He's gone IMO the cb's are rolling in and the staff offered another cb after they said last week Bridges would likely be the only cb we take. Just makes since right now that he's flippin.
Grimes says Braden Smith is going to play early. Said he could be like Grob 2 years and done. 6'6 305 benching 625
Fwiw i'm changing my prediction on Francois from AU to FSU. I didn't like the tone of his latest interview. To me it sounds like he's really on the fence both schools are even right now. I think the hometown team will win out in a coin flip.

So are we all in for Slayton and this other guy now?
I hope Ruffin, Roberts, and Bessent can all live up to their hype sooner rather than later.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have DF. But if we lose him and pull the trigger on Jackson, we will be glad we did in about 3 years. I think he is the perfect guy to have in the program right now, based on being in the 2015 class. With Queen and White in the same class or one class ahead, if we decide in a few years that things really do work better when we have a run-first guy back there, we will be thankful to have him.

they said last week Bridges would likely be the only cb we take if we keep him, otherwise we take 2.

NFL doesn't allow 2 years and done... you have to be a minimum 3 years out of high school to declare.
GRob was a redshirt year plus 2 playing LT.

True freshman offensive lineman Braden Smith will get an early opportunity to show he’s ready to play when Auburn opens preseason camp in early August.
Offensive line coach J.B. Grimes says Smith, from Olathe, Kan., is no normal freshman. He stands 6-foot-6, weighs 305 pounds and bench presses more than 600 pounds.
“We have to find out very quickly about Braden,” Grimes said. I think that kid has the ability to play. I’ve watched the way he runs and bends and how strong he is. We have to figure out whether he’s going to play or not.”
The first question for Grimes to answer will be if Smith is ready to play at a high level. The next question for Grimes to answer will be if Smith will play enough to make it worthwhile.
“I don’t think you run him out there for 10 snaps and blow a redshirt season, but on the other hand, he may be like Greg Robinson. He might be one of those guys that, if you redshirt him, he plays two seasons and he’s done anyway. That remains to be seen.”
Robinson, an All-America left tackle season, was chosen by the St. Louis Rams with the second pick in the NFL draft.
