I have read a few reports that he may be the most under-rated member of this signing class.
I know he and his family are certainly glad to have this behind them now, you made the right choice Cyrus! Welcome aboard and RTR!!!! :BigA:
It's hard for him to beat out a former freshmen all-american from SEC. However, if he can, I would be happy to see AD line up as TE again. IF both AD and Vogler play TE for us, along with Cyrus and Fluker at OT, we can run all day long.
If Cyrus wins the starting job at LT & AD does move to TE..That could be one of the most dominate O-Line ever at Bama..And there's been a lot of great O-Lines at Bama..I can't wait to se what kinda O-Line Coach Stoutland puts together..The Beef & Talent is there too makes his job easier..
AwBURNed is a bit peeved.
Bama beats 10-I-see at their place.
Cyrus joining his brother on the train to another championship.
All in all...............outstanding day.

I feel like a little girl who just got the pony she's been asking for. I loved reading the first 2 pages of this thread where it was "Not sure" "Can't Confirm" "Looks real" "I'm skeptical"... then BOOM! Lovin' it!

Magnanga, now that Cyrus is in the house, I will be hounding you day and night.

Can someone please tell me Magnanga's secret identity now?! I don't do facebook so I couldn't take him up on his FB request to everyone... I didn't PM him or others in order not to bother a Kouandjio family member.

I don't think it's secret. My understanding is he's an immediate family member.Can someone please tell me Magnanga's secret identity now?! I don't do facebook so I couldn't take him up on his FB request to everyone... I didn't PM him or others in order not to bother a Kouandjio family member.

I suppose there is a fine line between hounding people and showing admiration. I always felt like you should treat people, regardless of who they are, like ordinary people. No better, or worse. In my experience celebrities tend to respond well to treating them ordinarily. However, I think we've seen through this and some of Cyrus' comments that showing your admiration (if done properly) is not a bad thing. I think the whole thing also reminds us to keep in mind that we never know who might be reading this, so flippant message board remarks can be seen by the people you are talking about. If you've ever read people who don't know you, and you've never interacted with, discussing you, it's a weird feeling and people take even moderate accolades as free reign to make personal comments.
Then again, what do I know? I dodge calls from an artist that I've literally heard on TV every day for the past week. Anyway, I'm glad to have Arie, Cyrus, and Mike as part of the Crimson Tide family. I hope they enjoy the environment and I believe the Kouandjios will leave their mark on Alabama history. I also hope they don't become overwhelmed by our enthusiasm...
I don't think those rankings have been updated - there's no way we're still #6...
This is an article from the end of '09 but it gives a little insight to the K brothers and their family. SIAP

Welcome aboard Cyrus. ROLL TIDE!!!!
Wow... Just wow at the vitriol being spewed by AU fans.
I'm not linking to it or posting screen caps, but they have really been showing their true colors. I know we had our own little bru-hah-hah here last week, but my goodness that was like a kindergarten kerfuffle compared to what I've been seeing this morning.
I am delighted that this outstanding young man is going to play for Alabama, but if he had decided that Auburn was the place for him, I would have been disappointed but no way would I spew such nastiness.
Not only is Cyrus going to play for a great program, with a great coaching staff and the greatest fans on earth, he is also going to get a great education and fulfill the intentions of his mother and father, who moved to the United States so that their children could get that great education.

I think it would be better to keep his name under wraps..We know his info is legit if he post anything..That's all I need to know..And hopefully he'll post inside info of how things are going for both Aries & Cyrus..I feel like a little girl who just got the pony she's been asking for.
