Heard this from Bill Cameron yesterday on SportsCall. Not good.

It's rumored to be bad for Trooper and Auburn per 2 radio talk show hosts Matt Murphy from B'ham and  Dale Jackson from Huntsville.

I just find this hard to believe.  You cannot put yourself on the skyline recruiting top players and be outright crooked in doing it. 

Reminds of all the shit that was swirling around Rodney Gardner a few years back.

Brown Bag Man has been at it since the Tot days.

I agree but when Charles Robinson is about to break the story some shit is going down.

I'm just sayin' that they are gonna have to show me something.  We have all endured too much of this shit over the last few years for me to get excited over it without some pretty hard & tangible evidence.

Agreed. Otherwise this is just someone who has shit in their hand and is now starting to clap.

Agree, but if Charles Robinson is on this, then that worries me. He's very diligent. But from Jumbo's tweet post, I am not sure if that meant Charles Robinson was writing it or that it was just about Jovon Robinson. If C. Robinson is one of the journalists involved, that is a little more than I want to hear. He's not Scott Moore or Thayer Evans.

As stated already...Show me the proof and then I will be concerned.  Until then, zero.

So forgive my ignorance, because I've only heard that there *is* something going down.. but what's the story? Is the new rumor that someone paid somebody to fudge Jovon Robinson's transcript or something??

READ MORE: Jovon Robinson (RB - Auburn)

Rumors have swirled for more than a week now that multiple media outlets are actively investigating a potential dirty recruiting story in Memphis about the transcript scandal involving Jovon Robinson and Auburn. Tuesday morning, Memphis Commercial Appeal columnist Geoff Calkins confirmed those rumors.

Robinson is the Memphis running back who was admitted to Auburn and then subsequently ruled ineligible after it was found that his transcripts were falsified by a guidance counselor.

The question, of course, then became one of Auburn's involvement, if any.

And with many media outlets in town, there is a worry that one outlet will run the story before it has all the facts, causing the key figures in the story to clam up before saying all they have to say to the other outlets still working the story.

Memphis has a reputation as a dirty recruiting area. Fans of Arkansas, Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee all regularly accuse the others of buying players from the area. And Alabama was caught doing so in the Albert Means case.

What's the word on tha Skreets?

Again, depends on which Robinson they were talking about. Ive never known C. Rob to do shitty journalism. So it would make me worry moreso if he was on this story. But I almost think the Robinson in the tweet simply meant Jovon which we already know.

[GH2001]

I'm not buying it until I see a legit journalist stand by it.

[Buzz Killington]

Sources say that it might be true.

Sources also say that Nick Saban might be 6 feet tall.

[djsimp]

I'm gonna be honest, I kind of get an eerie feeling about this.

[Townhallsavoy]

Pardon me, but where the hell does it say that Charles Robinson is working on the story?

And I don't buy it.  If anything, it points to Ole Miss being implicated in the Jovon Robinson story.  The counselor responsible was from Ole Miss, and the date of the grade change was before Auburn was involved with Jovon and when Ole Miss was pressing hard for him.

Supposedly there was a car purchased, but Robinson's family got a lot of money after his father died, so that angle is dead.  Then, there's the supposed kidnapping where Robinson went to Auburn and didn't tell his mother, so she called the police. 

If that's illegal, then Alabama'll be getting the death penalty for all the kids they've kidnapped to Pensacola before signing day. 

I'm not worried.  Not one person reporting any of this makes me squirm.  Finebaum let Danny Sheridan spew his bullshit for months, and absolutely nothing came of it. 

Fuck the haters.  They can't handle when we just lose.  They want us to be SMU so bad, they'll murder their own children in order to make it happen.

If there is a historical precedent on this.. if we were to go on probation, we'd have a perfect season and our coaching woes would go away. I call it "the Terry Bowden bender"

I have a feeling that if there were some meat to it.. something more substantial would've leaked by now especially in regards to previous recruits

I hope this is correct. Maybe this feeling is only the nasty ass Sausage McFuckin I ate this morning.
