I don't know that Barrett is "more talented"; he's a bit of a wild-card as he's been seen as an ATH previously before his offer list blew up. I'm not sure if he's had much if any camp exposure as a QB yet, so that will be the thing to look out for this spring/summer.

I still don't know why we didn't offer and push for Felipe Franks (LSU commit) harder. Don't forget that we are also still technically in it for Dwayne Haskins who has stated that he plans on visiting. While he's sending out a ton of pro-LSU vibes right now, I doubt both he and Franks sign with the same school regardless of that they're saying right now.

Not sure the point of that statement. Gus and co had to get Nick because they did not like anyone we already had in terms of being a quality SEC QB starter.

I'm talking about when watching their tapes, you can see a noticeable difference in zip between the two. I seriously don't think I have seen an arm in the '16 class that is purely as strong as Barrett's. His tape reminds me of Vick in HS.

You saw Mike Vick's high school tape & analyzed it?...Damn you started young. You had to be in the 10-12 range then.

Notes from AUC

-AU has an excellent shot at getting John Broussard
-Source close to JB says he's been recruiting other players to go to AU

-Jawon Pass seems very interested in AU & has expressed that to the sdtaff in talking to them since the Tuesday visit

AU could become a factor w/ Tennessee commit Austin Kendall & FSU commit Malik Henry
-AU working hard to get MH on campus soon and chances of getting him could go up if they do. Longshot now

-The working number for signees in this class is 21
-That was the number this time last year also but we ended up signing 27

-2017 DL Ryan Johnson, who AU offered this week, grew up an AU fan & has AU his early leader

-Next Saturday should be a big target visitor day (Has the feel of a pre Big Cat Weekend)

AU offered a super fast white boy from the 2017 class today. 4* OLB Nate McBride. He's 6'2 220. He ran a 10.58 100 meter & 21.3 200 meter this week at a track meet. In doing so he beat the #1 ATH in the 2016 class Bama commit Demetris Robertson at the meet. I don't know anything about track but those times sound fast, especially for a whitey. A source in his recruitment says Nate is open despite the early crystal balls to UGA.

Exactly why all the wailing by "grown men" over comments made in the UNC article was so funny!

If Pass is that petty, offering later will play out as a tactical move to see if we really want him, or not.

That would make too much sense though.

That is absolutely blazing for a HS kid. For a sophomore in high school that likely is top 5-10 in the country.

So you didn't start seriously following recruiting until you were 18?

I remember watching video of quentin groves, king Dunlap, Brandon Jacobs. Watch jarrod Britt a couple times in person cause he was coming to auburn. This was the 2003 class I believe. Always bought the lindys and Athlon magazines too and read those.

Anyone else catch that Ken Carter was hired full time as off the field assistant at AU?

Looks like Marlon Davidson and potentially Mack Wilson are gonna be Tigerz

Assistant to getting his little brother on the team? Smart hire, he has to have been the most qualified candidate for that job

3* DT David Marshall has AU #1 with bama close behind. Per AL

Wouldn't mind landing this kid at all. Looks really strong and has a nice jump of the ball. He can also move to be 6'4 250

You're good with taking a three star?!

Am I reading that right or am I that drunk?

I wouldn't go that far but hiring KC as a full time quality control coach couldn't hurt with MD.

Also be praying for both KC & MD as their mom just passed away.
