Oh, I see how it is. You troll the SECr/rb posting Gifs and jokes. Meanwhile a few of us know more about these kids than we do our own children. Then in mid January you pop in to ask who we finish with, and we share. Only to be scorned when Aubie jr. signs with Bama after home schooling from the AU Athletic Complex...

Duly noted. Per AUC it's 2 not counting Star prospects.



I was joking.

Please go over to AUF and tell Mikey that we only plan on signing 2 linebackers though

Nah, I won't scorn any of you who offer info and ideas of where a kid might go due to a source or hunch. It isn't easy being 100% when a teenager is involved.

I just decided that a recruit not signed to a LOI can do as he pleases. If they are dishonest than that is on them. I don't consider them Auburn Tigers till they sign with us.

Like I said I enjoy the profiles, videos, articles, etc brought by all.

btw I don't troll the recruiting board. Okay, I try not to anyway...

As I typed I figured that's what you might be referring but I decided to play it safe with my post. It would not surprise me if you come across a source at some point.

I respect Mikey but he got me to thinking. He has his own opinions, which we all do, but quite a bit of his were completely opposite of the plans the staff had all year per Hoke and AUC. It's interesting how most of what the staff planned or expected last February for the 2014 class actually came to pass on NSD.

Is that not how everybody follows recruiting? If not, I've been doing it wrong this whole time.

I am 99% positive that Mikey is a troll. He seems to follow recruiting yet 9/10 posts criticize the staff, criticize what people report about the staff or criticize people who know stuff


He isn't even necessarily a negabarner. I don't get it

Finally!! GENE's WINS!!!

He hates what hadbecome of AU LBing corps. in HIS opinion, HE WANTS to sign 4. He only started repeating it constantly because it chaps two certain peoples butts when he says it. I know because he told me about 3 years ago, we get a good laugh each time.

He is just your average, run of the mill Grandfather. He is a good guy. And while his opinions are not always shared by some, I have yet to see him cuss anyone on AUF. Yeah, he is the one with issues.

Yeah. He is by no means a bad guy or a troll. His opinions are just a bit off. He's damn good with the 24 limit and back counting though.

Anyway I'm sure the rest on the AU SECr don't want to read about AUF poster stuff so let's get back to recruiting. I did a conservative projection of our 2015 using 23 signees on the class calculator. It came out to be a bit over 280 points and would have been a top 5 class last year.

Per AUC, the AU staff sees Drew Richmond as the next Greg Robinson. Drew has really liked hearing that. He's a big G-Rob fan.

It may be the O & B glasses talking but I don't see AU having to go past the #3 OT on their board to get their 2 OTs for this class.

For those worried about D'Andre Walker being a DE, Per National talent evaluator and AUC reporter Keith Niebuhr, Walker has the same frame as Dee Ford had and is just as fast now. Could be crazy good with 25 more pounds added. As always TIFWIW.

More on Walker. He's #2 on the staff's DE board behind Natrez Patrick. Should be an AU/UGA battle.

2016 Safety Stephen Davis Jr notes per AUC LINK

-Already has 10 offers
-AU, UGA, SCe, and UTk stand out
-He had an eye popping 110 tackles at safety as a soph along with2 INTs, and 4 forced fumbles
-Wants to play safety but knows he'll probably grow into an LB
-May come to A-Day and probably will camp at AU this summer.

Highlights

This was from Rivals last month re: kicking him out of R250:

quote:

Walker had a decent junior season, but because of his size is still a bit of a tweener between linebacker and defensive end. With other players at the position showing out at marquee events, we decided to take a more cautious approach having now gotten an extended look at most of the top prospects in the state of Georgia." - Wommack -


Not sure what "marquee events" they are talking about. He was All-State. Film looks good.

I agree E, we will take 2 OT's, an interior and save a spot for Carr unless we get a weird vibe or he just waits too long.

DE has become a position that is deep every year. It takes a real talent to stand out from that crowd.

They hadn't started yet, unless they're reaching back to last year, which would be pointless.

Maybe they kicked him out for claiming to be 213lbs
