Title: Corey Grant?
Post by: djsimp on June 03, 2011, 01:36:03 PM
Rumor has it he wants out at bama and to walk-on at Auburn. I saw this on the AuburnEagle but it seems to have originated from Scout.com. Anyone heard this yet?

As I understand it, Grants transfer is pretty much a done deal. I think the "wait-n-see" is whether or not he will get a full release which most highly doubt he will. Even if he is a walk-on its the difference b/w sitting one year or two.

If it were true, then yes. I really doubt it is true though. It doesn't really matter to some AU fans whether it is true or not. They say it on an AU blog, it's what some AU fans want to hear/believe, and easily explained by a "Saban wouldn't let him transfer" if it doesn't happen. Win-win for those AU folks, because in their minds, it's just like it happened.

So fucking tired of both sides conjuring up something on a message board and/or blog, then picking it up and running with it like it's true. Then if it doesn't happen, yet another conspiracy theory is created to explain why the first one didn't come true. It always involves some player who is an "easy target" and would be believable to the sheep of each fanbase. A recruit that was split between the two schools and chose one, a player one recruited heavily and he went to another school, etc etc.

Whether the Corey Grant thing is true, I don't know. But at this point, it's bullshit until Grant or UA come out and say he's transferring.

I can't say with 100% veracity, but I feel like there is definitely something to the Corey Grant stuff, and you're blowing a whole lot of smoke for nothing.

These "rumors" didn't just originate from some anonymous trolling asshole on the bunker. There are (relatively) reputable blogs putting themselves out there saying that they have confirmed this to be true. This is, of course, predecated on several sources reporting that he wanted to transfer from Alabama, not specifying where he would be transferring to, that started over a week ago.

I'm not saying I know for 100% fact that these things are true, but I think you're overstating the baselessness of this "rumor".

So, should nobody discuss it?   Should this just be a TigersX straight up news organization?  Only put shit out there, or discuss things that are factually already available anyway?

I like the way you think sir.  You are a revolutionary thinker and fine example of the top .0004% of society.

Jesus....relatively reputable blogs have confirmed it.

Your definition of baseless is different than mine. Is that because we both want the outcome of the rumor to side on each of our sides of the fense? Perhaps. But holy hell, some "reputable blogs" were reporting all kinds of crazy shit that they had "confirmed" about the Cam Newton scandal. ESPN was reporting shit, and you guys were tearing it down bit by bit. But since this is something you want to favor AU, and AU blogs/message boards are reporting it, in your mind those a reputable because they support the outcome you favor.

It's all a matter of opinion. I simply find it amusing how now some blogs are "reputable" as long as they blog in AU's favor, but others aren't and some actual legit media agencies such as ESPN and the NYT are complete shams because they don't report in AU's favor.

Does it not matter that people that follow AU directly might have better sources in and around AU than people "reporting" complete hearsay from people NOT directly involved with AU (ie; Blogle and other AU blogs with AU sources, vs. ESPN Joe Schad who was even quoted as saying that he didn't care who the source was?)

Your example of using ESPN was laughable.  NYT's falls into the exact same catagory.  None of those stories turned out to be true, or proven to be true either.  Only Cecil's apparent admitting of talks, but that's a far cry from the countless other points of bullshit they flung with no basis other than to fling it at a hot time for publication circulations.

No. I really am sick of the back and forth bullshit. I've been saying it for sometime now. It has made this whole rivalry not fun at all. I've nearly stopped following recruiting for that matter, because you can't even have a decent discussion about it anymore.

Been leaning this way for a while myself.  Don't get me wrong, whenever I see bammer lose at anything, I smile, but as far as talking smack amongst friends, we don't anymore, it's not funny, as a matter of fact the only time I talk sports for the most part is when it is with someone from here.  Music, food, booze, humor, work and kids are all I usually make time for now days.

RWS has implied the premise, and no one has seemed to challenge it, that a blogger reporting something like a player is going to transfer, is equivalent to some trash site like SportsByBrooks accusing a program or player of cheating.

Come on.

First of all, in the former scenario, no one is accusing anyone of anything. There's no malicious intent. It's not about slandering someone based on some rumor you heard by throwing as much shit up against a wall as you can, and hoping some of it sticks. We're talking about a blog trying to be the first to report a "scoop" that can 100% be verified as fact one way or the other. The two are apples and veal parmisagn.

