"I was going to put this behind me this Friday but I have prayed and prayed about it and my decision just hasn't come to me yet," said Owens, a member of the Rivals100. "So I am not going to be announcing this week. I will probably wait until after the season now and see what direction my favorite schools are going in.
"I am not going to be one of these guys who commit and decommit. That is not going to be me. When I make up my mind, it will be done. I am not ready to do that yet. There isn't a clear cut choice for me yet."
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting.......
I still think he will be a tough pull from AU, but the longer he waits the better he looks for UA if you ask me. Especially if he's waiting to see who has a better direction. I like his reasoning for waiting.....nothing but class with this kid. :thumbsup: I really think he WANTS to go to AU, but I think he KNOWS he may be better off at Alabama as far as how we use our LBs, etc. The rub is we have alot of talent at LB right now, and thats going to weigh in as well. I think if AU even has a halfway decent season, that will be good enough for him to tip the scales.

Damn, 4 whole days and no spin on this one. Prowler, you're slipping....

Is there any spin to put on it?

Normal people: No

He has a point, much as I despise agreeing with him.

At least Owens has a legit Alabama offer and all that. Something tells me a good bit of Auburn guys are going to miraculously come up with Alabama offers all of a sudden when they commit to AU. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

No shit. Its hard to fuck with most of you because hardly nobody bites the bait. I have found ESPNU is great for at least holding me over. They play replays of games from the 08 season from like Noon-8PMish every day.

You may rue that.

Even if we go 0-12, at least we get to be in Auburn, watch the team play, enjoy some beers with friends, and QUIT TALKING ABOUT RECRUITING FOR A LITTLE WHILE
Now go post some pictures of NAKED women for us

I'm actually shocked Prowler hasn't spun this one yet as well.
The spin coming from homebase is that the AU coaches told Owens to hold off, and that Luper didn't know Owens was going to commit until the media reported his press conference time.
I don't believe it. I do believe the Bama spin, though. I think Saban told Owens to wait until the season starts to see if Chizik would actually be worth a shit.
Must. Perform. On. The. Field.
Keep that in mind February regarding recruiting.

The rumors I've seen are that AU coaches were actually pretty upset that he is holding off. Supposedly they are frustrated because, as we all know, this kid should have been a verbal commit to AU a very long time ago, and they are upset they are having this much trouble. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Would we take Owens? Absolutely. I would love to have him. He is a beast and a very classy kid. Do we need Owens? Not really. But there again, make no mistake, we would take him in a heartbeat.
This kid is legitimately torn between Alabama and Auburn. His uncle was the first black scholarship football player for AU, and his family is full of Auburn fans. Auburn has a fvorable depth chart and an immediate need. The kid should be in the bag by now for you guys. Alabama has less rebuilding and probably has a better chance of being successful over the next few years. Plus, I think he feels going to Alabama may get him more exposure due to our defensive scheme, coaches, and possible future success of the team.
I know a few here make Chizik, Luper, and Taylor out to be recruiting geniuses who can sign anybody, but the fact that Owens is not in the bag says something I think.

It says he doesn't like bags.
Maybe we should explain to him that it's really more like a box than a bag.

Exactly how would anyone on an internet message board know whether or not a coaching staff is upset? Seriously, when did Chizik or Luper or Trooper or Roof or Grimes etc. go tell anyone they were upset with this kid?
