Re: Cyrus Kouandjio commits to the barn but he has not faxed his LOI in

I read on another Alabama site that CK may take another visit to AU, but this time take his parents. They said they got that info via twitter. Has anyone else heard that?

If he wants to go to Auburn for his own, good, personal reasons then he should go and I wish him (not Auburn) well. If his decision is just "he doesn't know" then he should seek council (parents, coaches, etc.). If he goes somewhere his heart really isn't, then it could affect his performance everywhere.

I'd love to have him (and hope we get him), but he is not going to make or break this team. We are still championship caliber. Good luck in your decision CK.

Clowney actually said Cyrus K. asked what he thought of au Clowney replied that he really wasn't into auburn, not cyrus saying he wasn't into au.
 
Re: Cyrus Kouandjio commits to the barn but he has not faxed his LOI in

At the very least, I would want to meet the coaches.
^^THIS^^

If they've been paying any attention to the press on auburn in the last month - it has not been very good, even after winning the NC. I've read things other recruits families have said about the sleazy carsalesmen type recruiting they do. Maybe his parents are aware of some of that. If so I don't blame them a bit for telling him they aren't going to sign it. I mean if Auburn wasn't even in his top 5 a few weeks and Clowney said he said he wasn't interested in auburn. Who can blame them for putting off signing anything. they really seem to trust and like Coach Saban.

Hey, I don't disagree with anything you say. I agree on all accounts. But my point is after all of this if the kid still wants to go to Auburn then let him go. But CK needs to be the one to make the final decision on where he wants to go. So, let the parents go meet the coaches, this time "really" talk about it. But at the end of all of it, CK does not need to base the decision on someone else wanting him to go to a certain school.


That's all well and good - and I'm not a family member - but from all outward appearances, it looks like they were all blindsided by his decision, which means that if they "talked" about it, he gave no indication that he'd made the decision that he had. As a parent, I would not want my child making a rash decision about something this important, and if it meant putting my foot down and saying that I wouldn't sign the LOI, then so be it. At the very least, I would want to meet the coaches.

Since Cyrus had New Mexico on his short list I would think if he got burried in Alabama's depth chart he could transfer somewhere at least the caliber of the Lobo's ;)

I can promise you, IMO, (unless some little fairy comes and takes away this kids athletic ability), he won't get buried in the depth chart, unless he just can't comprehend the offensive scheme, (i don't see that happening either, as he seems to be a very intelligent young man). Granted he may RS, this year to give him time to learn and develop, then again he has the God given talent to come in and play, as long as he learns the O quick enough. JMHO

I have been refreshing twitter all day and haven't seen this.

Well, I won't lie. I would love to see a kid with the character such has Cyrus sign with Bama. Only can hope he signs with the good guys in the end because I'd hate to see such a good kid end up on a team known for dirty practices.


:BigA: ROLL TIDE :BigA:

Cant take another official, would have to travel on own dime.

Its possible he and his parents visit both schools again, but that would require a long weekend with two visits or two more weeks of recruiting. It could go on for a while but i wouldnt guess that long. We will see. I wouldnt expect him to visit one without visiting the other.

as I said before I think his parents missing the visit was a big advantage for the barn.

We can only hope, he comes back to his senses, and wants to make history with his brother....He said he went with his heart,,,,hearts are made to be broken CYRUS GO WITH YOUR BRAIN.:conf3:

Either way Good luck to him, This train will roll with or without him.


I just don't see how someone as close to his brother, as he supposedly is , could pass on a chance to make history, and play by his side....

The father knows more about where his 17 year-old son should be than the son does. That is why 17 year-olds cannot make contracts. He dosen't have the maturity or knowledge of his father. The father should have the final say.

Exactly. And we gave ole Cecil a hard time about $cam. ;) :biggrin2:

Parents often know what is better for their children than their children do, so it would be a sign of wisdom if CK followed his parents advice over his own feelings. If this path is followed, kids often looking back appreciate their parents advice.

I wholeheartedly agree! I say this as a parent and someone who wants Cyrus in Crimson!! If my son is in this position in 10 years, he will NOT make the biggest decision of his life by himself. No way, No how.

Did you read this in a forum or was it quoted in a report?? Link?????

Re: Cyrus Kouandjio commits to the barn but he has not faxed his LOI in

How ironic that AU now wants a future All-American's father to butt out of the decission making process. What happened? Did Daddy Cecil not make the right decission???
