re: 2015 Auburn Football Recruiting Thread

But before Boom, we wanted him and weren't going to get him.

That's a tough definitive statement to make and stand by. By all acounts before Boom was hired nobody including any of the staff had a clue where Walker was going and AU was in the thick of it. Given that being the reality of Walker's recruitment at the timre it's illogical to pin a miss on Garner there.

I just hate having to come from behind so late in the process while all of our rivals have studs racked up

I don't like it either but it's pointless for a rational poster as yourself to go nega ape shite before the faxes are in. And even then still may not given the position he has us in with 3 of our top DL targets from 2016.

After what they did Sims this year Bama they wouldn't waste his skill set.

How many designed running plays do you remember seeing their offense run?

Most of his yards came primarily through scrambles, and even then his rushing statistics were "meh" at best.

You would think so. However, bama uses some "method" to pull kids that make no sense going there. Phillips Sims comes to mind...........among others.

Bolded because I wanted to stress that I fully agree with your post, specifically that part.

Check 2016 thread bruh. I posted that info this morning.

If it was stickied I would have, but it's easy to overlook that thread.

Definitely enjoyed the phrase and will use it again. I probably won't keep the e on shite, though.

That does not matter.

It does when you're selling a kid a recruiting pitch.

"Come to __________, where we won't necessarily design running plays to fit your dual threat nature..."

quote:

---

Just because you have an athletic QB does not mean you have to use designed run plays.

---

Like I said, it helps with the recruiting pitch and selling an offense to a dual threat quarterback. Some "dual threats" are better passers and only considered dual threat because they can beat you with both, but Jawon Pass doesn't fit that category, IMO of course. Jeremy Johnson would more so fit that category, as would Blake Barnett and Deshaun Watson.

If anyone wants to believe Lane Kiffin did not get the most out of Blake Sims this year in his development as a QB then they are smoking some serious hardcore shite.

---

Who said that?

I think we can all agree that Gus Malzahn would design the best offense to fit a guy like Jawon Pass, mainly because that's how his offense is and that he has done it in the past.

I seriously mean this and am not saying it to argue but I do in fact disagree. The O coaches at Oregon do as good if not better than Gus in that aspect IMO. Yeah I know, #blasphemy

I mainly meant the aforementioned statement in relation to the top 5 list.

Gus Malzahn vs Lane Kiffin vs Scot Loeffler vs Bobby Petrino vs Larry Fedora

If the kid wants his running ability to be a focal part of the offense then yes, Gus. If he wants to be a pass first QB and let the run fit in naturally then you can't go wrong with any of the 3.
