Gibson is a WR by the time he finishing college unless he has dramatic improvement in the mechanics department

My money is teams like Tennessee and tOSU recruit him as a QB all the way through NSD.

I guess my above post was so brilliant everyone is so taken by it they can't respond.

After the recruits see the Kiffin Offense they won't be flipping offensive players from anyone good.

Flips are always longshots so saying they are the top possible flips isn't saying much. It's not completely unreasonable to think JR or KJ could flip. You never know.

Interesting that Bama thinks Terry Godwin is flappable as well. Our staff has said the same thing multiple times. I haven't seen anything recently I wonder if we're still actively pursuing him. E, can you weigh in?

Yes we are actively pursuing Godwin. He has not interviewed in a while with any site which is why you have not heard much on him.

With that said, it appears he is more flipable to Bama as he has visited the Empire with 2 of his last 3 visits which were done over a 2 week span. He has not visited AU in 2 and a half months. He's one of those personal high priority kids on my list that AU needs to get to BCW.

If we don't get Godwin I'd MUCH rather have him at UGA or Bama than anywhere else. He's not a guy that is a great route runner and will get open on his own. He has to have plays drawn for him to excel and he's an awful fit as a WR in those offenses. So, fine with me if he goes there if not with us.

He may not hold it against us, but had Ricky been here and doing well things could have been very different.

That's more of a Ricky problem than an Auburn problem. Maybe he should ask Ricky why Ricky didn't take advantage of an amazing second chance.

Per AUC

Deondre Francois
-AU very interested in DF (very likely #3 on the uncommitted board)
-Likely visit in June (If he comes and balls out at the AU QB camp on June 10th he could move up)
-live arm
-tight spiral that can do well in any weather
- Highlights for those that have not watched DF

Lamar Jackson
-WVU likely leads but AU could and would be a factor if they want LJ

-5* DB Tarvarus McFadden expected for BCW

4* OG/DT Kendrick Norton
-FSU commit
-will visit for BCW
-AU recruiting him at DT
-Teammates of Ben Edwards and Holland
-Most feel Norton projects as an OG
-BCW will be 2nd visit to AU this Spring

-4* 2016 WR Nate Craig wants to be at BCW but does not know if he can make it

above parenthesis are my inputs FWIW

quotes about Sean White from his former teammate 2016 4* WR Sam Bruce

---

Auburn is getting a phenomenal quarterback.”

“He’s a smart player, strong arm, great leader.”

“A lot of people underestimate him. I think he’s athletic enough to play in the SEC. He can definitely get the extra yards if he has to. Me personally, I think his strength is his arm."

“What throw does he make the best? I’d have to say they’re all great. He’s stays after practice and hones his skills all the time. He’s always putting in the extra work.

His DL film is pretty good. Looks like a good DT. Strong, quick, and good with his hands. Oh, and hes massive. The rest of his technique is raw but would be excellent in run support early on.
