Barrett is elite... a top 20 RB nationally.

A back would have to be top ten at least to be considered elite. Barrett is on the next tier.

Seems they're elite when they get here and play. not reallt worried about RB recruiting

You can say that now. You sure as frick couldn't say that last year when Peyton Barber was our best back.

Ill take a peyton barber and Jovon Robinson any year

Brilliant move. Throw in the guy that rode the bench for much of the year for attitude problems. Glad you enjoyed the Peyton Barber for two yards show.

What was so dumb about it. You are the worst at this. Every thread you call people idiots for their views but you don't say anything of note yourself. Our rushing attack sucked last year. No running backs played elite which is what you claimed.

Well I am right most of the time

Wow did jang really say about someone else what EVERYONE on this board says about him. Hello pot meet kettle

Like Brannigan said, this isn't AUFamily or Eagle. Welcome any Auburn poster, agree or disagree, bitter or not. Any closet bammer can get Lucille'd the frick outta here but jangalang isn't that.

Are some people on here trolling or being overly critical sometimes? Sure. But I think if you look back at the game threads we're all a little disappointed at how things went these last two years and a little skeptical of our program's future. The bowl game with everyone "healthy" will tell a lot.

Let it ride. There's hope in Stidham, Pettway returning, elite WRs in the wings, Steele who no one thought would make our defense BETTER, and some SEC quality but not top-3 SEC sans 3 5-star (imo) recruits coming in at the moment.

We're not Bama or tOSU but who he frick is? We wanna be that good but we get our seasons of glory that make everyone butthurt as frick. This one and last just wasnt those. Next year looks Thomas Edison bright and set for maximum rustle. Drink a beer lads, we'll be alright.

Now if we could just get that shite box stadium renovated instead of a concourse widening with even mizzou about to look good.

I wouldnt say sucked, but it was not up to our standards. Barber was an average to below average back, but Jovon was elite.

Jovon was an elite back and we need a lot more with his capabilities, but he held himself out of games with his attitude issues. Plus I remember against Georgia and Ole Miss last year for whatever reason, Gus decided to not JR in the second half more that one or two times which didn't do our running game any favors. My point is that in our offense, the yards are there for our RBs, so we should be attracting elite RBs on a yearly basis. If Gus can get Barber a 1000 yards, an elite back with vision could have way more than that.

Top 250 is not elite. And Barber never played elite. He wasn't even close. He was lucky to make it to a practice squad and to have his team experience four RB injuries before it was his turn.
