Yup, figured that he would.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TEENAGERS

Isn't this the eve of the dead period?
So our coaches can't even contact him?
HAHAHAHHAHAHA ALABAMA STRATEGY.

LOL, it's the same thing as taking him to Pensacola, Fl. "to get away".
I'm sure there will be a meltdown of epic proportion on the recruiting sites.

Supposedly, the rumor started by the message board insiders (who I guess had no clue that he would switch) is that $200k went to an uncle.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA RUMORS.

Brent Calloway sure has a nice new camaro. That IS Brent Calloway, isn't it?

Don't be surprised if Joshua Holsey and JaQuay Williams follow suit. Holsey (uat) & Williams (UGA).

We want to run it and my guess is Yeldon wants to be a feature back in an established process over the unknown. They only need point to our OC list.

That's not Brent, nor is it TJ... That's some kid that's committed to Clemson.

Here's an idea.
POINT TO THEIRS.
Why is it a lock that their OC will come in and continue to do wonders?
It's not like Saban has always had dominant offenses. LSU had a few but he also had down years. 2007 Alabama was full of bone head calls and piss poor planning.
McElwain didn't get enough credit.

Agree but it's the Bammer machine at play.

Agree but it's the Bammer machine at play.
I'm not sure but maybe it's because you know Alabama's going to continue to run the exact same offense, and maybe some of these kids don't know what AU might do?
I could see Chizik go to more of a pro set, but that's only a thought.
Just have to wait and see.

Fuck you.
There is more to it than that and you know it.
To switch commitments at the start of the dead period before enrolling in January after telling Chizik that he is solid on Thursday???? Bullshit. Something stinks. As it did with the other 2 5* recruits that "switched" last year..
-
I vowed last year I'm not going to freak out with every recruit we lose. I'm also not jumping in the cash or car crowd for the kid that didn't come to Auburn, we lost another recruit to Bama who gives a fuck....if they want to go somewhere else let them.

I vowed last year to stop following recruiting all together. I have for the most part. I couldn't tell you anything about our recruits except that Zeke Pike is a highly rated quarterback who had Twitter issues and that TJ Yeldon is a lifetime Auburn fan who has the ability and potential to come in immediately and be the main tailback if Dyer doesn't come back.

Yep. If it was happening the other way around, bammers would be screaming for an NCAA investigation.
-
Let's look at both sides of the coin here.
Bama has ran basically the same offense since lord saybinz arrived. That offense has produced one Heisman RB, and another RB that was a Heisman finalist. They are going to pound the football in every game they play. The depth chart? Sure it is stacked with talent, but there are those that aren't scared of a challenge and fully believe that they can win their own playing time.
Auburn doesn't have an OC, and every name you hear thrown out seems to be from a pass happy background. AU's best offensive weapon wasn't given the chance to shine this year for whatever reason.
Hell I could've swayed Yeldon to bama. The longer we go without an OC and DC announcement, the more big recruits we lose.
-
I agree for the most part.
Maybe I haven't read enough about Yeldon, but from I have read, he wasn't coming to Auburn specifically for the offense. He's an Auburn guy and a big fan of Gene Chizik. His family despised Saban and didn't want him going to Alabama. Yeldon repeatedly (and as recently as four days ago) reaffirmed his strong commitment to Auburn. He claimed to have reassured Chizik that he had nothing to worry about. JHoke consistently stated over the last few months that Yeldon was the least recruit to worry about because the guy loved Auburn.
And then bam. A few hours before the dead period, he's gone.
If this had been a five star recruit leaning towards Auburn but still checking out other schools, I'd just feel a bit let down about losing a recruit. But this guy was supposed to be an anchor for this recruiting class and he was swiped away by what?
By the fact that Alabama has a stable of running backs that get to run the ball every play? I mean, I get the allure, but is that new information?
And does anyone really think we're going to go to a pass happy offense?

Let's say it was just that...
Why do you notify the coaches by a statement from your high school coach?
Why do you do this on the day that the coaches are no longer allowed to call you?
If you have such respect for Auburn and the coaches, why leave them at the very last minute?
Bullshit on the excuses. This shit stinks. Just like the last 2 5* recruits...

