Momentum in recruiting is important
I'll take false statements for a $1000 Alex. Kids pick the school they believes fits them best. 99% of the time other recruiting don't have a deciding factor on who a kid picks.

It's one thing to not be a homer. Virtually E-Shitting yourself anytime the slightest bit of news on a prospect you want is not AU positive on the other hand, is entirely different. That's what you do.

False statements for $500 this time Alex. History has proven that we have been elite many times in the West & the SEC w/out having those "Super talented recruiting classes". I think the best class we had was one in the 80s before rankings were around.

And an equal percentage of the time elite prospects want to go to a place they feel they can win.

The way the camps and all-star games are now too they form bonds in a way that didn't used to happen.

If you are ok with pulling an amazing season out of our arse every 5 or 6 years sure we can still do that. If we want to be an elite contender every year then what I said is true.

So crying for more commits is you not being a homer?

Need him (Stove) and Antwaun to go ahead and commit, we need to get some momentum going...


That post is "crying"?

Whatever you need to fit your narrative, I'm sure you'll come up with some clever material from this.

Glad I could be of service.

Most elite kids want to to go where they feel they have the best shot to be developed to get to the NFL. Yes they want to win but the NFL is the main goal for a lot of them.

True but as I said before, they still make their school choices based on their own individual fits & needs. If your beliefs had any merit package deals working would happen a lot more than the rare time they do.

No question it would help but talent has to be coached. Look at the Chizik era. We weren't that far behind Bamas in recruiting. If it weren't for Gus, Cam, & Fairley it would have been a total disaster because his staff did a poor job of developing talent.

Did this guy play college ball or have some experience that would be beneficial to Julian? I only ask because I've met Julian's father and he is very involved himself.

This surprised me. UGA was thought to be a main contender & his mom graduated from Auburn

No. Not a take right now per AUC. He is visiting practice today. The only known recruits visiting practice today that could commit now if they want to is Broussard & 6'7 3* OT Robery Kraeling.

Also Hamm may be a guard target instead of tackle per AUC.

Any truth that his high school baseball coach wouldn't let him tryout for the baseball team because of his attitude?

FWIW Jonah Williams was not a top target for AU & Keith has been posting that for a month or so.

Removed Price, Jonah, & Bro-Hamm on the OT top targets. Added Kraeling, added Nigel Warrior @ Safety , & updated positional numbers. LINK

So we want 3 tackles in this class, had two top 100 tackles that really liked AU but we weren't interested and the only guy on our list one 3* from bumble F GA?

Sounds good.