But Chizad, why is it a trash site? Why is SBB not reputable? Because they floated a rumor you didn't like?

My point: it's in the eye of the beholder. Different blogs and message boards float different rumors and innuendo. We seem to decide whether those sites are legit or not based on what we do or don't want to believe, and that then changes if they later report something we do or don't like. I mean, if we're claiming blogs and message boards as reputable sources now, then AU is indeed getting the hammer.

Or, are we only going on blogs that you and other AU fans deem as reputable? Who annoints these blogs and message board posters as "reputable"?

You're an idiot.  What you don't grasp is that you're giving credence to stories that have been blown up, proven incorrect or never proved correct, even from places like ESPN & NYT's.  Chizad's all over you because of the same thing as it relates to SBB.

The point is, you act like this is some sort of Auburn issue, when you so clearly do it yourself just as much as the next person.

I also think it's fair to say that an AU Blog, or site dedicated to AU and AU alone might have more insight into a program and the goings on than some outside fourth and fifth party source, regardless of what they are.

Whatever though.

Not that I really follow the Tahd until the Irons Bowls but did either of these guys contribute?  Don't recall hearing much about them on the field.

I believe Petey got greyshirted after switching his committment from AU to UA when Willis left for Bama. Not sure about his contribution amount. Doesn't matter though. If I were a Bama fan, I would be thinking this looks bad. Just my .02.

When Petey committed, he said he knew he was going to greyshirt. It's not like it was a surprise to him when he got there. I don't think he ever saw the field in a game. I hope he has a great career wherever he ends up. Seems like he's a good kid, just got caught up on the depth chart.

You're missing the point. Entirely. I'm aiming at the people who start the rumors, and the people (like you) who claim they have inside info and morph the pre-existing rumors into a different form to leave their own mark on it. If somebody wants to discuss outside of that, then whatever. simp's original post handled it about as well as you can by saying he saw it on a blog and thinks it originated from a message board, doesn't know if it's true, and what say you? He didn't create a new dimension to the rumor. He didn't claim credit for creating the rumor. He didn't smear anybody.

That's how you discuss. Notice that I never even jumped in on it. I didn't jump in until a conspiracy theory was introduced by Prowler that now it might not happen because Saban won't let him. Again, I'm tired of the conspiracies by both sides. Whether this is true or not, who knows. It's all a matter of opinion and who/what you want to believe. I'm also tired of people who make up/perpetuate as truth conspiracies to explain why the original conspiracy never panned out.

All this stuff surrounding Cam, recruits, cheating, Toomer's Corner, etc has skewed this rivalry so much it's ridiculous. You have to go through 9 miles of bullshit just to get any kind of decent real information now. It's hard to interact with AU fans because they're hypersensitive about shit after the whole Cam and Toomer's Corner thing (rightfully so regarding the trees), and half of our fans are, well....our fans. It just isn't mixing.

So, answer this question updyke...how is it a conspiracy theory when the statement is entirely true?  You do realize that Coaches usually put stipulations on where their current players cannot transfer to?  You jumped on my statement with your own conspiracy theory.

All this stuff surrounding Cam, recruits, cheating, Toomer's Corner, etc has skewed this rivalry so much it's ridiculous.

Thayer, Thamel, Moore, Berger, Woodruff, Peaches, Updyke, etc. So, who's skewing this rivalry?

Again, my only problem came when a theory was posted about how if it didn't happen, it's because that damned Saybun just wouldn't let him transfer to AU. It was a catchall to explain away what would happen if the theory didn't come true, and was a win-win. I even said myself, numerous times, that I didn't know if it was a true or false rumor. I'm the type of person that takes shit with a grain of salt until I hear it from the horse's mouth. That's always the safest bet.

I had no issue with the original thing of Corey Grant might leave Alabama. I've said this before. It's all of the bullshit that gets made up by the Prowlers of the fanbase to go along with it.

For realz.

The FACT is, as reported by a relatively reliable blog, which can in no way be equated to bullshit like SportsByBrooks to anyone with any cognitive capacity whatsoever, that Corey Grant was transferring from Alabama, and is strongly considering going to Auburn.

We now know this to be 100% fact. This blog reported it. They weren't full of shit.

With what we know now, if this had not come to pass, why could that have been? What could have possibly prevented a kid who wants to transfer and has told others as much, from actually leaving? Who has the power to grant or deny that right? Hmmm...
