IIRC Gus sells the opportunity to compete for for playing time, not playing time itself.
Any coach worth a damn would take that approach. You never promise playing time. You tell them if you come in and work your arse off and are good enough to help the team win games, then you'll get it.

Granted our QBs on roster were bad which warranted about the most opportune time to promise a kid they would start but don't think Gus won't promise a kid something if he is not pretty certain it will come to pass.

You would too if it was Russell Wilson you were trying to bring in. There wasn't one QB on the roster that came close to his ability and skill. Gus was right to want to say that imo.

This is true. Bielema told RW that he'd be the starter, no doubt. I know for an absolute fact that RW preferred to come to Auburn, but w/ only one yr left he had to have some guarantee that he'd be the guy. Chizik wouldn't say those words.

Per 247 Auburn will get his other OV. It may be before his OV to Bama but those are his last 2 OVs. Quotes from Rudolph LINK
On what team is after him the hardest
quote:
(Wide receivers) coach Dameyune Craig is telling me about how this stuff (with my recruiting) maybe is getting hectic because I’m hearing a lot from different coaches. He said they can offer me what no one else can do. He tells me to take my time. I’m friends with Marcus Davis who plays there.

what role does Randolph fill? Is he an outside guy or more of a speedy slot guy?

quote:Long term #1 WR. DQ will be 1 and done. We got some #2 & #3 WRs on the team now but Gus wants to have a true #1 WR on the field each year to balance the run game.

Rivals says Dontavius Russell has been paying a lot of attention to us, selling him on playing time and monty adams' success.

So I saw Harris signed a financial aid agreement with LSU. Hadn't heard of that before.
What do we reckon Gus thinks of this new option? Any recruits it might be useful to pursue this with?

All correct from what I read. Only benefit for the school seems to be unlimited contact with the recruit.
