4 Star pretty much on every site. He will be a good one. We will be kicking ourselves if we do not get him, sorta like Ameer Abdullah

My thought exactly but this could be worse bc abdullah went out of the sec thank God but wilkins is staying in conference so our best bet would be to keep him. And if we don't get green and he leaves, Auburn will shallow at rb for a year or two after mason and CAP are gone. Speaking of green, any word on the in home visit tonight?

Wilkins injury is supposedly why we are so hesitant on him.

Ever wonder why he hasn't flipped yet since we cooled/had coaching changes? Nobody wants him right now

What was it exactly? I heard a broken leg.

I just hope we hold on to him regardless of the injury bc chances are he recovers and maybe even becomes a stud.

He broke the lower portion of his fibula. Right by his ankle, IIRC.

I think that could be the case if we didnt have two straight years of down classes in our pocket.

Yes, I know we were ranked high but too many of them are still not here or are not what we thought they were.

In essence, they were down classes..

Well Damn. That's rough. I still think we need to pursue it so he's playing for us and not against ujs on the off chance that he gets back to 100%.

I am not going to be upset if we take Wilkins but just seems like the coaches have higher priorities at the moment.

Peyton Barber from Milton is a stud. He went for 1700+ with 20 TDs or something like that in a high classification in GA. There is a reason UT austin and such are offering him. Considering he isn't a package deal with Lawson and only would be a minor help, his offer list is impressive

We still stand a great shot with Derrick Green. We may not lead but RB has been on him like white on rice and has hit it off with him. We will know more after his inhome visit news comes out

From what Ellitor said, it would seem that we are going after 1-2 guys for the OMAC role and 2 traditional backs as well (one being filled already by C-Payne) (E can correct me if I am misunderstanding what he said)

Wilkins is just lower on the board.


Also, Wilkins doesn't have any major Big 6 offers from before and plays in a low classification. Weird if he is such a can't miss why a lot of teams chose to miss him preinjury

Hmm. Maybe there is more to wilkins than just his highlights. But I do agree, peyton barber could make us all forget about ole dyer if we land him.

Just saw on Twitter that we may have to wait till tomorrow for the word on derrick green.

Gotta get me a side imagining unit. Hard to justify when I spend all my time flipping in 3ft of water or less.

How long before his mom again crushes our hopes and dream by saying, "hell no, he's not visiting Auburn"

Absolutely not.

RB is the easiest position to translate from high school to college.

I hope that is because his mom invited the coaches to sleep in a guest room because she loves them so much.
