re: Inactive recruiting thread

Can’t rule out a scenario that a kid picks Georgia Tech over Auburn but I’m doubtful it happens often.

Langlo could be that guy, though. These catholic school kids have different priorities

(I picked Auburn over GT for academics with cost being equal, even though AU was out of state. Auburn’s economics department was hard to beat anywhere for about a decade)

Who?

You've jumped off the deep end, even by your melodramatic standards.

At least we won't have a recruiting class to worry about keeping in tact in case Gus fails on the field again.

Should never be a reason to not fire someone.

FWIW one of the most reliable people connected to AU, autigers07 echoed Keith on AU not being all in on Cody Brown. He says we weren’t ready to take Cody & wanted to see him at a Summer camp (before they were canceled). There is concern over his weight & he might be more H-Back than true RB. Also said we never led or pushed for Brown either. Lastly, says he's not convinced we take a 2nd RB in the class likely because of the current depth plus he says we lead for 2 in state studs in the 2022 class in Emmanuel Henderson & Quinshon Judkins who are likely better than anything we can add in this class. Implying Taking a 2nd now may decrease our chances of getting both in the next class

RB - No Big Deal
DL - Would be a big deal, but trust in our Dline coach

What about all the OL, we not cool with taking any of them either?

The thread he posted in only discussed Brown to the Vols. He didn't give a larger recruiting view. With that said, your question is moronic. Of course we are going to try to take OL. my best guess is 2-3 OTs & 1-2 interior OL.

The 5* star edge DL that grew up an AU fan?

Wasn't anything there that needed to be said that hasn't been said countless times over. It was a big loss.

Losing him to an inferior program no big deal?

Yes, Not sure how many times that needs to be repeated.

Any homerism to explain away the general lack of any momentum or interest in Auburn from pretty much any big time prospect?

---

He's not a homer which is one of the reasons he's so well respected. But again you know the answer to your question as you have seen it numerous times. We seem to be struggling in the virtual recruiting world. It was theorized not being able to get recruits on campus was going to be a disadvantage to AU because AU on campus environment is pretty unique & sells itself well.

I don’t know what’s true here but we heard a few weeks ago that Auburn was pushing for Cody Brown and that Gus was heavily involved in his recruitment.

Someone’s wrong about something related to this guy. I think that’s fair to say here

Auburn’s struggle right now in the 2021 class is a little overstated.

Alabama is currently ranked 12th... in the SEC.

Bama must be following the rules. oof

Y'all need to read the tea leaves. We have like 4 or 5 commits and only maybe 1 of the top 300 prospects according to 247 that may be trending our way it's a guy near the bottom. It ain't over til it's over but things are looking terrible at the moment.

The nature of recruiting is winning 25 battles and losing 200

You can sweat it if you want to but you shouldn’t be surprised to find yourself alone with 9 months yet to go
