I talked to him at the Alabama and Penn State game. I dont know about now, but at that time he appeared to have no real interest in the tide. He was not wearing any bama gear and just seemed to not really be attached at all. I have heard his girlfriend goes to Auburn already and I would be shocked if we got him.

No need to watch the whole thing (unless you want) but check out the last :20... clearly says "War Eagle." You never know if these guys are just playing it up or not but since he's been a barn lean all along sounds like he's headed to the plains.

Thanks for saving me from five minutes of the entire video, yes the last 20 seconds speaks volumes to me as well.

Just saw a video interview from the AL/MS all-star game and he seemed to be trying to be coy about where he was leaning. He mentioned that he had always heard the relationships you build going into college and in college are the ones that last a lifetime and he could see that happening with the way he bonded with some guys at the game. Also mentioned it "could" make "some guys" change their mind about where they are going. The interviewer asked if there was anyone in particular he bonded with. He quickly responded "me and Brent," then stopped himself and said that everyone just bonded together.

This is Enrique's M.O. The guy's middle name is Coy. While I'd love to have him, he'll most likely end up at the Barn. Don't worry about Calloway. He's re-affirmed his commitment many many times.

In his entire recruitment, I have never seen a single indication that would legitimately lead me to believe that Florence would sign anywhere but Auburn, and I still have not seen one. He has a firm offer to Bama, but he's going to Auburn, end of story.

For a long time I was optimistically holding out a little hope that Bama would sign Florence but down the stretch it is obvious that he is a barner for sure.

I agree with those that think he is headed to the plains. His girl friend will be at AU, he grew up a barn fan ("fell in love with Auburn" "War Eagle" etc.) along with the great season that the barn is having leads me to believe he is a barner in sheeps clothing. I think his MO is to try and turn any Bama commits that he can to Auburn, but that is not going to work.

Sounds like he and the barn are made for each other..:rolleyes:

I think he's a tremendous talent, but I'm okay with Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix and possibly Malcolm Mitchell at safety. We have a lot of great young safeties at Alabama, and coming in.
I agree. We are fine with Ha-Sean, etc. We are positioned at safety to excel. We can always add more dept, but IMO we are better than at anytime in CNS tenure...

Chizik has to involve Bama in everything related to them in order to maintain some relevance. He wants Bama "offered" in the recruit info to make their recruiting look better and he feels he has to mention "Tuscaloosa" in his Ford commercials to get peoples attention and appear relevant.:biggrin:

As much as I would love to have this guy for his skills, I dont want him if he doesnt want to come here and/or doesnt want the best for the program (someone said he's trying to recruit for Auburn).

Chiz's Tucaloosa comment is something about how the F-150 has a GPS, so he can find his way to Tuscaloosa if he wanted to go. He also says, "I wouldn't go to Tuscaloosa unless I had 70 other guys with me."

Cheeznips GPS is really "Gus' Playbook Saves-me"

Why does a Ford truck commercial with Auburn's head coach have to mentioned something about Tuscaloosa??? Cause Ford knows that little brother needs a T-town reference to seem legit. It's like everything else associated with Auburn football...they really want to be us, but they can't stand to admit it.

True to form after visiting the barn this past weekend he named them his favorite.

BamaOnLine.com - AU leads for No. 3 DB after visit
"I got to see what it's like to be an Auburn Tiger," Florence said.

And apparently liked the idea of it.

"They are No. 1 right now," Florence said Sunday following the visit. "It's where I feel most comfortable. I'm more comfortable at Auburn than anywhere else. I feel like I can trust the coaching staff and I think we can do great things at Auburn if I go."

Seeing as how our staff (CNS included) haven been out doing in-home visits, does anyone know if Florence got one? It seems that CNS is hitting up a majority of the most important recruits. You'd have to think that the staff knows already if he's going to the Barn and they're not waisting anymore time.
