BOL Round Table

Shoot, if all he was told was 'don't go to Auburn' - that's not negative recruiting, but fatherly advice.

***Matt is not an Auburn beat writer.

***Matt has always attributed links, quotes in his work, etc.

***I have talked (as has Tim and Charles) to hundreds and hundreds of recruits, and we haven't had one kid mention Alabama with respect to schools that negatively recruit. In fact, for 99 percent of those kids to tell us who has negatively recruited them, we would really have to coax it out of them. They don't just bring it up. I haven't talked to E. Robinson in a long time as Alabama hasn't seriously recruited him for months, but if he said that an Alabama coach told him "I don't care where you go, just don't go to Auburn," I would be really surprised.
