AU is currently in 9th in class rankings with 255.97. That score usually puts you around the 12-13 mark. Not sure who Miami, A&M, Notre Dame & Stanford have left as those are the schools that could move ahead of us. Right now we have 4th ranked class in SEC



If we can stay at 9 or 10, jangalang said he will porn bomb rant and get banned. So...we need this. Bagmen Assemble!

Oh I missed posting this earlier but Markail Benton admitted that he considered flipping to AU. Searching for article. I am just gonna assume it's because JLee leaked it so we can have another reason to hate that dude

quote:

Benton raised some eyebrows over the weekend when he took a last-minute official visit to Auburn. Benton said he sat down with Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn and talked things over. Without providing specifics, Benton said the discussion made him think twice about what he would do.

In the end, it was the man in charge of the Crimson Tide that convinced him to stick with his word.

“I thought about (flipping) for a second,” Benton said. “(The deciding factor was) Coach Saban. He’s a great head coach.”

Found it

I may not really sure who's dumber Parks for greyshirting or Auburn for wasting a scholarship on Whitlow who's attitude is absolutely the worst. He literally walked of the field in the beginning of the 4th qtr against Fyffe in the playoffs and left the game. He played qb and if he didn't have the ball he literally handed of and stood and watched. On D he got lit up one time and was done. He's fast and illusive but don't like to get hit or told what to do.

I guess if he can get an academic scholarship or if his parents are loaded it's not that big of a financial issue,

You can't take a academic scholarship and play football because in the NCAAs eyes it's considered a football scholarship.

Gray shirt just means he waits a semester and then goes to Bama so he'll count against their numbers next year.

I don't think it's as crazy as some of you think.

In other words, he's a project. It's fine to take some. He'll either figure it out, or ride the bench/be encouraged to transfer. If the coaches don't like his attitude, they've shown they have no problem cutting someone for it.

It's pretty ridiculous considering there is absolutely 0 guarantee that he has a spot in the next class.

Yeah, it gives Saban an extended chance to evaluate him verses what he signed, and next years DL recruits. He is giving up all of his leverage. He will probably be a footnote in a al.com article next year.

I mean I wouldn't do it but I don't think they've ever burned a guy that they promised a grey shirt

His stock will definitely go down but do you really think no one else would take him because he sat out a year?

AU, LSU, or UGA? Yes, I think those schools would move on. He would end up at MSU or Kentucky. His value can only decrease from today.
