What is it with UGA and recruiting recently? I know they have always recruited well, but it has gone to a new level. I really thought with Gus, Craig, Garner, and now Muschamp we would have to turn kids away. Sure we lose a lot to bama, but now we seem to lose most head to head with uga, and even Tenn. Maybe I am to negative but it seems concerning.
It's been discussed here many times. Pruitt is damn good & is trying to lock down all the top recruits on D in Georgia.

One good year by Rocker has solidified him in the mind of Auburn fans as the greatest of all time. It is nuts


The guy is above average. If he was damn good he would have gotten another job in the NFL

Wut? The fact AU fans refuse to give him credit is nuts.

He is pretty good, I don't think anyone argues that. With talent, I trust that he can field a good and occasionally great DL. What he isn't though is a top 3 DL coach who also can recruit on a DCraig level.

Rocker is probably better than Garner, but if we were to get Rocker tomorrow, our DL play likely wouldn't be meaningfully different

I said he was good. You argued it. Now you say he is good. Okay.

You specifically said he was "damn good" which is easily interpreted as being viewed as an "elite coach"

I said he was only "pretty good" as an acceptable for a top school but by no means highly sought after

Just think what UGA could do with a Dream Team of top recruits!

He said damn good which is accurate. Not great but pretty good.

You said above average which I hear as not good but not bad.

If you are suggesting someone saying "damn good" is on par with "pretty good" you are insane. For example, I've never heard someone talk about "damn good" food who meant it was just above average to pretty good.


ETA: To make a point, I imagine if AU would need a new DL coach and had our pick of ANYONE at CFB level, AUCE05 would be excited if we chose Rocker. Which would suggest in AUCE05's mind he is a top/elite CFB DL coach

Oh. For the sake of all that is good, stop being me fellas. The semantics going back and forth here are not worth it.

To the rest of the board I apologize for rubbing off on these jabronis.

It just hard to melt about the class when we haven't done our annual "get rejected by 5* replace with unknown 2*/3*"