THIS guy ^^^ gets it.
Dude basically lied to a guy he claimed he had utmost respect for, 2 days before he decommits? You are telling me he was SO SOLID on Thursday but then Sunday something had changed? BS. He didn't know Bama was "the best fit for him" until the last minute? What the fuck ever. This is fishy.
-
Add to that, AU has had a 1000+ yard rusher the last 3 seasons with a guy who everyone perceives to run a wide open, spread offense.

The thing is...he never decommitted. It went from 100% Auburn to 100% Alabama in one morning??? Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Before Dyer got in all of his mess, he was considered to be a Top 10 Heisman watch player for next year. Yeah, Auburn def does nothing with running backs. Tailback U....Pfffffftttt!!
-
I have to agree with the fact this is smelling of the fish stank but I'm numb to this. If there is a way for my voice to be heard in making a difference then I'm down, other than that last years Callaway and Kujo shit has made me care a lot less.
There is some serious consideration to be taken in a young mans character if he does something like this. I can't help but think some "negotiations" went on to get the switch but even more than that this kid lied and now is hiding behind NCAA rules. He is a pussy.
-

You're right. He was never neutral. Which makes it even worse.
Only thing we can hope for is that he is pulling some double cross bullshit on Bama. Longshot indeed.

That actually crossed my mind too but like you, I doubt it. I don't think our coaches are down for playing games like that. This is an 17/18 yr old kid that has made a decision and doesn't want to stand up for it. One would have to be naive to think Saban didn't have his greasy little hand in the middle of this though.

From what I heard about the kid, he was coming for Malzahn's offense, and he didn't enjoy the recruiting process. Not everybody likes to have to tell someone no. The kid is a bit afraid of confrontation I guess, and he did this at this time so Chizik wouldn't be bothering him for a while. He didn't want to be put under pressure.
I still think that the rash of these sudden changes is a "where there's smoke, there's fire" kind of deal. I know for a fact if 5 star croots were changing last minute from bammer to Auburn, we'd be hearing just that and looking for a bag man.

Well then, aint he just a big pussy?
Yep - Uncle Miltie, Slot machines, Lowder, bags of cash - the whole works.

You headed towards the "we didn't want him anyway" routine?
-
The switches at the last minute usually don't bother me, but this has left me speechless. I watched the Alabama V Miss Allstar game and I was licking my chops. I even got my wife excited about him coming. His team mate that is going to UAT probably had a lot of sway in his decision. My only hope is that Corey Grant ends up being the stud that we stole away.
-

I know I'm not. I wanted this kid bad and with Dyer's status in total limbo, I reeeeaaally wanted him. This is just complete BS. The article I read this morning said nothing about coordinators or problems at AU....just suddenly, Bama is "the right place for me and my family." He didn't switch to Bama in 24-48 hours. He was telling our coaches and anyone who would listen just last week that he was enrolling in January at AU. That makes him part of a "punking" of AU in my book. Choke on a dick and die, bitch.

I'm thinking the Blakely kid might be better.

Especially seeing as how he gave Chiz his word and was fully SOLID to us3 days ago. Just fucking bullshit. That shows me a lot about his character.

If you're implying that the HS coach was paid to sway him, that's one thing. But if you're saying his coach helped to flip him because he was an Alabama fan? I know for 100% certainty the ONLY reason Carnell Williams considered Auburn is because of Etowah's offensive coordinator at the time. Carnell wasn't going to Bama (after being a fan) because of a poor decision by the administration, but he was 100% solid to Tennessee. Tuberville did a damn good job recruiting Carnell, but he only had the opportunity because of a high school coach.
That shit goes both ways.

Did Carnell committ to you, remain solid and tell your coach he was solid up until 3 days before he switched to your rival? And right before the dead period?
-
And for the record, recruiting has turned into one of the dirtiest things I've ever heard of. I quit paying attention 3 years ago, because it is bullshit.
Auburn fans are pissed at the switch because there appears to be some shady bullshit going on, and Alabama fans are worried that Yeldon is going to enroll at Auburn anyway and only made a public switch to Alabama so he can say "fuck you" in a few weeks.
It's a fucking joke.

It would be funny as fuck if he just up and enrolled at Auburn in Jan. You can damn well bet that the airwaves would be full of bammer's crying foul too.

