Maybe but the reasoning you gave is more often the exception than the rule.

I'm OK with that. Sometimes an exception is needed...

To get a commitment from your sixth offensive lineman?... Hardly think Williams warrants and exception. I'm not saying he won't be a good player, but circumstances sometimes dictate you don't take a guy.

I did. I'm connected with the Hoover staff, and I remember them in shock that he got an SEC offer.

Yes.

Auburn took 7 offensive linemen in the 2012 class, FYI.

We could also lose up to 7 offensive linemen within the next two years to graduation and the NFL Draft.

He played at Pelham high-school.

What did the Hoover staff know about him?

Circumstances dictated taking a bunch of OL in 2012... Our depth is significantly better now and the numbers are more spread out among the classes.

Unless your depth chart is just screwed up, there is really no reason to load up on six OLs, especially with needs elsewhere.

I saw all that and thought the same. However after speaking with another someone I felt somewhat better.

AUC article on Jawon Pass -

Pass was a little miffed it took so long to offer, but after talking to Lashlee over the weekend, he feels better about it. Said Lashlee told him they wanted to make sure he was the right guy and he was told he's the one they want. Said he'll fit in perfect with everything our offense does.

Bessant is actually 5'4 but his neck gets him to 5'11.

So how many spots do we have left? Far as I can tell these are our remaining major targets... What are the odds we get these guys and is there anybody else I'm missing?

Ivey
Walker
Francois
Slayton
McBryde
Holland
Darryl Williams?

Obviously a shocker like Payne or Thompson (wish we would quit wasting our time there and go balls out on Payne) Burt, Phillips, Patterson would be nice but none of those look likely at all at this point.
