Also saw something that was supposed to be Bolden’s dad saying fans do too much and should just be fans.

There were accusations of Bama fans creating Auburn fan accounts to talk shite to recruits, etc.

I don’t know what’s real and what isn’t though because I don’t care enough to find out.

This is why parents and family shouldn't put too much thought into "fans" on the internet. Not just in our case, but for any fan base. I can see this happening. It doesn't take much and for only a 1.00 you can get access to an Auburn fan site.

Yep, I saw a few fake accounts tweeting @ him. Don’t know if they were Alabama fans or not. Could have been, maybe could have been FSU fans as well.

Of course, some were Auburn fans being dumbasses.

There are some Auburn content twitter accounts getting monetized for their large following. I expect more of this.

Happens every year. If i'm a recruit, i'd have my stuff completely locked down and frankly fans need to leave player social media accounts alone. It is sad how low people will sink.

That one could be huge after missing on Beaman. We need bodies at DL.

One Twit-X that was posted (screen printed) went:

Stop living through your son you old weirdo he wants to be a Tiger let him be. Take you old arse back to jail.

Supposedly was to Cam's father from a clown with the handle 'Tiger Insider @insider_342'.

I don’t frequent the board as much as I used to, and I don’t know if it has been mentioned, but…

Jeffrey Lee mentioned that he had talked to Ryan Williams II in regards to his announcement coming up. It’s assumed it is to reclassify into the 2024 class, but as Ryan was walking away from JL after interviewing about it, he said, “or, I could flip…”

A lot of confidence from both sides with that one.

JL might catch a lot of heat for his percentages, but he’s right more often than not and he makes them based on the intel he receives. And Coke Pinkston is quickly becoming one of the best in the industry.

I saw that clip where JLee was on and said that. He is right, RW certainly knows what to say to make both sides feel good about their chances. He knows what he is doing.

Lee has to feel old as hell covering some of these kids recruitment after he covered their dad's back in the day too. He made a remark about covering Sr's recruitment to Auburn in that same video.

JL had that one really bad recruiting cycle and it takes awhile to earn trust back. I think most people are beginning to pay attention to his takes again.

He told the staff he was coming. The staff relayed that to JL. It happens.

Saban didn’t have to talk to donors… car dealerships went directly to the players and said come get you a challenger on lease with no payment. Then they would
Slide down to mobile and get a set of $10k wheels added on. And so forth. And old suit dude just would happen to have all players come by and get a suit or 5 from him and I guess he would only charge for signed memorabilia

The funniest thing is people saying Auburn is just throwing money around and outbidding others.

Well, yeah, kind of like college athletics has always been done? It’s just legal now. Nothing has changed outside of it just being legal.

Yeah, the parents of high profile and highly recruited athletes need to know better. On one hand they are trying to boost the publicity to up the NIL value, and the other hand cribbing about the negative attention. It cuts both ways.