I'm not a Tennessee fan so that wouldn't apply even if that was my argument, which it's not. I'm saying one of the best athletes I've ever been around attended Auburn because one of his coaches was pushing him that way. It happens all the time and there's no way to keep it out of recruiting.
-

And that's what I'm saying. The Auburn fans who are ready to kill the kid today would blow his twitter page up with comments about how awesome he is, while the Alabama fans who would suck his dick right now would be sending him death threats.
The amount of pressure/attention put on 18 year old kids is beyond ridiculous.

If that happened, I would think that's a juvenile, unfunny joke and would think less of him for it. He would be toying with 2 rabid fan bases. Not funny for either side.
-
Some think it's Chizik that is doing the toying and not Yeldon.
I don't see Chizik pulling that stunt though. I honestly don't think that's what Calloway and CK did last year.

The only reason why I would see Chizik doing this would be because of something he knows that happened during the Cam bizz last year of which Saban had his hand in. Still though, I really have a hard time seeing Chizik doing this. Maybe Yeldon really likes his Charger.
-
I've said several times already, if he was a participant in playing a school, in essence, punking that school...he can continue to choke on a dick the size of Titan Tiger's e-penis. Even the worn out hat switch thing is pathetic. Yeah, I love it when a player chooses AU because I'm not worried about the kid singing in the choir or teaching Sunday school. I want someone who can keek the touchdowns. But playing around and psyching fans out is shitty. And in this instance, no way he changed his mind on a decision this big in a 1-2 day span. Telling one coach I'm 100% and then 48 hours later, you're enrolling in the rival school without even a phone call is all Todd Graham.
By the way, speaking of Graham, I'm driving around Saturday listening to Yahoo Sports Radio. The host has ole Jim Ross, long time WWE announcer on because the host likes to do a segment on it. Ross is a big football fan OU Sooner guy so the host asks him what he thinks about Todd Graham leaving Pitt the way he did. Ross' take went like this...
You know when you go to the bathroom and take a crap, and you flush but it all doesn't go down and you have to flush again? Well, that...fecal matter that comes floating back up...that's Todd Graham...but that may be an insult to fesces." I was rolling.

Dawson called in to defend Sabinz on this issue this morning. He removed Sabinz cock from his mouth long enough to say "when a kid verbally commits, then takes a visit to another school, he's not REALLY committed, so Sabinz is ok on this".

I think everyone on this site and many others knows some shady shit had been going down for a while but what is that or what has that done?

You guys thought it was funny as shit when Spencer Regions flipped straight up out of the blue. It was hilarious when Cyrus chose UA. Not so much when somebody flips on AU. Same shit happens with our fanbase. It's cool when somebody flips to UA, but not when they choose somebody else. You guys always look at it as there must have been something shady to go on for a guy to switch to UA, but it's never shady at all when somebody flips to AU. No, it was an educated decision and proves AU has the best recruiters in the world.
It's all about how you want to look at it, and which side of the fence you're on. Honestly, I don't give a fuck either way. I haven't seen the first highlight of Yeldon's. Just funny to see the butthurt from both sides when a guy flips from one to another.
-
Bad examples.
This isn't so much about the flip as it is the circumstances surrounding it.
Spencer Regions? Well for one, he turned out to be a total dumbass loser. But before we found that out, it was very early in the recruiting season and the only reason why it got publicity from Auburn fans was because it was literally the first recruit we took from Saban in two years.
Cyrus K was undecided before committing to Auburn. He committed to Auburn first. He committed to Auburn on national television. He was supposed to say, "I want to go to Auburn" and then sign the papers. He didn't. Who knows why. But instead of doing like everyone else, he didn't sign the papers. Then he flipped to Alabama.
Brent Calloway - again - flipped early in the recruiting season. Then he's whisked away to Pensacola when he decides to flip back.
How is Yeldon different? Long time Auburn commit. Long time Auburn fan. Family is reported to dislike Saban. Alabama already has a stable of running backs. Auburn does not. Auburn - like Alabama - has produced a thousand yard rusher three years straight. We have the starting position wide open.
And he flips a few hours before the coaches can no longer call him.
Completely different from the other three examples.
-
If the rumors of him avoiding confrontation are true, he picked the perfect time to switch before the dead period. Noone can talk to him about it. As far as this being a ploy by Chizik I could only hope.

Chiz (or other coach) can still call him. I think once a week. Just on in person visit.

