Henderson’s highlights

Keep in mind the highlights on his 247 profile are from his freshman year.

We’ve had plenty of 5*s over the years but all of ours never seem to pan out to full potential. Derrick Brown and Caddy are about the only two I can think of that lives up to the billing

Well it’s just not accurate

Byron Cowart

Where’s Raven Gray I don’t think his last cycle of recruiting was a 5 star but for 2 cycles he was. Yes I think he counted towards recruiting in 3 cycles.

Not all of those players you listed panned out, but obviously there were more than DB and Caddy that did.

247 doesn’t have him listed as a 5 star on our all time commit list

I don’t think 247 was around then. I know they went back to some of the guys that panned out like Caddy but for the most part classes are incomplete from years ago

Raven Gray listed as 1 of 5 of the top Auburn recruiting busts…


Raven Gray: DE, 5-Star 2008

Raven Gray was first recruited to Auburn during the 2006 recruiting year. He had to spend two seasons at JUCO before making his way to Auburn in the 2008 recruiting class, being re-rated as a 5-star recruit by Rivals.com.

Gray showed up to Auburn with high expectations, but failed to meet them. He battled injuries and other issues off the field, choosing to transfer before the spring of 2009 according to an al.com report.

Gray was one of the highest rated players that Tuberville recruited that actually made it to the Plains. Unfortunately for both parties, it never worked out for the best.

Gray will also be remembered for his testimony on the HBO series attacking Auburn, alleging money and gifts to athletes had occurred. Gray and the other three featured in the special declined to speak with the NCAA about the allegations.

They weren't...IIRC

They usually go back and rank previous recruits but usually the lists are incomplete

I’m not debating. The industry standard at the time had him a 5 star. And yes I think Auburn was credited 3 straight recruiting cycles of Gray being a commit. I always just found it funny

Any reason why Trovon tweeted 24’s with the eye emojis?

Expected to come here and see a commit

I don't think anyone has put a list together should be by the middle of the week but I wouldn't be surprised to see between 40-50 players for '24 (30+ players) and the rest '25 class.

The staff have been working their asses off, no days off.

yeah forgot to mention Riddick is coming. That's huge news. I have no idea if we will get him in the end or not but putting the pressure on UGA to have to dedicate time in Clanton makes it worth the effort.
