    Do you mean to tell me that The Saban offered a scholarship to a mere 3 star recruit ? What will that do to your rivals ranking ?

    Ballplay, you are right, Saban must see something in him. I noticed that Aub jumped up six spots from yesterday by getting a four star qb commit. Tom Luginbill’s wife must be doing the rankings for yall. Funny, none of the elite schools were looking at him though. They say he (Tyrik Rollison) will probably have to go to a junior college so it will be three years before you see him if at all, besides yall already have a qb that couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the C and the A. why would you want another?

    Thats pretty funnt about the cat thing. Credit where its due and all. But how do you know he isnt going to qualify ? I heard he was. Not that it matters. I feel like Malzahn will find Auburn a quarterback. Hopefully sooner than later.

    What did Star make on his SAT ?

    BI,what did Star make? He is there, ain’t he?(I don’t know what he made) It was reported Rollison made a 13, but it don’t matter, Kodi is yalls man for the next two or his momma and daddy will be on Malzahn’s ass.