Thanks for typing that for me so I wont have to. If rws can't see the difference in this and those other examples then he probably should stick to licking goat snatch.

Justin Hokanson put on Twitter that there can be no contact between the Yeldon and the coaches until December 21st and then it's a quiet period where only one phone call can be made.
I'm not sure on the home visits, but he did say, "It's going to be difficult to get an on-campus visit if the coaches can't get face time with him."

I was going by what some crootin' guru said. I don't know all the details. But, yeah, I would think he's lost for good. You can't hard sell over the phone.

I was focusing more so on the flip than the situations surrounding the flip. I just think it's amusing how both sides get so bent out of shape over this shit. I could give a shit less if this kid flips back to AU tomorrow. I've just started to care less and less about recruiting. I honestly couldn't tell you one UA or AU commit off the top of my head, other than Yeldon. And I know about Yeldon only because I live 30 minutes away from Daphne.
Anytime a kid flips, no matter to what side, it's always OMG DEM AUBZ/BAMMERS DEY CHEATED!!1! Everybody looks at these situations as the other side did something shady, and there is no way that one of their own coaches could have possibly fucked something up. Nobody looks at it like these are 17 year old kids who don't know their ass from their elbow in the grand scheme of life.

I was focusing more so on the flip than the situations surrounding the flip. I just think it's amusing how both sides get so bent out of shape over this shit. I could give a shit less if this kid flips back to AU tomorrow. I've just started to care less and less about recruiting. I honestly couldn't tell you one UA or AU commit off the top of my head, other than Yeldon. And I know about Yeldon only because I live 30 minutes away from Daphne.

If you had read the entire thread you would have seen that the flipping of a kid doesn't bother us in itself. It was the nature of it and the conditions surrounding it, in this case. The guy LIED to our Head Coach 2 days before he switched. Are you telling me he figured out Bama was the "place for him and his family" in those 48 hours? That's a huge swing in 2 days. Choosing where you go to college is a huge life decision, and not something I personally would do a 180 on in 2 days. And to announce it just hours before the "dead period" started. Please tell me you don't think this is all kosher.
Something tells me your staff is trying to pull the same bullshit with Winston and FSU.

An alternative way of looking at it:
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe AU's staff has been so high pressure, that the kid felt that this was the best way to handle it? No, I don't think he changed his mind in those 48 hours. Yes, I think he lied when he made his comments that he was solid. Yes, I think the whole thing is pretty weird. But like I said, you guys refuse to even consider that maybe AU did something to piss the kid off, or that he knew he wanted to switch before but if he made it public, AU coaches would be blowing his shit up.
This kid could have gone damn near anywhere he wanted. It's not like Alabama had to hold a gun to his head and make him comply with some sort of terms for him to be able to commit. If anything, Yeldon would be naming the conditions of how this was going to happen. Maybe you guys should look on your own side of the fence before you're so quick to jump to conclusions.

You're trying too hard to play devil's advocate instead of putting on some objective glasses.
If the same situation happened to Arkansas and Georgia, I would be saying the same thing.
-
Nope. This shit stinks, plain and simple. Butthurt over losing a recruit? A little. It's happened 1000 times before. But the Kujo, Calloway and now Yeldon situations are just becoming too much to not say there's some underhanded shit going on.

Most had conceded both Cyrus and Calloway to Alabama in the first place. Especially Cyrus. Fuck, you guys can have Calloway back at this point. They were heavy leans. While a heavy lean still isn't a commitment, and neither of them said they were solid to one team or the other 48 hours before changing, you get the point. You didn't bat an eye when those guys all of a sudden out of the blue ended up as AU commits. Didn't wonder how that could happen, and you didn't care. Why can't it be AU that is doing something wrong that swayed them in the first place? Why can't it be AU that created the situation? I mean, shit, if Alabama is paying every recruit or giving them cars or whatever, then I don't know how the hell they ever lose a recruit. Same with AU. Certainly AU would turn them in for it. If you guys were paying kids, every 5 star in the country would be lining up to commit. Alabama would turn them in for it.

