Expect OL Javion Cohen to flip to Bama from Auburn. He is currently still an Auburn commit, but stated that he will make a final decision between the two on signing day. He also stated that only one of the schools is still recruiting him...Bama is still recruiting him...basically Auburn saw the writing on the wall, and changed focus.
Remaining Recruits for this class
- Thread starter Blindside17
- Start date
In the end, we will have 10 or more of the Top 100. Hardly chump change.

Yeah we backed off when he decided he wanted to play it for drama. Pretty frustrating, and you can hardly blame the staff when a supposed "commit" wants to play games like that. He was straight up told we weren't going to play that game.
I mean, just decommit.
I admire the approach, but in today’s recruiting that philosophy will get you left out in the cold.
Yeah but it's a high risk strategy when you still have room and time to properly focus elsewhere.
Flax out of JUCO isn't a bad fallback, so it was a "bird in hand" type of deal.
Perhaps I am too close to the edge, It's probably due to having to watch two true freshman linebackers struggle to line up correctly all year because all the older guys we recruited were even worse than them. Except of course for the now ANNUAL "lost for the season" guys and the "left for the NFL after 1 season starting" guys.
Somewhat related, I saw an Andrew Bone premium message today that said Damieon George has had a change in plans. Wondering if it is related to Cohen and possibly taking his spot.
George was scheduled to wait until February to sign due to concerns with his grades. Looks like he has his grades in order because the change is that he will be signing next week during the early signing period.

Can't believe we are only a week away from the early signing period. That reminds me. I need to do some Christmas shopping as well.
JUMP!!!
***Clearly not literal, but do not want to offend anyone these days...
Auburn straight up yanked Cohen's scholarship offer today. Been a while since we've done that. Think the last time we did it was Lache Seastrunk in 2009.
Interesting since there have been rumblings of a flip for a while now. I don't guess that came out just so it does not look like Bama did indeed flip him, especially since the kid plays only 30 minutes from Auburn just wondering.....
The writing has been on the wall for a while now. He's been doing stuff on social media, RTing and liking stuff bashing Auburn. He's pretty much been a commit-in-name-only.
Auburn knows where he wants to go, isn't going to waste any more time on him and isn't going to let him play it for drama at their expense.
Sorry, that is wrong. If this is true and I were Saban, I wouldn't have anything to do with him. He is committed to Auburn. If he wants to switch, fine, but de-commit and respect the school that offered you a scholarship.
Did he ever de-commit from Auburn?
NM - if Auburn pulled his scholly offer he wouldn't have to de-commit.
I hear ya but just seems funny that yall pull a scholly a week from one of the top o linemen in the state a week before he is supposed to sign..
