2015 should be a big year for us coming off of last year. It's always the year after a big year like that when you really start to get the attention of some big time players. Even with the year we had, our staff was still playing catchup for the most part in recruiting this year. That's why we came so strong toward the end. If not for the season we had, we wouldn't have nearly this good of a class. You'd think the team that just played in the NC game would be able to pick and choose, but they still had a ton of ground to make up on a lot of guys. Some they did, some they didn't. And if we make another run to the playoffs this year, that will help even more, and set us up to keep it rolling in the coming years.

It's really amazing that the two teams from Alabama have played in the last 5 NC games and won 4 of them. Recruiting between us and them is going to be intense in the next few years, as if it hasn't already been.

I agree with all of you that we may not be #1 on the list of our top guys for 2015. But we are "top 3" in a majority and that is just something we will have to fight being Auburn University and not a Flagship school.

Wants to take his time. I can post quotes as long as they are directly from the recruit right?

So what he's saying is we are in the top as in his top 7 or top 10 not "definitely at the top" as in we are the leaders? What a misleading tweet BMatt247.

Damn. Do work Gus, do work.