Lifelong Auburn fan.
SOLID to Auburn the entire time.
SOLID to Auburn even after Malzahn leaves.
TOLD Coach Chizik that numerous times in the past and on Thursday last week.
Mysteriously switches 48 hours later.
Dead period starts.
NOTHING suspicious about that at all. Quick fucking bringing Cyrus and Calloway into the argument to compare. The timing of the Yeldon switch escapes you for some reason. You are telling me he is SOLID the whole time, tells Chizik that Thursday and then 2 days later has a change of heart hours before the midnight dead period starts? I don't buy it. Either he's a looney tune or he was Bama all along which is dirty as shit to lead Auburn on that way, and makes him a HUGE liar. I've never seen something like this go down in this fashion. Calloway was the closest when he was kidnapped and taken to a Florida hotel in February.
-
Did we ever get an explanation on that trip and sequestering of Mr. Calloway?
Cyrus: "I'm going to Auburn. Where do I sign? Wait, what? Oh...unless I'm not."

And I've already said I think he was lying, and gave a reason why I think he was lying about it. I agree that if he felt different, he should have said so, and shouldn't have led anybody on. I'm not failing to understand the timing at all. It simply boils down to you think he changed right before the dead period because UA did something terrible. You won't even consider that maybe he was pressured so much by AU coaches that he felt he had to do it this way to keep them from blowing his shit up. You can't fathom that it happened any other way than UA handing the kid a bag of cash and a car. Maybe they did. I don't know. I don't care. Recruiting has become so fucking stupid, because of shit like this. It's ridiculous. Jesus, some kid is announcing his college choice on Facebook and Twitter tomorrow.
I don't exactly agree with the way he is handling it, but then again, I'm not him and I don't know what's going on. None of us do. I'm just wondering, if Alabama is paying every 4 and 5 star recruit, why the fuck can't we get any better QBs? Why aren't these kids lining up at the door?

I'm not even being all that difficult.
I think the kid was probably lying, which I don't agree with. I don't understand why he did it the way he did, but I could understand a few situations that could happen where he would feel it might be the best route. I don't know if those situations actually took place or not. I don't know if the kid was planted by Alabama from day 1. I don't really care. If he flips back to AU tomorrow, I don't care. Is it weird for him to act this way? Sure. I just think it's funny that it's an automatic DEM GOTDAMN BAMMERS CHEATIN AGAIN!!!!

You're right. Let's say he was lying and everything is on the up and up...
Why did Calloway get hauled off by a Alabama booster for 2 days before signing day when he was a commit to Auburn only to come back to sign with Alabama?
Why did Cyrus commit to Auburn on national TV on signing day after being undecided only to change his mind 20 minutes later and fax in the LOI to Alabama?
With that siad...why does Yeldon stay a commitment to Auburn for 7 months only to release a statement to Auburn through the press that he is now 100% commited to Alabama after he never said he was undecided?
Bullshit dude. If you have just one of those, I say it may just be bad luck or a coincidence...but fucking 3??? All 5*'s???? And all happening within the last 10 months???
Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Not only is this bullshit, and reek of dirty pool for obvious reasons, the fact that we just entered the dead period means not only can Auburn not talk to Yeldon, but they can't recruit a potential replacement.

I thought it was pretty damn odd that Calloway and Cyrus committed to AU in the first place. You have to admit, that was pretty weird. You certainly can't tell me that either one was expected. As far as the Calloway thing goes, I'm pretty sure the NCAA has probably had some insight into that situation. I don't know for sure, so just a guess there. Not really worried about it. I too find it interesting that these kids seem to have to "get away" from AU coaches. You're just on the other side of the fence, so you're going to have a negative opinion towards the other side. Same here. Yeah, I think the whole thing is odd, but I just don't have an answer for it.

Apples and Oranges.....again.
Did Calloway switch his committment to us hours before the dead period? Was he an early enrollee? Because those things are HUGE in the case of Yeldon.
Like Chizad said, it also puts our staff in a bind not being able to recruit a replacement for him. If he had done this a month ago, it wouldn't be nearly as bad. We would have time to recover and move on to someone else. Now? We are hosed. We can't talk to any recruit. You have to see where people would think there is malice going on here. He straight up screwed us.

