Harold Hallman and Kevin Greene were walk-ons in the 1980's.

Sometimes walk-on dreams DO come true.

But rarely... rarely.

Back to recruiting. This is a 2017 note but still interesting. AU now leads for 4 of the top 6 in state players in 2017

Benton
Nico
Alaric Williams
Jake Bentley (not sure we will take him)

and appear to be in the thick of it w/ the other 2 Will Ignont & Austin Troxell.
Anyone know where we stand w/ the other 4* we offerd in Ryan Johnson?

There are 2 other in state 4*s but we have not offered them yet: AJ Harris & Kendarian Handy-Holly

Quotes from Nico Collins per AU Rivals LINK
quote:

(Quarterback) Jeremy Johnson, I like him. He was awesome. He's a great player. He made some great throws. (Sean White) did good, too, but Jeremy is the real deal. He's a good player."

"Right now Auburn is at the top. Auburn, Georgia and Alabama are my top three right now, but Auburn is No. 1. I like Auburn. I like how they run their offense. They are a fast-paced team and I like their receivers. I can tell that their coach (Dameyune Craig) coaches them well. I don't plan on making a commitment until my senior year, but I like Auburn a lot right now.

That was my point, but to KK's point, it can happen.

I just hope if he plays, it's because he is SO damn awesome!

Not because everyone else isn't.

Keith CBed TaDarryl Marshall to AU & that's where things seem to be trending w/ him.

ETA: Hold part of that thought. Hoke says TMs grew up a big UT fan & his dad is one as well. Hoke's gut says UT right now.

Isn't TMarsh between UA, AU, GTech?


Also, would being a UTk fan just help steer him away from UA? #WishfulThinking

How many LB's are we looking to take this year. Just curious since it seems like we're going to take a commitment from Threat this early.

Don't know but am I wasting my time holding out hope for Joiner, Wilson, or flipping Quartermann?

We've been a long shot for KJ & SQ for a long time (I'm not even sure we are even recruiting SQ anymore). Mack may be a long shot as well although there has been no actual pay site info saying Bama leads. If the coaches can pull KJ or SQ it would be great but at this time I would not be wasting my time expecting or hoping for them.+

No. Does not have a legit Bama offer. They want to see him throw 1st. UT has always been in it & per Hoke he may not have the grades for GT.

Hey E; thoughts on the two new 6'4/6'5 twin OT's we offered? Their arms must be insanely long to match the staff's rigid length requirements, right?

Ask Keith. He's doing a recruiting chat. That's where the info came from. I just passed it a long.
