My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Is this the kid from Oxford?  If so according to the skreets Rivals, Scout and any other recruiting service it will be tough to keep him from flipping.  If the kid from Louisiana commits to LSU then there will be a push for him from bama.  Glad to have him aboard, but will wait until Feb to get excited about him.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Yup, which is why Auburn will also go after RB/ATH Darrell Williams. Different scenarios to look at here:

1. LSU gets Fournette, uat flips Roc, Auburn gets Williams.
2. uat gets Fournette, LSU gets Williams, Auburn keeps Roc
3. uat gets Fournette, LSU gets Williams, uat pays Roc to go "anywhere but Auburn"
4. LSU gets Fournette, uat flips Roc, LSU pays Williams to go "anywhere but Auburn"

At some point, players have to consider depth charts.  Bama signed 4 of the top 50 running backs in america this year.  They already have a sophomore heisman candidate in yeldon.  Why in the hell would you flip to them right now?  DUMB QUESTION?

According to my Bama friend (is there such a thing?) Thomas "don't have an offer anyway.  He's about five down on the list of players they recruitin' but if things don't work out with them other four or five then they may give him a shot."

Yeah, why would they want one of the top RBs in the Country? When it comes to agility, he's the top. He's a Carnell Williams clone, a "Game Changer".

They "didn't want" Carnell either, IIRC?

That's right...they didn't want him, iirc he grew up a bama fan but they didn't show interest, so he committed to UT early on. Then he flipped to Auburn.

Found this in the Seattle Times

Quote
Star football recruit has choice words for ’bama fan

By Dwight Perry /

The Seattle Times

Racean “Roc” Thomas must have one heck of a stiff-arm.

The five-star running-back recruit from Oxford, Ala., got into it with a Crimson Tide football fan on Ask.fm, leading to this online exchange:

Fan: “ROC the right choice for ya is to join the best damn program in the nation!!!! why would you even consider a trash ass school like AW-BARN?!? its a no brainer really.”

Thomas: “I don’t think you get it. I earned the opportunity, the offers, the choices. So I can decide wherever whether its auburn bama or ITT tech! I’m not here to make you or any other fan happy. My goal is to put a smile on my FAMILYS’ face!”
