Sterling Dixon Quotes:
On Ron Roberts:
Difference between this visit and others:
Message from staff:
On Coach Freeze:
quote:
“It went great,” Dixon said. “I got to talk to my position coach, Coach (Hugh) Freeze, and Coach (Zac) Etheridge and they showed me a lot of love. This was my best visit yet.”
quote:
“They want me to play Will linebacker,” Dixon said. “That’s what I’m being recruited as pretty much with every school now.”
On Ron Roberts:
quote:
“He’s a great person,” Dixon said. “I love the way he uses guys. He’s very multiple, he can do just a lot of stuff. I love him as a person and as a coach as well.”
Difference between this visit and others:
quote:
“I’d say the one-on-one time, getting a feel for the coaching staff,” Dixon said. “Honestly learning how they want to use me. That was the biggest thing. I felt like I can come here and fit in.”
Message from staff:
quote:
“They’re coming, they’re on the come up,” Dixon said. “I mean, they’re making a big push, they’re making it hard for me to just sign with Alabama. But, I mean, I love it.”
On Coach Freeze:
quote:
“Man, he’s talking to me every other day, pretty much every day,” Dixon said. “He talks to me more than any other head coach. I love him. It’s a big deal. Not a lot of head coaches really try to contact or stay in touch and see what you have going on. I love him.”
quote:
“I’ll try to get back over here for the spring game,” Dixon said. “I’ll definitely take an official here.”

Well if Phat is going to Penn State we must be feeling good about Riley, hopefully.
I know there is talk the second back would be smaller and quicker, but I sure like that Daniel Hill kid out of MS.

Jeff Lee said he feels pretty good about him. On3 guys say Freeze is going hard for uat and thUGA commits. The beav gives zero Fs.
This is what I expected when we hired Freeze. He can play their game as well as they can. We saw it at Ole Miss with those monster classes he pulled in. It’s easier to recruit to Auburn.

Think it might’ve had more to do with him playing the recruiting games too much, and Freeze said homie don’t play that. I did always think it was interesting that White Walker didn’t name him as one of the players in his commitment list.

Also think there are some concerns about his health.
A RB who suffered a brain bleed IMO is a bit of a risk.

I am amazed at the number of high profile kids visiting, even risking relationships with schools they are already "committed" to, not Auburn specifically but a lot of programs (and this is not related to Burnette just in general).
Ive heard many say "I need to get my spot" as if they are reserving a spot somewhere and then taking visits. Its a two way street they may find their offer is pulled. They cant expect the ole rules, where a committable offer is honored, and continue to flirt.
Either dont commit and take visits, or commit and stay true.

Things have changed with Phat and now could be coming here, I’m like 70% on that.

There's a poster that claims to be his cousin that posts on 247 and he is saying Auburn. He's been fairly accurate on things concerning him so I tend to believe him. Also one of my sons best friends moved to Andalusia 2 years ago and plays football with him. He says the kid is all about Auburn

Everyone do yourself a favor and watch this Trovon Reed interview. At the end Trovon is asked if he thinks Freeze can have us competing for championships in 3 to 4 years. He laughs and says he expects us to compete this year.
Trovon also says he tries to contact recruits more than Freeze does.

Might be the same guy posted on ON3 then. He seems to know Phat and people close to Ryan Williams. He's saying Phat on Friday.
Also as far as I've ever seen it wasn't a brain bleed, it was a concussion. Obviously not great, but not the end of the world or something that would stop him from being recruited, unless it actually was more serious than a concussion.

I’ll bump Phat up to 95% now. The guy who makes all these kids edits for twitter/Instagram only made an Auburn one.

When is he committing?

AUgryphon,
Thats a great interview with Reed. I also liked the part where JLee asked him when he knew he would be kept on staff and he said....that day. JLee said what day, and he said the day he arrived. He said with all that was going on he reached out to Caddy first and then me and the others.
Freeze knows who was doing the most recruiting and who could keep kids out of portal and hang on to/close that initial class.

I'm hoping all the Auburn smoke about Phat is true, guess we'll see on Friday.

I want him for a few reasons but he’s replaceable. Don’t care either way. Probably won’t be tuning in Friday

What will you be doing in the meantime, Jonesy?
Posted on 3/21/23 at 7:44 pm to HonorThyWarEagle
Friday is a big day
Morning run, bike ride, and afternoon swim. If temps hold, I’ll ride that goddam bike to the beach and do that swim in a cold fricking ocean
I took the day off. If I'm very lucky my wife will drive my truck down and I won’t have to ride back home, although it’s flat and not that far.
