I know he is supposed to be an ace recruiter, but after UT and USC how can any kid really trust or want to play under him. He was fired and denied access to the bus for crying out loud.

I'm really kinda surprised by the responses of some here. This is the big leagues and this is how the last 2-3 weeks plays out every year. Roc AIN'T going to alabama but Kiffin has a job to do. Did y'all expect him to just throw up his hands because Roc was committed to Auburn? For some here it's going to be a LONGGGGGG 3 weeks

Per the Bama recruiting thread, Gus has his in-home with Evans tonight. If true, I wonder why Gus is using it so early. Hopefully it goes well

We have our OV the last weekend before NSD I think which could explain it.

We get something better than an in home 1/31 and we have an inhome right before he goes to Tuscaloosa. Sounds smart to me

Roc seems happy with Auburn and we even have ESPN guys recruiting for us when they say "Roc fits perfectly in Malzahn's offense." Going to be a hard sell for Bama

Bama's players haven't had trouble getting to the league recently. Some have just underperformed when they got there.


IMO Bama doesn't do well in developing the players to succeed at the NFL level. They simply recruit SO DAMN WELL that the players can come in with the God-given talent they have, gain a little strength/weight, and they'll play well enough on that to get drafted, when combined with 21 other starters that are as highly recruited as they were.

Oops. Thought it was posted here...Gus is probably doing that to be the last thing Evans hears before his Bama OV tomorrow. Remember underrated Ace Recruiter Coach Lashlee and Star Developer Extrordinaire Coach Johnson can still see him a few more times.

Evans' AU OV is next weekend 1/24. He has 1/31 open.

Saban probably wants to see how recruits react to having his slimy new OC try to recruit them before he sends Kiffin out to see his real targets.

Quote from OXford coach when Kiffin went to see Roc per AUR. "you're wasting your time, Roc's solid to Auburn."

My buddy texted me that someone asked roc about kiffin in an interview and he responded with, "I don't know him"

Lol if true

but for reals, Gus being so adamant and prideful about his HS coaching days pays off with these other HS coaches. They respect Gus and look up to him. I'd bet Auburn's coaching clinic will be absolutely LOADED UP with coaches this year.

Roc - Not worried. Look at the log jam Bama has at RB. No idea how you can sell playing time.
Yeldon
Drake
Henry
Hart - not sure what is going on with this guy, defense, transferring, whatever
Fowler - I know he is more like a FB
Tenpenny
Kamara - is he coming back to the team?
Jones

Evans - I still think back to Kwon Alexander. Ideal situation for Kwon to come to AU, but the kid just did not want to be at Auburn. I cannot help but wonder if Evans feels the same way.

Doesn't stop 5* rbs from signing with them every year. Half the dumbasses get processed or moved to defense
