If the scan isn't of a knee, then I don't know shite about it That does look incredibly similar to my snowboarding friend. He had to wear a shoulder immobilizer for 3 weeks then he had about 3 more weeks of rehab after that. Not bad for a broken bone.

It's weird that almost all of Auburn's recruits are facing injuries.


I knew the coaches were going with the philosophy of breaking them down and than building them back up again. I just thought it was supposed to be mentally. These coaches are friggan serious, yo.

collarbone is nothing to get healed up. It only hurts for a day or two when you break it because your ears are ringing so bad. I was playing golf 2 weeks after I broke mine though I couldn't take the club all the way back.

I raced motocross for 17 years. I have broken my collarbone 4 times. It heels fast.

Very easy bone to fracture. Once it is hurt, it is also easy to Re-injur it.

I always wished I had the balls to ride motocross for 30-40 years, but sadly I am still a pussy. I hate falling on dirt. I still ride for fun.

I rode in AZ in the riverbed and was having a good time. I took a turn and out of nowhere I lose it and end up in a bush. I head back to my bro's truck and apologized for dumping his bike. I saw his eyes get big and staring at my arm. I looked down and a branch was sticking out of it...

He would have faired better under Chizik when they didn't require tackling.

He probably would be practice MVP even with a broken clavicle

My dad recently bought an RM-250, modeled after Carmichael's bike. I've always been partial to four strokes but I'm really digging this bike.

Size-Strength-Speed
Has adequate height and a wiry frame, but short legs. Flashes a good burst outside and can get the corner quickly. Runs with a low center of gravity and very good balance. He will consistently win foot races against top-level guys.
Ball Skills
Is showcased on this team as the feature Wildcat QB so every play starts with the ball in his hands.
Versatility
Essentially an improvising tailback playing from the shotgun. Whether as a designated runner or creator, shows good suddenness through the hole and can slice through the small creases just as they open. A sharp, decisive runner who shows sudden downhill burst out of his cuts. Doesn't take wasted lateral steps and squares up quickly slipping through in-line gaps. Runs with great body control, vision and lateral agility jump-cutting and side-stepping the initial traffic. Doesn't give defenders a clean shot. Need to further evaluate reps on defense as this player is featured on offense. Can be a bit of a short-stepper which gives the appearance that there is a little hindrance of lateral smoothness from a transitional standpoint.
Big Play Ability
Feet, hips, burst and ability to rapidly reach top speed are going to entice coaches to move him to defense. Return upside is huge as he is a natural open-field runner. Not a physical presence, but doesn't lack willingness to fight for extra yard or engage in contact -- if you can get him cornered.
Bottom Line
Truitt may be this year's version of 2013 Ohio State signee Jalin Marshall, although we would argue Truitt has better top-end speed. Will be a slot/scatback or corner at the next level. Good looking player and due to speed alone we expect him to see an uptick in recruiting attention.

Dylan Moses picked up his 10th offer from Georgia Friday night after measuring 6-foot and 217 pounds and running a 4.44 40-yard dash at their camp.

Damn and he is only 15. A 2017 prospect.

Looking at his highlights especially the track meet. He looks pretty stout. He has some speed.


eta: what's sad is it looks like he plays QB better than the two who started for us last year...

Would love to land Truitt. We still haven't seen what a Tavon Austin-type of athlete can do in his offense at Auburn

I always raced RM's. I left the sport in 1999. I had two bikes, a enclosed trailer and more parts that I ever needed. Sold it all to a family in Texas.

I ended my career in Rockford Illinois. Raced a weekend and spent Sunday night in the ER with one of my ribs sticking out of my skin and the other part sticking in my lung. I hit a 60 foot triple that I had jumped 100 times that weekend. Unfortunately for me, there was someone else in front of me that was not so consistent. He came up short and I landed on him. I was done after that.

I love that sport. It is the only sport that I would give up fishing for to make a living if I had the youth/ability. I was never scared. Which was why I was decent and hurt all the time.

I left before Yamaha released the yz450f which was the first of the racing 4 strokes.

I am football deprived right now. I have been watching some old games and highlights from the past few years

OMac deserves more credit than he gets from us. Dude made some unreal plays for us in some very important times.
