"He's no dog in the trenches like Luke Deal but he get's off the line pretty quick for a 6'4 220lb guy. He'll be a mismatch coming out of the backfield or split out against a LBr."
Hes not as heavy, nor nearly as fast as McClain, and I see we have used that talent spectacularly so far.

You’re confusing athleticism for talent.

Why you trying to compare a WR to a TE? Just trying to stir up trouble?
McClain is a RSFR WR with a lot of talent in front of him. It was hard to crack that group.
We have NO TE, so ofc FRomm fits that bill. And GM did use his TE when he had Uzomah or Lutz.
Comparing them is a pure stretch.

Gus used Uzomah and Lutz. He did not use them well. Gus seems almost terrified to attack the middle of the field in the passing game. Until that changes, we’ll never properly use a TE in this offense.

Well, I guess an argument could be made that he hasn’t exactly been comfortable with his QBs ability to throw over the middle in recent years. That, and the “route trees” argument that was beaten into the ground. I think there’s a good chance we’ll see Stidham have more opportunities for risky throws this year. It seems like Gus is giving him autonomy. We’ll see.

I don’t disagree, but even with Cam and Todd, the route tree was limited, it’s just that most teams hadn’t really seen it before. Even then, we barely threatened the middle of the field. That 10-15 yard throw over the middle is so empty with our play design. Could shred so much. I hope that changes this year. It is a huge opportunity for improvement of our offense.

Four 2019 prospects to make return visits to Auburn this weekend (SECCountry)
quote:
Auburn has some recruiting momentum and the Tigers will try to cultivate that with a few key visitors.
Four top targets are scheduled to take visits to the Plains this weekend. For all four, this will be marked in the return visit category, so there’s some recurring mutual interest with Auburn. Here are the four known visits coming up and what to expect.
Update: The first name on the list was added Saturday.

quote:
5-star CB Andrew Booth, Archer (Ga.): Booth remains one of Auburn’s top cornerback targets in the 2019 class. In fact, he’s likely priority No. 1 with two other cornerbacks already committed this cycle. Booth visited earlier this spring and has a strong relationship with area recruiter Travis Williams. He also has a close relationship with recent 5-star commit Owen Pappoe who has already publicly stated Booth as one of his preferred choices to join the class. Booth recently jumped up to a 5-star ranking and has is the No. 1-ranked cornerback in the country.

quote:
3-star safety Aaron Beasley, Heard County (Ga.): This will be Beasley’s second known trip to Auburn in the last month and a half. There’s a strong relationship building there. Auburn is looking for one free safety type in the 2019 class — similar to Smoke Monday and Jamien Sherwood in the 2018 class. Beasley, despite his 3-star ranking, is one of a handful of prospects Auburn is looking at seriously to fill that role. He last visited the Plains in late March. Beasley visited Friday.

quote:
3-star tight end Tyler Fromm, Warner Robins (Ga.): Fromm has been to Auburn at every opportunity this spring. The Tigers have a few other tight end targets out there who have made multiple visits — Luke Deal and Sean Brown — but Fromm has been on campus more than any. Fromm will visit Saturday. It’s not known who from his family will join him on this trip, but several family members have been with him on his many trips this year. Fromm wants to make as many trips as possible to the places he’s considering, including Auburn, Florida and South Carolina.

quote:
4-star wide receiver Ramel Keyton, Marietta (Ga.): Keyton has a commitment date set for May 16. Initially, that decision was going to come down to Tennessee or Auburn. One of those two could still end up as the choice, but Keyton also includes Florida and Penn State as contenders. Keyton has visited Auburn plenty of times in the last two years, so this late visit before his decision is simply a reaffirming of feelings. The Tigers plan to take only two wide receivers in the class, and they already have one with commit George Pickens. Keyton would be a great immediate addition. He’ll be on campus Saturday.

Auburn recruiting: Week’s commits create buzz, momentum for Tigers (SECCountry)
quote:
This wasn’t an average week for Auburn recruiting.
The Tigers landed two commitments from the state of Georgia, including the first 5-star commitment of the 2019 class. Linebacker Owen Pappoe’s pledge to the Tigers gives the program some buzz that has been absent from the last few recruiting classes. Auburn expects to build on this momentum and shoot for what Gus Malzahn thinks has the potential to be a special class.
Pappoe, from Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., wasn’t the only commitment this weekend. Frederica Academy (Saint Simons Island, Ga.) cornerback Jaylin Simpson joined the fold after a weekend visit with his family.
With six spots filled, Auburn has approximately 18 scholarship slots remaining in the Class of 2019. Auburn expect to add to the recent commitments in the next few weeks.
Here is an early glance of where things stand for Auburn’s 2019 class:
