Grimes needs to go, but guessing the distance factor for Flax - UK 5hrs, AU 12hrs.
Still ridiculous we can’t sign a top rated tackle. UGA might be getting Ratledge and Jones. 2021 they have the #3 OT committed and #7 OT Michael Morris CB’d.

the other piece is we are really late on Flax. The thing I wonder is why? We probably knew Buskey had grades, and we knew Cohen was iffy at best for a few weeks. Why not overload there or at least get another guy warm?

Have you not learned anything? That is not how Gus recruits OL SMDH

Can't evaluate... we didn't try to get in bed with him until he was named the #1 juco OT

While I dont disagree, we shouldve been in on someone else, then. I guess my point is I am not surprised if we lose Flax because Kentucky recruited him the whole time, and we were a late offer.
If we need another OT, I have no idea why our net is cast so narrowly so late. We shouldve been warming other bodies if possible

Kentucky offered less than a month before Auburn did. So that’s not really the issue here.
Getting in early on guys isn’t necessarily helpful. See: Kennedy, Q Robinson, Boykin, Pickens, Cohen, etc.
If anything, getting in early on guys in recent years has been harmful if that’s the only factor we’re looking at

Does Flax not coming help with the possible Jones flip? Jones could start day 1 now I would think.

quote:The biggest benefit to the early signing period for us imo. Those two, for the most part, will always have their positions locked in by now so after ESD they are free to pursue any remaining targets.
Good thing for us Garner & T-Will are running that recruitment. Not sure we'd have much of a chance if Grimes was.

Chad Simmons is still hearing more AU than Bama for Pegues FWIW.

quote:It def makes him a bigger priority, but if he's ok with going to UGA with their OL depth I doubt if Flax came it would have mattered to him. And to be honest, if we couldn't get Flax from UK getting Jones from UGA is going to take a minor miracle.

Darnell Washington is not signing tomorrow, so the dominos may not be falling yet. I think Bama made a push on Pegues since it appeared they may lose out on DW. Now that he's not signing, I wonder if that could secure Pegues with us tomorrow,

Yes, but makes us that much more vunerable to striking out when we cannot afford to.

Does Grimes fall asleep during in home visits or something?

I am beginning to think he tells stories that start with........."I remember when bread was a nickle".
