Andre says he hasn't ruled out a return to Bama. What do you think the odds are that he returns?

So maybe it is best to not rush to judgment and determine someone's legacy without waiting for all of the facts to come out? What a novel concept.
And when a news article says that the investigation is focused on a family member, maybe that really is the case? Interesting.

According to Cecil Hurt, "extremely unlikely". In addition, it's possible that AS would have to sit out a couple of games in 2009 (the NCAA "norm" is 3 games), which would likely push him even more toward the NFL.
As one who hasn't logged on here since August 27, 2005, lemme say HI GUYS ! MISS ME ?
Anything that you hear about Andre Smith right now is pure speculation. I'd hold off on making ANY judgements, other than Saban really showed guts sending him home. Other people would have let him play and dealt with the consequences later. Shows real character.
Oh , and since my last post, my wife and I have had a daughter who is now 2 1/2 and regularly yells (even at church....) ROLL TIDE and AUBURN SUCKS. Her name is Halen , after a certain hero of mine (love ya Eddie). Wife said naming a girl Led Zeppelin would be kinda weired.

If the alleged contact took place out of state, would the Ala AG have any jurisdiction?
Regardless, when Andre signs with an agent, which I expect him to do, I just hope he does NOT use the one that got him into this mess. The scumbag agent certainly knew, but didn't care, about the effects of this contact.

Melvin Bratton is being reported as being involved in this situation.
Just reported on Jox.
He was involved also with the Jamarcus Russell incident.

I believe the official statement from the University went something like, "Andre Smith has been suspended from participating in the Sugar Bowl due to a violation of team rules and polices."
From what has been gleaned to this point, it appears that a relative or distant relative had contact with an agent or a runner for an agent without Andre's knowledge. I seriously doubt that action would constitute a "team violation" if Andre had no knowledge or there was no evidence of his knowledge.
Could it be that Andre's violation of the "team rules and policies" may have to do with his cooperation, or lack thereof, in the University's investigation?

Finebaum said yesterday that Andre wouldn't turn over cell-phone records when asked for them.
Man there is something wicked this way comes...if Andre did it why would he say he might come back? If Andre didnt do it why wouldnt he turn over his records? If his family member did something it pretty much means Andre isnt coming back wether he wants to or not.Question, did Andre just throw the "I may come back" statement out there absentmindly? Or does Andre just NOT know the rules about him and his family rec'vg benefits? Which would explain a lot of what he is saying plus what has been stated here about the whole episode.

So, if you think the AG should do his job, why would you distort the issue by stating your disdain for the AG? What does that have to do with the topic at hand?
I'm failing to see how the NFL forced Andre to get involved with an agent before he was supposed to.....please, explain.
According to the Ncaa rules not only Andre but any member of his family or represenative can rec any benefits and become ineligible when they do.
