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

"deer in the headlights look", that is what a cult will do to you. Lets hope he gets his head clear and out from under that spell and once he starts thinking clearly picks Bama! I am just joking around, but have been thinking about magnanga_boy today and what he thought of this.

I will defer to the one who knows more than the rest of us about this, and I hope you are right.
Great class with or w/o JC, but would have been a killer with CK.

You will. The look on his father's face said it all. he wants his sone to be in Crimson. I'm almost certain that Cyrus will be. RTR!!

I would love to know what they tell these kids when they get them down there. CK seems like a good level headed kid and after 1, yes 1 visit without his parents he committs to the barn. They wasn't even in his top 5 2 weeks ago, supposedly he said Saban was a lot like his dad, family loves bama, brother who he is close to is at Bama. Callaway had that deer in the headlights look at the AA game when committed to the barn. CK almost had that same look today. I saw several players commit and I don't recall any other kids having that look.

I commented on how Cyrus looked several times during ESPN cuts prior to his announcement. I told my son he looks like someone who is either not sure he is doing the right thing or who knows he is going to make a lot of people unhappy. My gut flipped then and again during his announcement. I more or less interpreted Calloway's look the same way. I believe both kids were really torn. Of course I wish Cyrus had committed to us, but whatever happens, I wish the best to Arie's brother.

well we have nothing to lose at this point, so the pressure's off. if we flip him great if not we've already been through the meltdown of losing him.

I kind of feel that way too. I went through all the disappointment earlier today so anything from here on out won't be worse than that. Can only go up from here. That said, I'm hoping second time is a charm for us Tide fans.

Lady on Fbomb just reported that ESPN had Clowney on for an interview. They asked him about Kouandjio, and Clowney stated CK had called him a few days ago and said he wasn't interested in awbarn. This whole thing, as ya'll have stated, is strange. I think the longer it lingers, the better our chances are. And I really like that CK and Clowney are still contacting each other. Signing both would be epic.

Put Arie at DE in the Iron Bowl unannounced...
Seriously, as cool as it would be as a parent to have two sons starting OL in the SEC (obviously, not the case yet), to have them at different schools so that I could not attend each game of my children would be tough.

You know Bro...I hadn't even thought of that but you make a good point. I bet Mom and Dad have also informed Cyrus that they really don't want to have to stop pulling for Alabama because he committed to Auburn.

It'll be interesting.

Heck, for all we know the kid might get over there, be a first year "Andre Smith" starter, win a national championship and never look back. Where as come to Alabama, get stuck on the depth chart (like many of them have) and never touch the field.

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 don't suppose there is a chance he pulled this stunt on purpose.......????

He said after his Allbarn visit that he was going to sit down with his parents and discuss everything. So I'm assuming that though his parents didn't go they did sit down and talk. So did they talk or didn't they? Let's assume they talked. They discussed it and both his parents advised him that his best decision was Alabama. But he wanted to go to Auburn. What do you do at that point? Force him to go to Alabama?

I tell you what I'd do. Assuming we discussed it and I gave him my advice, my .02, my opinion of it. I'd let him make the decision. Ultimately we have absolutely no clue at this stage of the game if choosing Auburn is a "bad" decision for him personally. Heck, for all we know the kid might get over there, be a first year "Andre Smith" starter, win a national championship and never look back. Where as come to Alabama, get stuck on the depth chart (like many of them have) and never touch the field. We simply do not know. But assuming him and his parents have discussed his trip to Auburn (and everywhere else), and his parents have had the opportunity to give him their opinion then to me you let him choose where he wants. We can't always protect people from potential bad decisions. Especially those decisions that have so many unknown variables. But to me th best thing for him is to go through the decision making process with his parents, but ultimately let him make the decision on where to go.

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.

Just very strange and fishy - as aubarn's recruiting practices usually are.

Here's hoping we get CK and Clowney! That would be some epic battles in practice :)
 
Re: Cyrus Kouandjio commits to the barn but he has not faxed his LOI in

:PDT_kap: Oh good lord I give up. I'm starting to think this whole thing is a ploy by ESPN to get ratings, and all the top notch recruits and their parents are in on it to drive us fans nuts, keep us logged on their websites and tv stations. :biggrin2:
