Lets be real. If he committed to Auburn he would become a 4*.

We have never signed a 5* CB.

You're not wrong. With Saban gone now we have to lock those kinds of players down. Not going to go crazy over Offord, but we can't afford to have that become a trend.

Was Montae Pitts not a 5*? I think he was at one point by some service but I could be wrong, that was a long time ago. Turned out to be more of a rapper anyway.

He was a 4*. The knock against him was he was from such a small program but he had elite speed if I remember.

Always take jumbo athletes to fill your roster. Kids body hasn’t matured and can easily play at 260 and maintain speed. Not saying he’s an elite pass rusher but has a great frame and is athletic as hell

Different world from when he was recruiting. So much more on tape now with YouTube from 7-on-7 and camps and Hudl etc. hard to even equate it to when Montae played.

They really stole my truck out of the ATL airport parking ramp in 24hrs



We could really negative recruit Bama and Georgia crime while they use their NIL- new truck pickup lines. If nothing else we could remind our friends to stay out of Nasty Georgia

He might have been a 5 on Scout or something similar.

Now with the consensus rankings out, it's a little easier to figure this shite out.


But back in the day, man, it was the wild wild west.

He was a 5* at some point but ended up a 4*. I'm not going with the Auburn drop as an excuse. It really doesn't matter in the offseason because if we win the players will come. They will even flip from other schools. Also it doesn't matter once they sign and come what they were ranked. They will either produce or ride the bench. Rankings are just to sell subscriptions and magazines.

More eyeball emojis from coaches. And yet no commitment.

Thought T Reed would’ve at least taught them Twitter etiquette on the way out

Former Auburn running back commit J’Marion Burnette has committed to Houston.

The Andalusia star decommitted from the Tigers in November. The second national signing period begins Wednesday.

At Houston, he will join former Auburn assistant coach Zac Etheridge.

With recruiting you never know, but that was the implication since he decommitted in November.

Pretty sure it was grade issues if I recall….he committed to Missouri then didn’t sign with them either. Lots of rumors he might end up in JUCO.
