This will be interesting and bet it takes down both schools:

Allegations raised by AuburnSports.com Thursday regarding improprieties in the recruitment of Brent Calloway brought to light the actions of an Alabama "supporter", who TideSports.com later identified as Darren Woodruff.

Woodruff allegedly took Calloway, a star player at Russellville (Ala.) High School, to Pensacola, Fla. for two nights following an official visit to Alabama the weekend of Jan. 28-30.

According to Woodruff's long time friend John Stancil, Woodruff picked Calloway up in Tuscaloosa on Sunday (Jan. 30) and drove the top recruit to Florida before returning to Russellville Tuesday night, the night before National Signing Day.

Calloway was originally committed to Bama before switching to Auburn...then came back to Bama.

Maybe he just held a highest bidder auction?

If the $Cam Newton deal can't take down Auburn, I can't believe they're going down. h34r:

In 2 years, UAB will be handed the death penalty for this egregious disregarding of rules.

How is Auburn going down over this? Looks to be more about Alabamas recruiting.

My favorite part of the story right here:

In an extremely efficient investigation, the University of Alabama's compliance department, within 36 hours after the allegations were first made public Thursday, found no violations in Calloway's recruitment, reported TideSports.com.

I think if Auburn pushes it Alabama will double its efforts against Auburn. War within the state.

Bump. In the words of the Tark, "the NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it will probably slap another two years' probation on Cleveland State." SI requote

"(Woodruff) told me Peaches asked him to take Brent out of town ? that Brent needed to go somewhere to think about stuff," said Stancil. "He took Brent down there (to Pensacola) and brought him back to Peaches' house Tuesday night."


Yes and in 5 years the tapes of the party will be on youtube until it is pulled for adult content! Yep! You got to let the kids think about what they are missing! :tongue:

How have we not made more of an issue of the name Harland "Peaches" Winston?

Needless to say, this is very intriguing series of events.

I wonder if anybody at the NCAA thinks the same?

Go Frogs!
