Title: Hey bammers.....y'all still think Spencer Region
Post by: The Prowler on February 09, 2010, 06:02:22 PM
isn't "worthy" to play for SPuat?

Spencer Region ranked #214 Overall Prospect in the Country....that's right bammers, he's in the early Rivals Top 250 (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Spencer-Region-102274)

I think he's worthy, skill wise. I simply don't like his attitude, and I hope they pull his offer. Good luck to him at AU.

The feeling is mutual....apparently.  BTW, I can understand why you wouldn't like his attitude.  I would too, if I thought he was playing me like a fool.  But, I would also decide to step back...get all the information that I could, before I completely write him off as a fuckin' asshole, especially if I had a sadistic piece of shit as my team's Head Coach.  Of course, that's just me.  Go ahead and blaze your own trail.

I could care less what a guy does before he has even made it to his senior year. Who really cares? He is a huge kid and he will get a chance to play for whomever he wants. If he goes to allbarn great. If he goes to Slippery Rock cool. I am done talking about this.

If he did the same exact thing and switches from Auburn to Alabama on NSD, for example, the kid is still going to be dead to me. I don't want our coaches to recruit him. I don't want him to play for Alabama. Not because he isn't skilled enough, simply because of his attitude. I understand he's a kid, and I understand that kids do stupid shit. It's fine if he wants to go to AU. No problems there. But the fashion in which he chose to do it in? Thats my issue.

His attitude of calling out a coach that was pressuring the fuck out of him to commit and then not take any more visits his whole senior year? Even though this should be a process he should enjoy and that should not be taken away from him?

Yeah. I'll take my chances on his "attitude".

So, is it not reasonable to believe it may have very well been that Saban did, or said, that really pissed Spencer and his dad off to the point of changing his mind the morning of his commitment? So, the guy doesn't commit to bama, does that automatically deem him as a bad kid? All I am saying there is reports that have been floating around from the Scout guy about why SR changed his mind and the reason why things went down the way they did. Is it true, well I dont know, but I will say just because his commitment was done in the manner it was doenst make him a sorry kid. There are things that may have happen that we all would, from a fathers perspective, cause a sudden or "drastic" reaction.

Yeah. I'll take my chances on his "attitude".
I really don't think he was pressured to commit. I think he let his emotions run rampant, and he committed early. He knew Saban's deal about no visits once you commit. He shouldn't have committed if he wanted to take visits. I mean, how hard do you think the staff had to recruit him or pressure him when he's telling anybody that will listen how he has dreamed of playing in BDS, has been waiting his whole life for an offer from Alabama, etc. For fucks sake, he only got his offer Jan 30th. He had his offer for 3 whole days before he committed privately. What did they do, call him every hour on the hour for three days and text him if he didn't answer they would kill him? Hold a gun to his head in Saban's office, where he didn't even commit on the spot, but went home and committed days later? Please. 

Go read some past stories from past recruits that have ended up signing with Alabama, and some that haven't. Alot of them say that one thing they appreciated was that they weren't pressured to commit on the spot. If you look at this situation obvectively and take into account that he had his offer for a total of 3 days, didn't commit on the spot when he got his offer, but called Saban a few days later and committed, you question how he could have been so heavily pressured. I mean, it works for AU fans because it gives you ammo to say "Oh mane, dem bammers are skeered!!!", and it works for AU coaches because they could get a commit to openly put down their in-state rival. Plus it works for AU, because his actions may make some schools hesitate about offering him. Less competition. But thats about all it is good for.

You're a dumb ass...

Saban wants to stop Auburn's recruiting momentum. He is picking in-state players and planning when and where and pressuring them to commit at that time.

Region probably did want to play for Alabama and told Saban that he did. He just didn't want the pressure of committing when Saban told him to and then not letting him enjoy the process.

It makes much more sense than what you are spinning...

I find it amusing that you gave the response that you gave, and in the same post, said that my response was totally unreasonable. You pretty much gave the response that I predicted; "Oh mane, dem bammers are skeered!!!"

Like I have said in previous posts, it's not like in 2008 where Alabama put a stranglehold on AU in recruiting. If you didn't notice, Alabama had a pretty damn good 2010 class too. AU had a pretty good class, and nobody knows who will even make it on campus yet, or know how they work out on the field. But oh, Alabama coaches are terrified. Because YOU say so. Rrrrrriiiiiight. In reality, neither of us know dick. We have our opinions, but that is about as far as it goes.

Spencer wasn't pressured into doing shit.  Nobody told him he had to set up a press conference and commit a year before signing day.  HE decided that.

He's plays a position that won't be heavily recruited this year by Saban.  Bama will likely only take 18-20 commitments and Spencer wasn't high enough up the priority board and was told that if he waits around, he likely won't have a spot late in the game.

Other commitments, like Brent Calloway, who will be a pivotal part of this class said this very recently.

