Arie kouandjio is no longer considering cal. He will announce his decision Wednesday between Alabama, new mexico and southern cal.
For all of the somber news regarding Keenan Allen and Shon Coleman, the good news moving forward is that things are still seemingly in good shape with Arie Kouandijo and most expect that he will sign with the Tide. That's news for us for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, our staff has long had Arie as the top lineman on our board, ahead of both Coleman and Stone. Second, and just as important, however, Arie's younger brother Cyrus will almost certainly follow in his older brother's footsteps, and some think he may very well be the #1 overall prospect in the nation next year. Of all of the ones left on the board, Kouandijo is the one we absolutely must get.

news on arie

"It went great," said Arie Kouandjio about his visit to USC. "I really liked the environment in L.A. It’s so different from the East Coast. The people seem a bit more laid-back and easy going and it just seems brighter. I also really liked the campus. Plus, before we left I went to check out Manhattan Beach, which was really beautiful. I really liked all the players. They just seemed like…"
The problem I have with that though
Is would you want to play for a man with a lack of character and morality(Kiffen), or would you want to play for a man that will make you a better man and a better football player, plus be a stronger draft prospect not just due to ur athleticism, but your character as well(Saban) I choose the Second one there, it not homerism, its the plain and simple truth.

Empirically Denied
For whatever reason, that d-bag had a lot of good commitments at UT and will get a lot of good commitments at USC. It’s hardly inconceivable that a recruit would pick USC over Bama.
Note To Arie and other USC recruits:
Lane Kiffin took a dump on his former players and his own brother-in-law. Just what do you think he will do to you?
I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.
This.
We have about as much stored hate for Kiffin now as you guys do.
Only this time, he`s going to be running his mouth off about us and the rest of the PAC rather than random SEC opponent of the week.
All your recruit are belong to Cal.
its mind blowing
don’t know how much of his antics you got to see but he will screw up in some major ways and it will be bad.

Everyone heard Kiffin last year at UT.
I`m actually located in New Orleans, so it was front page news most of the time here.
My big wish is that U$C being as prone to NCAA violations as they usually are, will endure many years of probation under Lane.
All your recruit are belong to Cal.
I think thats a given
Is it this month they have to go to the principals office of the ncaa. I would like to see them get some kind of punishment but I just don’t know if that will happen. They threw basketball under bus to try to save football. If we fart and it smells funny we draw the ire of the ncaa but they flat out throw their poo like a monkey and still seem to come out clean.

Heck Yeah!
Arie is goin to be a good one, and I hope his brother comes next year, that dude is a complete monster, just think, Arie, Cyrus, Jones, Fluker, Warmack, man no one could get to the QB then. And about Keenan, I’m pretty sure Saban stated to him that if you don’t want to be part of this Alabama tradition, we don’t want you either, enjoy California and being 3rd in the PAC 10 every year Keenan.

Kouandijo
looks like priority one right now.
I was not aware of his brother. So maybe we lose one guy (Allen) because of his brother (Maynard) and then in turn gain an even better guy (Cyrus) because of his brother (Arie.) If that is how it plays out good for us.
I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.
Can I just fall asleep....
And wake up the day after signing day to avoid all of this drama and stress?
Fumbles. It was always Fumbles
Saban's got this.
I’ll just go to work and forget all of this stuff, right. Right? Ugh, I guess not.
This is good news.
…Kouandjio would be an awesome grab. His brother Cyrus is a complete monster. 6’7 322 lbs and runs a 5.0 40? That is almost freakishly unbelievable. http://rivals.yahoo.com/maryland/football/recruiting/player-Cyrus-Kouandjio-95796 It would seem Arie and Cyrus would pick the same school….
What's the "somber news regarding coleman"?
What you're seeing is team spirit. It's like the Holy Spirit, but more powerful.
