Regarding Jovon and Eric Swinney, Swinney said today that AU told him they're only taking 2 RBs, and when asked if he could commit to Auburn, he said he doesn't know and needs to find out. Just further proof that we're looking very good for Jovon

Nevermind. Found it LINK
quote:
Just spoke with Sandy Creek RB Eric Swinney here at the State Track meet (he is running second leg of the 4x100.) He says that Auburn is still recruiting him hard but the staff is also saying that they will take two running backs. Says he spoke to Auburn last night and will do so again today.
When asked if he knows whether or not he can commit to Auburn right now Swinney just shrugged his shoulders and said "Don't know. Gotta figure that out."

Can't delay getting on the Gus Bus when you have a chance.

^^^THIS DAMNIT^^^
Swinney and Jovon really shouldn't be a one or the other. They would only be here together one year. I'm telling you, Swinney is a special RB. Huge heart!!

I don't know why they wouldn't take 3 unless they are tight on spots and worried about another position. We will only have Pettway, Roc, and Barber next year. I don't know if KP is going to FB or not and Johnson may up at safety anyways. They may see Swinney just as a spot filler and hope he turns out good type for if we miss on Jovon.

We look pretty good on RB in 2016 too, FWIW. I don't like missing on talent but I think our system could make Jake Holland a 1k+ yard rusher.

quote:He has said he wants to take his OVs. He has 4 OVs left. With jucos being able to take their OVs now he can easily take them all and commit before his season starts in early to mid September. I don't understand the sentiment from some of our fans almost trying to pressure him to commit now.

Jake Holland played in the wrong position--he coulda been a great RB. On film, it always looks like he makes the first guy miss.

If all three want to come we would be silly not to take them. Jovon will only be here for two years probably and Johnson seems like a possible candidate to switch positions if needed.

So, since nobody has mentioned it, is Justin Hoke switching to AuburnUndercover?

quote:As Jonesy pointed out we are in good shape with some elite 2016 kids so I don't see those things being an issue. Also RB is one of the few positions a quality player can come in an play immediate so we can sign 2 or 3 elite kids for the 2016 class that would be able to contribute in the 2016 season.

quote:I did mention it as a praying to god that it does not happen. Based on post by Ron and pretty good insider AU Girl17 the hires will shock everybody and are supposed to be pretty big. Sounds like it's a done deal and maybe just waiting on technicalities to iron out. Hoke, while a surprise would not be a shock, nor is he big enough for the apparent build up. Also Hoke is still writing articles for AUR. I doubt he would still be doing that if he was the new guy with it being as close to done as Ron and AU Girl make it sound.

I used to look forward to your post's.

For some reason, I have a hard time believing the hires for a AU recruiting and athelics news website are going to shock me but I maybe wrong.

Doesn't matter.
If, in the end, the coaches realize they have room for Swinney we'll just step in and "Tre Mason/Peyton Barber" Ole Miss yet again.