"My commitment to Alabama is solid. I am going to go through the recruiting process and take visits, but I told Coach Saban that when I committed and he was fine with it. It is something that I need to do because I really haven't been anywhere else."

What?  Calloway can take visits and Spencer can't?  Like I said, Spencer (although he is a good player and would be a nice addition to the 2010 class) isn't at a "need" position so he was simply told they wouldn't hold a scholarship for him if he wanted to look around.

So Saban double standard-ed Spencer Region (He can't go on visits but the other kid can).  Yeah, that's fair.

That's how you interpreted it, but that's not what I said.  He was wanted, and had already committed to Bama.  He was simply told after calling off his presser that if he wanted to look around, he didn't have a guaranteed scholarship.  Not like Marvin Shinn or Brent Calloway, who will be taking all of their allotted official visits.  

If I really cared enough to make a solid point, I'd make a list of the offensive lineman taken in the last three years by Saban.  Trust me, OL isn't a need this year.  SR could have been one of the few who will be taken in this class, he just chose not to be.

You bammers are about to see how "Solid" Brent Calloway's commitment is.

Here's a funny thought, prospects that decide for themselves, where they want to spend the next 3-5 years....usually decide on Auburn over SPuat.  Prospects that are pressured by their family, HS Coaches, and peers into selecting where they will attend college....usually decide on SPuat over Auburn.

Bama fans are still upset about this.  Here's another example of bammer thinking.

"Auburn signed several jucos this year which propped up their ranking. Bama usually signs a couple. SR's slot most likely has been filled by a 4 or 5 star target. Bama will be very selective this year with lots of great players waiting on an offer."  Quoted from some bammer bitch on another site.

Real talk - no BS here.....

Talked to someone I know who works on the staff at CHS this morning. Here are a few tidbits I was told. TIFWIW.

** Spencer has a brother who seriously likes the spotlight and likes making a scene. Does this mean anything? Who knows. I can't verify he even has a brother - so again, TIFWIW.

** Its not likely and he does love Auburn for the time being but do not be surprised if he ends up somewhere else. He IS actively looking. This is from someone who sees this kid on a regular basis.

** Not only was he contemplating Auburn the hours before the presser, but he had actually decided on FSU in hus own mind before committing to Auburn.

Region accepted an invitation to the Under Armour game.  He was also invited to the Army game, but chose the UA game.  Same article said he was at the junior day last week and said his commitment was stronger than ever (for now).

may be in trouble with losing out on Region?  It's a possiblity.  But, IMO, he's wanting to make sure he made the right choice and felt that he couldn't do that still committed to Auburn.  I'm sure the bammers will start claiming that he's all theirs.

Well, we all know that Coach little bitch wouldn't be trying to recruit him, because he was committed to Auburn...and, he didn't have an offer from SPuat anyway (Andrew Bone, from Rivals, had the checkmark on his SPuat offer box removed).  So if he doesn't recommit to Auburn then...good luck to the kid while he finds his school out of state.

Two things...

1. We've been tagged as the favorite of a hightly touted OL out of Washington D.C. (Lewter)  I think he's questioning our aggressive recruiting of more and more linemen.  Why shouldn't we?  Makes sense it could make one or two nervous.  Whether it should or not is another debate entirely.

2. One of the whole reasons he spurned Alabama for Auburn was the fact that Auburn coaches would allow him to take visits.  I don't see this as anything other than opening it up to attract some good visits and the due attention he (thinks he) deserves.

JMO....

For the record, this is the exact position Alabama is in.  Bama just doesn't have a huge need at the OL spot in this class.  Cyrus Kouandjio may be the top offensive lineman in the 2011 class, and he's going to follow his brother to Alabama.  Bama might take one or two more along with Kouandjio, but there just isn't guaranteed spots for the OL like there has been in years past.

I stated the day he committed to AU that he wasn't finished.  If someone falls through later in the process, Spencer might get a late call/visit again from Saban.  If he does, I think he'll listen.  Especially if he is still "open".

Anything's possible.   Shon Coleman freaked everyone out by simply doing what he said he was going to do also.  People need to relax.

Since AU loses 4 experienced starting OL and 7 total OL after this season, I would imagine you guys would want to hang on to your OL recruits. Not saying that Regions' decommitment leaves you guys fucked, but I would imagine OL is a concern. I know you guys loaded up in the 2010 class, but outside of Coleman and Mack, the OL class really isn't star-studded. And unfortunately, (I certainly hope I'm wrong), Coleman may not be good to go.

The ONLY reason Region's possible defection wouldn't hurt as bad is that the big need is at the Tackle spot.  That spot will turn into a huge hole if Auburn doesn't sign a top notch HS Tackle this year.

