dont look for us to improve out "talent retention". Kids are going to leave if they dont play. Its just a fact.
quote:As I have documented many times the past few years, 1 championship level season on the field rarely has a real bump in the next recruiting class. Those championship level seasons build the foundation for better recruiting 3 or 4 classes down the line as long as there isn't a major coaching change. For example, 2012 got Chiz fired & killed the recruiting momentum the 2010 season created.
Look at our recruiting after big seasons. 2011, 2014? Its not like those big years really blew out our recruiting.
quote:True but we still need to do our in house stuff better. We don't have the margin for error they do right now
As good as we are doing recruiting, our damn rivals are doing better. Hard one to swallow.

4* S Ladarius Tennison tweeted that his commitment is coming soon.
KN likes AU’s chances. And as we’ve pointed out - there’s little coincidence that all these guys are committing at the same time.

I'm excited about the class, but unfortunately we might be doing what we did in 2009-2010 but look at the 2020 commits and leans for some of our opponents...you could fill and entire roster with the kids committed/leaning bama, uga or Clemson before you get to the highest rated Auburn commit/lean. We need to start recruiting like those teams circa 20NOW.
Gotta get the facilities upgrades and wins on the field for that to happen.

Weird rankings for Thompson, noticed he recently fell 162 spots on Rivals meaning he was a top 50 player before. Wonder what caused such a significant drop.

Rivals and 247 seem to think he is a linebacker trying to play safety.

He’s a safety all the way for us?
Posted on 8/4/19 at 8:10 pm to RandySavage
He is already a big kid. 6'2" @ 199#. If he hits a spurt, he may need to move to OLB.

Thought we couldn’t take anymore LBs

Thompson is considered a safety and being recruited as a safety. If Thompson wants to move to linebacker later that will be cool too. The significant ant drop is kinda weird.

He;s not a LB he's a S.. Similar to Trey Matthews.

KN says Thompson told UT commits last night he was coming to Texas.

17 total commitments so far. That seems crazy considering it seems like just a couple months ago we were hovering around 6 or 7.
commitment specifics:
1 QB, 4 WR, 6 OL, 1 DL, 3 LB, 1 CB, 1 S.
More help in the secondary is on the way (Tennison, Pouncey, George). Time to beef up the DL, add Tank, and maybe go after a second QB.

If we could get 2 out of Walker, Jackson, Ojulari, and Boykin that would be big. Need to lock down Tank and Webb and I’d rather hope for a good season and maybe steal some high school OT than worry about another QB.
