Title: Trooper Recruiting Against Auburn?
Post by: Townhallsavoy on February 04, 2013, 10:40:30 PM
Ron Sanders, publisher for Auburn Undercover, posted that a big reason why Foster is not going to Auburn is because Trooper Taylor is telling his former targets to go anywhere but Auburn. 

If true, we shouldn't pay him another dime.

Do we owe him money?  Asst. coaches usually don't have multi-year deals with buyouts like HCs or big time coordinators.

Fuck Trooper Taylor.  Maybe if he would have coached up the WR corps then he might have a job.  No sense in Gus keeping someone that couldn't turn a top HS prospect into a serviceable college receiver.

Then if he's doing that, you're right, they need to cut him off due to breach of contract.

Meh whatever.

Word is he's "taking the year off" so I'm sure we'll see shot of him at every home game next year. Granted that 11 a.m. start time may be a little early but I'm sure he'll manage.

Yet he had to do what was best for his daughter. Bullshit. Uprooting your 2 yr old little girl to her third place in a year sounds just peachy. Moving out of one of the best school districts in the state and out of one of the lowest crime, livable towns in the state sounds like the perfect thing for the fam. Fuck that. This WAS all business. His hawking of his daughter and family is pathetic. I'd have more respect for him if he would hVe just not bullshitted everyone during the process.

If we weren't desperate for linebackers, I wouldn't want him at Auburn. 

He reminds me of Isaiah Crowell, Lache Seastrunk, and Seantrell Henderson.  Big time stars with too much drama that would be bad for the team overall.

If all of this was caused by the "n" word, than that bitch needs to go.  And Gus or some coach on the team needs to handle Dismukes.  That no talent ass clown needs to ride the bench anyway.  I'm sure there is someone that can play center who has more heart and talent than him.

That report has been denied and who knows. But think about this. Alvin Kamara just happens to be driving by Auburn from Georgia on his way to Tuscaloosa at the precise time RF decides he's pissed and wants to spend the rest of the wknd in Tuscaloosa. It seems to me that it's either that scenario or Foster had this planned all along, which is now the prevailing thought. He wanted to go party in Tuscaloosa without Moms.

Regardless, I'm tired of having panic attacks over this. Rumor that he may sign with AU. Personally, I hope not.

I don't believe that story for a second.

I believe there was a scuffle due to Reuben being the prima donna that he is and Reese may have hurt his delicate sensibilities.

I believe the N-word accusation was thrown in by a bammer, preying on the lawsuit in which he was alleged to have used the word to lend believability. And it worked.

If he really did that to a 5-star, on a recruiting visit, there is zero chance he's on the team right now. There's zero chance anyone else committed since then, there's zero chance that we didn't lose commitments we already had, and there's zero chance he didn't catch a gigantic ass-whooping from current teammates.

Most recent (and believable) version I've heard is that Foster was getting ready to take off for his pre-planned trip to bama in the middle of the biggest Auburn recruiting weekend of the year, and he was trying to talk some of the other recruits into checking out bama as well.

Dismukes called his bitch-ass out for it, and may or may not have used the n-word in his tirade.  This version of the story could make Reese my new favorite player.

I still don't understand what the allegations are here but even if Trooper is trying to influence kids away from AU (and I agree it would be childish) and even though it's a back-stabbing bastard that would do this while on our dole--it would likely never be proven or interest the NCAA. IF there is some good evidence, then surely it breaks some kind of NCAA rule.

Shouldn't there be some sort of clause in the contract that nullifies payment in the event shit like this goes down? If it is proven to have happened, Auburn shouldn't pay this towel waving prick one red cent from here on out.

Continuing to recruit or having contact with a recruit after being fired from a university and still under contract, could be a contract violation. Gag clause.

Don't get me wrong but there could more at work here than just Trooper's recruiting dis, especially, if he goes to work for SPUAT. How much does he know about CGM offense? Were any recruiting abnormalities that the little "west vance" fucker could try use against us? Troop would be in the know on some of these issues. I'm just looking at the big picture because I'm such the conspiracy nut and all.