Yeah, you've just conveniently left out the four star JC transfers and the others that have committed.  Also, Rivals hasn't even ranked the current prospects.  Good call on the star studded comments though.  I understand your need to stir the pot however.  Proceed if you must.

Auburn commitment Spencer Region exploring other college options
By Charles Goldberg -- The Birmingham News
May 06, 2010, 6:00PM

Cullman High School offensive lineman Spencer Region, who committed to Auburn in February, says he's opening up his recruitment and is considering other schools, according to AuburnUndercover.com and AuburnSports.com today.

Region committed to Auburn at a press conference that many expected he would choose Alabama. Region visited Auburn on several occasions after that, saying he would play for the Tigers.

Region told AuburnUndercover.com that, "I'm still committed, but my recruitment is pretty much open.''

"I haven't decommitted, but I'll be taking a lot of visits to make sure Auburn is where I need to be."


He told AuburnSports.com that "I'm back to being undecided."  

Those websites have more quotes and details, so check them out.

Region said he is considering Auburn as well as Alabama, Texas, Southern California, Georgia, Ole Miss, Penn State and Oregon.

Two other offensive linemen --  Reese Dismukes and Thomas O'Reilly -- committed to Auburn after Region announced he would sign with the Tigers.

I mean, this is exactly what Coleman did. Sounds like he's still committed but just wants to take visits. I'm fairly confident he stays with us.

Just a case of knee jerk reaction on some bunkerites part.  Some others here and there.  No worries at this point.  The kid's just doing what he said he'd probably do from day one.  It's also pretty dumb if he wants to be invited to take some official visits to be talking about how ironclad closed you are. 

All part of it.  It's a long way to February.  Ask RWS, he's great with calendars.

So, the only person I left out is Gayden. Other than him, and the other two I listed, you guys have two 3* OL and one 2* in the 2010 class. I simply considered Coleman and Mack the most talented out of the bunch. I didn't include anybody from the 2011 class because they haven't been ranked, and for that matter, you guys just had one decommitment. I mean, come on, it's May......I thought you were good with calendars? You made your little calendar argument and then went right against it all in the same post.

Yep, Gayden.  What about Mosely (the TE that's coming in as a OL?)   4*'s according to Rivals.  Guess they weren't convenient for your stupid little snarky post originally.  You only missed it by half (2 of the 4).

Seriously.  You made a stupid comment.  You didn't simply consider Coleman and Mack "the most talented".  You stated that the others "weren't exactly star studded" not knowing, and not caring about what you were talking about. 

Seeing that 4 true freshman performed outstandingly for Auburn when Ziemba and the others came in, my point about the 2011 class infers that there might be good talent coming in you're not even considering.

It's not a calendar issue, dipshit.

As of his last interview on Rivals, he still didn't know where he would end up. He was pretty consistant through all of his interviews that he could play either, but didn't know where he would end up. Seeing as how this coming season, other than Lutz, AU will have a converted QB as a TE, I wouldn't imagine it is beyond belief that he could play TE.

Different coaches. Different offense. Different situation entirely. I might wake up with a full head of hair tomorrow. Every recruit might turn out to be an All-American. So, let's just get rid of this whole ranking thing alltogether and rate every recruit a 5*. I mean, if we're going to judge everything by potential.....

I also saw this quote, which confirms my position on the matter.

"I'm an Auburn man," he said. "I'm still committed to Auburn. I'm still taking my visits because that's what coach (Gene) Chizik wants me to do. Right now, I'm going about my business, looking at everything, and making sure that Auburn is the fit for me and the place I need to be. That's all there is to that."

God damn dude.  Your point was fucking stupid.

Since AU loses 4 experienced starting OL and 7 total OL after this season, I would imagine you guys would want to hang on to your OL recruits.

We're MAYYYYYYYBE in danger of losing one at this point.  Possibly picking up a few more before February.  Your point was fucking stupid from the start.  As far as the experienced part, that's the reason that half the guys you missed are Junior College transfers.  Also, rember, Christian lost his fourth star because of a bad performance in one game, otherwise was a four star all through his senior year in HS.  Go fuck yourself.

Like I said, I wasn't saying that Regions' decommitment left yall fucked, just that it should be a general concern. Hell, according to most folks here, Alabama was fucked for 09 because we had to replace 3 starters with some upperclassmen, and OL was one position we were pretty deep at. I was pretty concerned myself. Shit happens.

Real talk - no BS here.....

Talked to someone I know who works on the staff at CHS this morning. Here are a few tidbits I was told. TIFWIW.

** Spencer has a brother who seriously likes the spotlight and likes making a scene. Does this mean anything? Who knows. I can't verify he even has a brother - so again, TIFWIW.

** Its not likely and he does love Auburn for the time being but do not be surprised if he ends up somewhere else. He IS actively looking. This is from someone who sees this kid on a regular basis.