Like I said in a previous posts, I understand there is a difference. I wasn't the one to bring it up again.
I totally see it. I'm not disagreeing with it. If he did it out of spite, he's a prick for doing it. If he had to do it this way because of his HS coach, and/or AU coaches, it's another story. Something interesting? His last day of school was the 16th. I can see both sides of this. Especially if his HS coach was pressuring him as well. Again, I don't know that he was, just throwing that out there.
-
If his last day was the 16th, then he won't have to see his HS coach anymore, just like he avoided manning up to talk with Coach Chizik.
Apples and granola here, but I was listening to a radio show I heard with Skarbinski is on with some woman while I was in B'ham last week. They had Tebow's HS coach on and they asked him how serious Timmy Two-toes was about Alabama. He said he was there when Tebow called Shula and had tears in his eyes when telling Mikey about his decision.
Everyone...altogether now....AAAAAAWWWWWW....
Point is, man up and make the call. Like was said earlier, he left AU in total limbo during the dead period with no chance to replace him. I'll bet the Bama coaches didn't even realize that. They're probably sorry for the bad timing and sent Coach Chizik and his lovelly family a nice card and fruit cake.
-
So Yeldon isn't coming to AUburn?!

Exactly. If he didn't have to see his HS coach again, then he wouldn't have to worry about the pressure from him anymore if the kid really wanted to go to Bama, but the coach was pressuring him to AU. That is IF this is part of the situation.

Not really apples and granola; the point certainly makes sense, and I agree. If you're going to change course, then change course and let somebody know about it. Tebow did the right thing. Yeldon did not, IMO. But then again, I'm not him, and maybe he thought telling somebody was going to unleash a shitstorm from all ends that he did not want to have to deal with. I just don't know. I would hope he would give an interview or something in the near future that will clear things up.

He's seen his HS coach plenty since. He damn sure isn't avoiding G-Bama Vick.
Say all you want about avoiding him after the decision but his family can't. They live here. And don't think that wasn't brought up. Don't think it isn't a factor.
I'm here. Close enough to see what was done.

It is my opinion that neither TJ Yeldon, Brent Calloway, nor Cyrus Kjuandjo(sp?) were ever real Auburn commits. They were set ups. Set ups by Saban, the long arm of the Bammer nation, etc. to dent Auburn's public perception. After the failure of Operations:Smear Cam, they had to do something to gain an edge in recruiting so they could claim dominance and the doom of Auburn. It's all a set up. Just like Primal Fear where there never was an "Aaron" character. These guys were never Auburn's.
Alabama is going to get theirs. It's coming.

Nope, nothing fishy going on here...
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- TiderInsider.com and BamaMag.com are among the outlets reporting that Alphonse Taylor has switched his commitment from Florida State to Alabama today.
The 6-foot-6, 350-pound Taylor was rated the No. 9 Birmingham News Preseason Super Senior after committing to the Seminoles last April.
Taylor is ranked the No. 16 offensive guard in the nation by Rivals.com, which also has him listed as a Crimson Tide commitment now.
In a written statement, Taylor said he respected Florida State but looked forward to playing nose guard at Alabama.
Taylor is the second high-profile Super Senior to switch to Alabama in the last week, following Daphne running back T.J. Yeldon, who made the move from Auburn.

FSU wanted him on the OL, and Alabama wanted him on the DL. He wanted to play nose guard. I would say that is a pretty good explanation. At 6'6" 350 lbs, I think he would fit in well as a NG in Alabama's defense, don't you?

You're right. He was 100% committed to the O-Line last week...However, this week he decided he was 100% committed to the D-Line.

Who says they haven't? Maybe thats how they keep them on the dark side; you know like the two last year. Thats the reason why these boys had to stick with their "original commitment" as Sabynz likes to say.

Commandment Number 4 from Lord Sabynz:
High School Blue Chippers shall honor thy committment unless thou art committed to another school not named Alabama. Then, it is suggested with force that said player dishonor current committment and pledge full support and honor to Lord Sabynz.

Classes don't start until the 11th, and the last day to register is the 19th. Spring II starts in February, but since he said he's enrolling in January, I assume the general academic calendar would apply here. I would assume it would be a little difficult for him to enroll while he is in San Antonio as he has been the past week practicing for the Army All-American Bowl, so I'm guessing that's why he isn't already enrolled.
Or he's really going to go to Auburn. Whichever happens. Unless it doesn't.

I heard that they're going to let him take an online correspondence course for that. Of course, Alabama will have his grades changed, so no worries there.

Mr. all-knowing about drop-add at UAT, how about giving directions to the admissions office on campus there? You can start at an easy landmark, such as the stadium.
