Who’s to say that he made a mistake by getting the tat? If that’s what this man wanted he’s entitled to it. Who are ya’ll to judge him? Where did ya’ll play college football? I’m guessing nowhere. So while ya’ll are sitting in front of your home computers talking smack Auburn will still be recruiting the country’s most elite players. War Eagle!

The ignorant comments from fans are plentiful that’s for sure. It amazes me that people are so absorbed in themselves that if someone makes a choice they don’t agree with, well then it must be because they are stupid or financially compensated. Get real! These are kids playing a game, and just because one decided to reevaluate a previous decision doesn’t make them stupid… It makes them human! We all made life changing decisions at that age, but our choices weren’t put on display for everyone to scrutinize!! Because this young man is blessed with talent he isn’t entitled to change his mind?? Calloway and Yeldon did last year.. Right? Oh but that’s ok because they chose the way YOU wanted them to??? Just because some of you have an unrealistic obsession with a particular school doesn’t mean everyone else does or should! Changing his mind doesn’t make him a liar and it doesn’t make him a loser and neither does getting a tattoo! These are kids..just trying to make a decision on what’s best for their future! SHAME on all of you that criticize him for making a choice he is free to make! He may flip 10 more times and so what if he does!?!?! I sure hope none of your children are ever subjected to an onslauht of morons like these some of these football players have been! When fans make ignorant comments it embarrasses the schools you represent! Stop being sore losers and move on! It’s the nature of the game! War Eagle Ruben.. I hope you make your home at Auburn, but if not I wish you all the success in the world!

@ tampabayirish

With all the trouble the irish have been into lately.All the money ND makes off Television contracts,tell them to spend alittle bit themselves.Now we all know the SEC has never spent a dime on buying players.The SEC is the cleanest conference in college football…

This is another article that simply reminds us that these are 17 year old kids- not adults. They are still prone to make mistakes like we did at their age. The only difference is we made our mistakes in front of our friends and families. Now, due to social networking and the internet kids make mistakes in front of the whole world.

This whole story smells of “SEC under the table money.” Auburn outbid Alabama and the contract is the new ink.

And as far as who paid for the tat is concerned: look at his right shoulder. He already had tats, so it isn’t unreasonable to assume that he or his family have the means to pay for one. Not all black football players come from dirt-poor families, y’know.

He’s going to look funny with that tat when he changes his verbal three more times before NSD and he winds up playing for Clemson.

When he gets caught for selling weed out his dorm and has to transfer to north alabama state he will have to feel some regret.

How is that person in high school? Running backs of the non-scholarship variety have to be scared to death.

Get a college tattoo after you do something at that college. Not before you ever enroll there. Too much can happen, and you are just inviting karma to mess with you when you do this.

This is one of those stories that causes you to shake your head and wonder when young people either a) develop long-term thinking or b) allow common sense to come into play.

Had he gone to Ohio State, he could have gotten a tattoo free. But by going to Auburn, he gets paid enough cash to afford it himself.