** Not only was he contemplating Auburn the hours before the presser, but he had actually decided on FSU in hus own mind before committing to Auburn.


If this info has already been reported from the skreets - then my apologies. If not, then enjoy. I love the offseason. :)

Make no mistake, I hope Region is pancaking guys while in blue and orange, but after seeing some of his quotes, I'm not a huge fan of his "get me to the NFL" attitude.

Here are some quotes you never like hearing from a "team" player....

"...and what’s going to get me to the next level in the NFL"

"...especially people that have NFL connections"

"...every coach I’ve talked to says I’m the best guard they’ve seen"

"...but wherever I feel like can get me to the NFL, that’s where I’ll be"

"...I know that if I get down early and start working, I’ll be able to start for sure"

"...I should be able to come in and start wherever I go"

"...because I want to get to the next level where I can make some money"

He did qualify some of those statements with "if I work hard" etc, but still, you can "work hard" and still not start as a freshman or make it to the NFL. I don't like the assumptions. A confident kid can talk about possibilities and hopes, an arrogant kid talks with assumption and entitlement, which is what we see here with Region.

This isn't a "we don't want him anyway" post, this is a "I don't really care for his attitude but still hope he's running over defenses in the name of Auburn" post.  Part of me hopes he goes "where ever can get him to the NFL" and then he flops at a level that makes Ryan Leaf feel like a success.  I just don't care for the outspoken arrogance.  Little bit too douchey to me.

Like I said before, you can't listen to this kid or see his actions and 100% honestly believe he has his head on straight. I'm not going to be mad at some kid over where he goes to college. However, I can be mad over the manner in which he does it.

We must also remember how much we all knew at that age.   :sarcasm:

I understand what you're saying, but even at 17, there has to be a certain amount of level headedness that goes along with being recruited by major D1 schools.

At 17 there is little level headedness that goes into anything.  Add to the equation that most of these kids have had their respective asses kissed for at least a couple of years and that is a recipe for cockiness.  That is why there are the upperclassmen to "handle" things when they get on campus.

For the record, my position from the beginning has been:
Quote
And for the record, I have no clue if Region will end up at Auburn. If he does great, if he doesn't, that's fine too. But as of right now, he made Saban look like the total ass clown that we all know him to be.

In my opinion, the pressure is squarely on Saban. And he is feeling the pressure by pressuring these kids to commit early and then not enjoy the process. Fuck you Saban. Not everyone likes to be treated like a little bitch. Sure, the media likes it when you slap them around...they will still stick your dick in their mouths...but not everyone likes it. Fuck you. Your time is coming you little prick...

Quote
I don't give a fuck (if he switches back). He bitch slapped Saban today. Told his a big "FUCK YOU". That shit is funny to me. If he switches from Auburn back to Alabama, that is something that Saban has to live with.

If I asked a girl out, and she completely embarrased me in front of everyone and called me and my family a bunch of names, I'll be damned if I would accept a date from her later on. If Saban does, so be it.

Quote
As I have said, Saban is going to have to swallow a lot of pride if he accepts this kid. Not only that, but he is still recruiting a kid currently committed somewhere else. Either way you look at this, whether the kid goes to UA or not, Saban looks like an asshole in this situation. It's why I have gotten such a big kick out of it...

I never liked this kid picking Auburn because he was the end all be all at OG. I am sure he is a good player. I just  thought it was hysterical HOW he picked Auburn. If he ends up at Alabama, so be it. Both Regions and Saban will have a lot of crow to eat...

As of his last interview on Rivals, he still didn't know where he would end up. He was pretty consistant through all of his interviews that he could play either, but didn't know where he would end up. Seeing as how this coming season, other than Lutz, AU will have a converted QB as a TE, I wouldn't imagine it is beyond belief that he could play TE.
Oh, thanks for telling me what I think.
Different coaches. Different offense. Different situation entirely. I might wake up with a full head of hair tomorrow. Every recruit might turn out to be an All-American. So, let's just get rid of this whole ranking thing alltogether and rate every recruit a 5*. I mean, if we're going to judge everything by potential.....
Kinda like you might go to a bama game before you die? Wait, never mind...

Geez, a bammer has only been to their Mecca 4 times in his life!  Fuckig amazing.  I have to suffer that lousy shit hole a few times a year outside of football season.  I was there this past Sunday, on campus even.  My child was recognized by the Duke TIP program.  Bammer has the ceremony on their campus so they can fucking beg and plead for parents to send their smart kids to bammer, and tell them they'll give their smart kids a free ride with all the trimmings if they'll just come to bammer.  Bammer is giving full rides to the same smart kids Auburn, and even UA fuckin' B are only offering half as much to.  It was really pathetic to listen to this Dean beg.  It was funny when the row of folks I was sitting on sat silently and still when this Dean asked for a round of applause for all the stuff bammer is giving the smart kids in an attempt to lure them there.
