If Robinson, Stevens and Walker all get in we will be fine and I actually like this better. Smith coming in the Winter could be great for us since that gives us another receiver next spring that we won't have to sign in this up coming class. Of all the positions for someone not to make it in at, Smith is probably the best to come in the winter since he is a third quarterback and fourth receiver.
E-Rob is iffy also.

that's why I mentioned if those three got in. Robinson is the one I was most excited about but overall, receiver isn't a huge need like running back is/was.

More reps for NM and JJ. Smith is a beast though. Hope he comes in this winter.

Let's not make dumb statements

WR is probably the biggest need on our offense right now for depth purposes. We have some 5-6 scholarship receivers at the moment.

DCraig talks about it literally every day during practice with recruits parents talking about how much he hates have zero depth. Huge selling point


If we only pull in 2 receivers of our 4, we are fricked WR wise

I figured Marcus Davis would be at slot receiver too? Stevens and Walker are both strong giving us at least 7 or 8 receivers going into fall and Davis would make 8 or 9.

Meanwhile, at running back, we literally have 1 with SEC experience and 2 with college experience. Cam, Barber and Ford really need to come in and contribute now.

Right now we barely have a 2 deep and we want to redshirt guys like Marcus Davis. If one or both of ERob and Smith don't qualify we have some problems at WR depth wise.

Just not where you want to be especially if you run a number of 3 receiver sets

I expect Barber will become a favorite early on. I know CAP has JUCO experience but Peyton is a beast and can pretty much match Lawson in the weight room. His BP and Squat #'s are almost identical. Check out his SR highlights if you get a chance. I saw him while watching Lawson last year and couldn't believe I had not heard of him prior to.

I don't see Barber being a main back this year unless he truly breaks out (doubtful) but I am more excited about him than any back since Michael Dyer


CAP is legit and going to run like a champ this year though and Tre can get it done. RB won't be a holy shite awesome position but we are pretty damn solid for now

Slow down there. Barber isn't jumping over CAP this year. And I'm a big fan of Barber.

Someone invited me to the Auburn Freaks group on facebook. It is AUFamily on steroids


They are all "shocked" Jason Smith isn't qualifying. Clearly they haven't been reading my posts since february. I wish I had a rivals account still where I could push it over there. I am feeling like rubbing it in their faces

Uzomah and Fulse will be in the slot much of the time, which helps with this. WR depth isn't a problem this year, but in the future it gets a little dicey - we have a lot of JRs at WR/TE.

He's from that area. He is being a Georgis state homer.

They're posting pictures in the live updates thread on 247 and Jeremy Johnson has put on some good weight. I remember seeing pictures of him last year and he looked really skinny.

Some current commits there working on some recruits - Gabe Wright was talking to Mekhi Brown, who's a '15 bama commit.

Stephen Roberts was talking to Craig for a while.

Care to share the photos?


Anyone see photos of Tre Williams and think that considering the already elite level he plays at, a S&C program will make him ridiculous?

If these need to be deleted by a mod, go for it.

Gabe and Mekhi




Gabe and Monty




JJ and Jason Smith, I believe. I'm assuming he's saying, "how the f*** are you not gonna make your grades, man?"




Rashaan Evans(black shirt), Nick Ruffin behind him, DeShaun Davis in the War Eagle x2 shirt and JJ talking to Craig.

It sounds like the coaches were all over Prescodd today, so it sounds like they're putting the press on him.
