Regardless, he was an ace recruiter and big source of hype for us fans. I wish him well.




On what do we base his Ace recruiting skills on? He was not allowed to Recruit at Auburn. Maybe he will be great, but seems more like hire the Auburn guys, Auburn should not be a training ground. Get the best person, not the best Auburn person. Tweeting, "We not done yet" does not make you a good recruiter.

Lets see how he does now that he is a coach, I hope he does great!

He was one of he guys in charge on staying in contact with recruits. Calls, texts, being with them on visits. Plus he went out on the road anytime we had an opening. He did lots of recruiting for us.

No but recruits literally saying how much they love him and how he was a factor in their recruitment does. Also probably telling that now for two years in a row we held off on hiring a position coach to allow him to go on the road and recruit.

People internally say he’s a great recruiter. Recruits have mentioned him plenty of times which I haven’t seen much for an off field guy.

We’ve had multiple years where after a position coach left, he was allowed to recruit. Also kind of tells you he’s a good recruiter if he keeps getting called to do that.

I’m all for hire the best guy not the Auburn guy. I don’t really see how that applies here. He did a great job in his role.

But also I think people are being dramatic about the effect of this.

For someone that sometimes claims has close connections to the program your questions surprise me.

Recruits love him and mention him often. He plays a pivotal role when recruits hit campus and when he has a lot of contact with recruits. This promotion is a really good thing for Trovon and his energy will be missed, but it’s not devastating in anyway.

He’s a fan favorite of course and his comments about recruiting is based on what recruits tell him and the coaches they will pick Auburn. He can’t predict what might change in the closing moments of a recruit’s decision. I am happy for the young man.
