re: 2016 Auburn Football Recruiting Thread

I'll makes sure to steer clear of you in order not to offend. I thought you were capable of taking a meaningless jab on an Internet message board we've always gotten along, I'm not sure why you think I would choose now to make anything personal

I plan on gill netting on Lake Lanier this Fall. Any tips or tricks?

Denson was a 2* or unranked WR when we got him outa Hoover. Too bad he blew his knee. Think Amari Cooper was similar and Sammie Coats was a 3* we stole from USM.

I think WR and DL are the two hardest positions to project from high school to college.

McClain's tape looks pretty legit. Big kid who can run, catches with his hands, sleeve game strong.

Denson got a big bump when he committed to us and
Then showed out at a 7v7 tournament.

But on the flip side. How much did he contribute to Auburn on the field?

Yes, I fully understand he was injured.

Auburn does its selling in the fall with its performance on the field and game day atmosphere. Having been on a lot of college campuses and being from NY, it's easy to understand this.

We are nearly equidistant from some state school powerhouses that negative recruit the shite out of us, ie NFL track record, Muschamp will be gone, inconsistent record, defense of late. When everywhere a player visits they hear that shite about us, it can be impactful. I believe we do it to a degree but we get ganged on. FSU stock has risen with Jimbo, UGA where we usually get our share is getting tough with Pruitt and rising Tennessee pillaging. Mississippi is tougher. Etc.

In a state like Louisiana, if you go to LSU, you are a news media darling and a state hero. With Bama the way they are right now, choosing us can be seen as risky and if you ball out for auburn in a game, your news article will come after one highlighting a Bama players performance on al.com and on the news. It's the way it is.

Also, the town of auburn itself is not for everyone. Toomers is far from USC's bright lights of LA, it's not Athens or even the bar scene of Tennessee. a lot of these players like that big spotlight and they like being a big deal to a lot of people. I don't know if its changed but I remember one summer in auburn and there wasn't shite going on. That's why we go for these lunch pal to work types. you either like the feel of auburn when you're there and realize we have Leninism coaching, or you don't.

So when fall gets here and we're going in dry on these other programs, our stadium is rocking, we're all over espn with a revamped hard hitting defense and an offense lighting up the scoreboard, and a campus abuzz each week, we'll make our money. For now, we get a few loyalists who like our depth chart (Stove) we find our couple gems through summer camps where Craig is literally throwing to these WRs and I trust that evaluation, and we get some parents in our pocket that like our genuine staff over hood rat glory NFL pipeline shite villes which will pay dividends near NSD.

It can be the smallest moment, a miniscule event that makes a player choose a school..I like when those happen in December and January where other schools have little time to shoot that down.

I am deploying late August to a remote area in the Pacific with little internet and no tv until March. fricking March, the entire season! It's okay to be negative as we've whiffed on some big dogs, sure. But let's not act like we still have half a class to fill and we're going mizzou on the rest. We might fade with him but we're in frickin Garys Top 3. We won't finish with a number one class but we won't finish frickin 15th.

Now let's just field an improved defense with some energy and get a couple stud frickin DTs and a safety.

You're supposed to be a beacon of positivity, emitting only lake vibes and words of wisdom. We're already berated by the Randy's, CPA's, and such

Good luck on your deployment.

I think the frustration is that most of the guys we are recruiting this fall were on campus last fall. They've been on visits, done the family thing, and are still slow playing us. Last year we were everyone's mistress

Have a safe trip. We will cover for you here.
