Truth. Chizik could not close. And NEVER had a backup plan.

I remember waking up on signing day 2012 full of optimism only to have it all shot down besides Avery young.

How do you not remember Beasley? We pushed very hard for him. He was even listed as the #1 recruit in the nation by some BS recruiting site (cant remember which one). And unless people close to the situation were completely wrong, we were very much in it for Goldman,.... but don't let me contradict the great ellitor...
Either way, don't think people are crying, just thinking "what if"... no harm, no foul

We certainly led for Beasley. He may have committed then backed off. He was a legacy for God's sake and we didn't land him. We have missed on a lot of elite defensive recruits and people wonder why our defense has been bad since 2008.

Don't make this about me or try to claim I'm being elitist or ego driven. it's not about that for me and never is. I was simply reviewing facts on that class except Beasley.

Who's crying?... Simply stating that those were guys AU heavily pursued and had shots at signing.
Posted on 9/21/14 at 6:41 pm to lowspark12
A couple of early posts were crying in this thread although it could have been sarcasm since I am horrible on picking that stuff up. Either way I don't see the point in reflecting on what might have been but I'll shut up now and not bother you guys who want to reflect.

To be fair however I did tweet this weekend that DeRunya Wilson was a beast and that it was a mistake AU did not offer him.

Didn't that have to do with him being set on playing basketball too?

No shite but Chizik wasn't going to allow him to play both sports. When is the last time Auburn had a two sport guy, specifically football and basketball?
Posted on 9/21/14 at 7:32 pm to BowlJackson
I thought DeRunya was in the same year as Gus's first class not Chizik?
Just checked. He was in the class right after Gus was hired. We could have had him and really did not start talking to him til Gus was hired.

You're right. I still don't think Auburn is going to let a potential football star play basketball and risk getting injured or vice versa
