her; he was doing it for himself."
According to a story in The Birmingham News days after the announcement, Peaches did not agree with Calloway's actions.
"I'm from the old school," Peaches told The News. "When you shake a man's hand, look him in the eye and make a commitment, you stick to that commitment. I respect him and I'm going to root for him. But I don't think he handled it the right way."
In the same interview, Peaches said he liked Alabama coaches' business-like approach.
"They stick to business," he said. "You don't see their coaches high-fiving."
According to Goodwin, Calloway knew before committing to Auburn that Peaches might not be in full support of his decision.
"Brent told me Thursday night when I got to Texas (for the All-America Bowl) that he was going to decommit from Alabama and announce he was going to Auburn," said Goodwin. "I said, 'Are you sure?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Have you told the Alabama coaches?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Well, you need to call (then-Alabama recruiting coordinator Curt) Cignetti and tell him before he sees it on T.V.'
"I then asked him, 'What about your dad? Have you told Peaches?' He said, 'I've told him, but he won't listen to me. He's telling me that I'm going to mess everything up, that I can't do it, that I can't go to Auburn.'"
Three weeks later, after the trip to Pensacola with Woodruff, Calloway didn't. He instead signed with Alabama.

Peaches had Brent secreted away so he wouldn't mess all that up. Seems to have worked. I'm certain Peaches wanted him at Bammer so badly because their coaches don't "high five". That has to be it.

Current and former players provide the blow. It's covered up unless it's just ridiculous and you need a player to disappear so people will stop talking about him -- Jimmy Johns.
Cash was promised and will be paid by roommates and walkons. Your kind funnels cash in various ways. Not direct any longer. It's laundered through a few steps before it gets where it's intended. But don't worry, trails are still left.
Car was yanked, will show back up later.
It was on the Internet. It's all true (and two of those things above definitely are you figure out which).

I still didn't see anything in there that qualifies as substantial proof Alabama cheated.
At most, Calloway may be heavily investigated, but unless Woodruff chained him to a bed in Florida and ass fucked him until he signed the LOI to Bama, nothing will come of this. '

Just a test drive of a rental of a loaned car for prom before their graduation party and a summer beach trip before some football camp he had to attend.
But it didn't ride too well, so they returned it early.
It's obvious. Dirty shit went into the toilet bowl. And Bammer flushed it down without one streak on the rim.

I agree with you...but I just thought of this...
The biggest thing is this...if Woodruf is going to be considered a "booster". If so, it is pure FACT that he took BC to Tuscaloosa several times. That is a big time no-no. So regardless if money changed hands...if Woodruf helped recruit BC by giving him rides to T-town...they are fucked...

Per J. Lee:
Thanks for your patience over the last few days. Please find my first article on Brent Calloway's recruitment at the link below. Please note that at this time I will not be commenting on the article or any other details surrounding this issue as I continue to work on my next story.
haha...he said "first" and "next"...
This may not go away so easily...

Per J. Lee:

That is the rumor going around. JLee has a lot, and he's going to slowly leak it until people can't help but take care of it.
I just hope JLee has given the info over to someone else. And I also hope JLee has disappeared from the state of Alabama.
I just can't get my hopes up. For one, I don't believe it will come to fruition.
Two, I, being an old-fashioned honest Joe, truly believe college football is better if no one is on probation. If Bama is the only school cheating and they're inhibiting Auburn from competing at the highest level, that's another thing.

After the relentless attacks over the last six months, many that have been tied back to their lies?
They're doing their best to inhibit while they cheat.
Not working, but they're trying.

Woodruff "loaned" him the car. Woodruff said that "he" returned the car because it rode rough at high speeds. So, Brent actually returned the car back to Woodruff who returned it back to the dealership? I wonder if Woodruff put Brent's name down as a driver for the car?
-
I agree with the respected one...
I agree too...with what he posted. Questions arise about Peaches saying he was going to "mess things up". And both he and his mom basically having the kid secreted away and strong armed in to going to bammer.
I don't ever want to hear another fucking word about Cecil Newton making the decision for Cam. He didn't have him kidnapped to prevent him from going to State. As much as he was going to be paid he had ever right.
-
Couple things...
1. Why does anyone put a car they're merely test driving on their FB page, then leave it there after it's returned if they didn't like the way it drove on the highway?
2. Why do you tell people (at first) that it was your own car, then now say you were only test driving it?
3. Why delete only those pics from your FB page, if there is no reason to have anything hidden from view?
4. How do you get the Alabama sideline lanyard as a nobody associated with anyone, pictured in the "Ole Miss" photo from FB?
(http://i51.tinypic.com/eaf81y.jpg)
5. If you got that lanyard from saying you're a coach at Russelville, how is that NOT a violation by lying?
6. Why would Goodwin come out and say anything about this if he didn't feel there was something bad happening? What does he have to gain in all of this by saying anything?
7. Where is Cignetti (sp?) now?
8. How is this NOT an issue for Alabama if they've clearly stated THEY HAVE investigated Woodruff and found nothing wrong in the span of roughly 36 hours? Did their compliance office REALLY investigate?
There is a shitload of questions... This is going to be nasty... Does that GUARANTEE anything is going to happen? No, but it's clear they've broken three bags of flower in aisle nine, and the pee-pee kid is having trouble holding his bladder around it.

Okay... I've gotten a little clarification on the lanyard...
It's a pass they give out to ANY visitor associated with a recruit on an official OR unofficial visit. It wouldn't matter what he said he was, or who he was. The only thing that lanyard means is that he got a free ticket to a game while escorting a recruit to Alabama (obviously Calloway).
Probably a non-issue, other than it ties him to giving a recruit a ride there and back.
