- Of course there is a super secret visit rumor. KN doesn't know name as not much info leaking out of AU offices but there could be someone else that visits this weekend as well
ProTip if you're reading: don't.

How exactly is a class that meets our immediate needs, and is ranked in the Top 10, with a bunch of kids left to sign, weak?
We have two of the top OT's in the nation, and one of the best OG's. We have perhaps the top LB class at AU in over a decade, or longer.
2017 is not the class that 2016 was, but it won't be for anyone. The overall talent is not there at RB/WR/DL. 2018 is going to be a great year for us. Garner has several guys on watch.
We have the best at positions of need. If you find that weak, there is little to discuss. Can't argue with ignorance.

Dude we need that that fricking 10th coaching spot for somebody that can recruit. Just getting some HS coach just to get one recruit is fricking retarded. If we're talking about giving a sister a scholarship for badminton obviously that shite is different.
Y'all call me the melter( Ha!) but I'm not the one arguing for desperation tactics. Hmm

KN put up percentages for landing top 3 remaining targets (insert JLee joke). Here's what he put
Johnson - 55%
Taylor - 50%
Bryant - 45% and rising
We getting everybody
Johnson - 55%
Taylor - 50%
Bryant - 45% and rising

"we met our needs" is the slogan this year huh.
3 or four O linemen, 3 or four linebackers, a QB, CB, and a receiver. Excellent class if you're talking about a 12 man recruiting class.

Talking about Warblogle? I agree with that
He just has this super inflated sense of self importance as an Auburn fan. The way he uses his platform to announce his opinion and try and increase his "value" is annoying AF

TD Moultry just posted this on Twitter.
"Signing day in a few days. Waiting on commits and signees that NOBODY expected."
not sure what it means but I bet he knows more than any poster or insider.
PUMP THE SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Especially when he is told "DO NOT let anyone know Deshaun Watson is visiting!"
Yet he heads down to L&M and gets a pic of him w/ Craig, and proceeds to Tweet it.
DOUCHE!

I will agree with you. We have met our immediate needs but that isn't a way to build a sustained program either.
Stidham needs to be as advertised or Woody Barrett needs to be ready to go. Either way, I think Lindsey can make White more than serviceable, it will be a matter of keeping on his feet and healthy.
Our linemen need to get game time this year because they will need to be ready to go next year.
Our linebackers need to grow up quick because they will be needed sooner than later also.
This class will look a whole lot different come signing day if we land Johnson and Bryant on the line, it will go from a good class to a potentially great one.

While we don't have a ton of top end guys, we definitely did a great job at hitting needs + getting depth at positions. I agree though, it is disappointing that we can never get both top end talent and solid depth in the same class.
What's most disappointing is that this seems like one of the first years in which we had very few top targets on our board in January. I understand we have little room, but we aren't really in it for anyone huge anymore

Some UGA "insider" claims Bryant is gonna end up at AU because will hire his HS coach as our 10th.
The NCAA is trying to pass a rule that would not allow this. The new rule states that you can't hire a kid's coach you recruit until that kid is 2 years removed from that school IIRC

I don't slogan brah.
I just look at what we need and who we have coming in. Pretty good coverage of needs, considering the lack of elite skill position talent this year.
Maybe you need to "Jang your Lang" and relax a little bit!
Erry-thing gonna be alright!

With LSU / UGA / and now Bama hard after Bryant I wouldn't be surprised if his AU visit gets cancelled this weekend.
Once of those schools will put a stop to it

There is plenty of skill position talent out there. Quit acting like Ellitor.

If 2016 healthy Sean White level passing game is what we do in 2017, it may be time for Gus to go. ** Unless it is because Pettway/RBs are running 300+ypg
I don't care if it is SW/Barrett/Stidham, if after 5 years of recruiting we can't even get top quartile production of our QB, we don't have a promising future

Won't be till after NSD so don't care
I highly doubt we would hire that guy as our 10th coahc more like support staff. I just thought funny the excuses are starting to come out. That usually bodes well for AU which was my point

Just a question, how can you say we didn't get Top end guys and/or gain depth on the OL, and at LB?
Don't sleep on Gonzalez. This kid was born to play Safety, and is going to surprise a bunch of people. He has been committed so long, everyone forgets.
If he were heading to bama/uga, he would be a high 4* kid IMO.
