Seen people everywhere saying "be classy" and "react to his decision like an Auburn man/woman and wish him well no matter what his decision."
Well you know what? At no point during his recruitment (at least the vast expanse of it to which the public was made aware) did Rashaan Evans or his father behave like Auburn men.
For that reason I'm glad he's gone. No matter his talent, he's the sort of person I don't want on a team I support. I honestly don't care if he's the next Lawrence Dick Taylor Butkus, if he wins five straight Lombardi Awards, six Heismans and the $5000 bonus round on Match Game 75. I'd rather be a solid program that has the potential for greatness than a so-called dynasty if having people who handle things in the manner Evans and his family did is the price you have to pay to get there.
I was disgusted by the continual attention-whoring by his father, appalled at the "dance fo yo dinner" antics at his grandfather's party and completely put off by the disingenuous behavior of the last few days.
It was a direct slap in the face to potential future teammates to personally invite two Auburn signees to his signing ceremony and then turn his back on the college they chose. What purpose was there to having them attend if not to shove his selfish whore act in their faces?
It is the act of a coward and a liar to call the coaches of one program and tell them you decided to sign with them and then do something different when the cameras are on.
I don't care how much better Alabama may be on the field with Evans there, Auburn is better off without someone like that around.
Those who know me will confirm that I have been against signing this puffed up wad of hyperbole since early January. I don't want cancer. Rashaan himself may be a decent kid, but the dad is a cancer. Apples don't fall too far from trees.
Our rivals will mock the "didn't want him anyway" nature of this commentary, but the fact remains that I'm grateful this particular lying turd went where he belongs.
