Not that it will matter, because well it's UC, but they're at 32 right now.

3-star Darius Philon - who committed Sep 1 - was asked to grayshirt. TODAY.

Darius Philon has not signed. Teammate said # bama asked him to grey shirt.






Trying to get confirmation on whether Philon actually signed. Coach tells TV crew "he's real distraught."



Odd scene at Vigor. Philon leaves stage early, ducks media. Did not seem all smiles as you would expect. # bama

Ths is the kind of SEC recruiting stuff that Meyer hated while at UF.

And the Alabama fans are claiming that he was told up to two months ago. If that was the case then why is he upset TODAY.

Example number 1000000000 of why Saban is a POS.

Two teammates, Marlon Moore and Paul Kyles, said that Philon had been asked by Alabama to grayshirt -- or defer his enrollment until next January. Kyles said he believed Philon got the call last week.

On signing day...a week before signing day...point is, Nick Saban is a cunt.

No doubt. Even a month out is pretty dispicable. I just wanted to make it known he didn't put the hat on for Alabama without possibly knowing this was going to happen.

That's over the line. Cunts don't deserve to be compared to Nick Saban.

Yet kids still keep committing to such heartless coaches. When will they begin to realize, this isn't going to change until the NCAA steps in. (never)

Auburn and Florida Offer 4 Year Scholarships

Most of you probably already heard about this, but many of the Big10 schools
gave out 4 year scholarships this year. In addition, two schools in the SEC
(Auburn and Florida), both of which did not oversign this year, also gave out 4
years scholarships. That is awesome! Florida has traditionally stayed away
from oversigning, but under Tommy Tuberville, Auburn signed and oversigned a
lot of players. That seems to be changing under coach Gene Chizik. It will be
interesting to see if other schools join Auburn and Florida. Vanderbilt and
Georgia are the first that come to mind.
This is definitely progress!

So... 5* WR Ricky Seals-Jones was the latest to pull the trigger for Texas A&M today, giving them a total of 34 COMMITTMENTS for their 2013 class... making him the 9th WR to join their class.

Welcome to the SEC, indeed.

I'm pretty certain they have 8 EE.

Recruiting practices have become pretty sick in some schools. All schools should offer 4 year scholarships and you should only get dropped if you fail to perform at the minimum level in the classroom. Pretty shitty to offer a kid to come play, then give him the boot or ask him to grayshirt if you think his production on the field is less than another player you want to sign. No commitment to a kid.

Aren't EE's counted against the previous year? They had 21 last year.
