Bama is turning up the heat on Evans. They moved him ahead of Carter for one of their last few spots.

Doesn't really matter to me. I think we beat them for Evans, straight up. They're not 100% on anyone they want. We've beaten them for more than our fair share, and that was with the last staff that couldn't actually coach. This staff can recruit and coach, and now has results to show for it.

and who out of the guys we have right now did we straight beat Alabama one-on-one?

Then compare that to who is playing for them right now.

Off of the top of my head we beat them for:
Therezie
Craig Sanders

Off of their roster that they beat us:
Yeldon
CJ Mosley
Cyrus Kouandijo
Christion Jones
Dee Hart
Xzavier Dickson
Reuben Foster
OJ Howard

I just don't see your argument

Per AUC we are recruiting Jordan Prestwood as a TE. He is an EE.

Also we offered 2015 4* DT-QB Kai Locksley

Don't know yet but he wants to play QB in college. Also the staff wants 2 QBs in this class or the next class.

Why is it such a hard sell on Evans? Having watched our defense, he has to know LB is a position of desperation for us and that in EJ's system the right player will shine?

I would not say it's hard at all given most think we lead right now.

I really think Evans signs with AU. I didn't feel that way 2-3 months ago, but Gus and Crew have really impressed him.

Am I reading this correctly? DT and a QB?


eta: Clicked on thread and see it is dual threat...
I was like thinking wtf, a defensive tackle and a QB?

Evans wasn't going to stay in Auburn and play for a mediocre team. Now that we're competing for the SEC title and in the top 10, we're a much more intriguing option to him. I think the atmosphere this weekend and at the Iron Bowl will help a ton. I think we get him

Yeldon - only cost them $360k
CJ Mosley - yep
Cyrus Kouandijo -c'mon for us to even have a SHOT with him was big. No way we were getting him.
Christion Jones - His coach blackmailed him to go to Bama. If he didn't, he'd be in trouble for the weed.
Dee Hart- yep
Xzavier Dickson- we were never in it for him
Reuben Foster- Yep. But in reality all they did was take back a kid we flipped.
OJ Howard- yep


Guys who Bama recruited/offered:
Owens, Wright, Sanders, Whitaker, Therezie, Dismukes, Young, Monty, Shon Coleman, Quan Bray, Holsey, Patrick Miller, Carl Lawson

Why can't we just admit when they beat us out for a recruit? Are we that insecure about our recruiting?

Because that would be ignoring the reality of the situation.

And I do not consider it insecurity. I consider it having your eyes open and knowing the landscape around you.
