I mean he definitely seems like a bust candidate and everything you say may be true but how did you become privy to such information that nobody else seems to know about.
it's common info on the message boards...I remember also reading on the Bunker that he had a HORRIBLE attitude at the Auburn lineman camp this past summer (reason we cooled on him initially) because he wasn't named the MVP of the camp ('17 OT Tony Gray was) and he whined and moped about it.

I keep telling yall those ranking are arbitrary. They are subject to opinion which makes them subject to bias.

Really? Lot of AU, UGA, SEC people here and this is the first I, and apparently many others, have heard of those type of specifics.

But now both UGA and AU want him? I just find it odd considering all of the back and forth with this kid. He has this apparently bad attitude and no one wants him now everyone seems ok with and want to sign him. Just seems like his recruitment has been all over the place

So on what basis do you justify getting upset about recruiting? Do you do your own film eval on all of our potential recruits and commits?

Exactly.

He will just say recruiting is pointless then when team struggles he will judge development of players based on the same recruiting ratings he dismissed earlier. You have to give him credit makes it hard to be wrong

UGA has OT needs too.
Add to that this is a relatively week OT class. Not many quality ones out there if you have a need.

He's good at evaluating film. His shon Coleman scouting report was spot on.

Or he will say we lack talent. How would he know what talent looks like?

Here's our OT Board per 247
4* EJ Price - AU / UGA battle. UGA leads but it's close.
3* Breontae Mathews - AU could offer anytime. K-State leads.
4* Landon Dickerson - AU a distant 3rd behind FSU and UTk.
3* Lucas Niang - TCU leads. Auburn may turn up heat once Willie Allen commits to LSU.
4* Erik Swenson - Decommitted from Michigan and Herb Hand started following him on twitter.
3* Jawaan Taylor - Auburn is high on him but he's "rock solid" to UF

Why was Eric Swenson's scholly pulled by Harbaugh?
Posted on 1/21/16 at 11:41 am to AUtigR24
Allen just committed to LSU a few minutes ago...

Others know, but they run a substantial risk putting a kid out there like that.
I know people on here don't like me. I do know several ATL area coaches, and the information doesn't apply to AU always. In this case, I would not slander a kid without direct knowledge. He has an anger issue.

Take Breontae Manthews off that board too. He's just announced that he'll be committed Monday to Mizzou or Kstate.....
