.but that wasn't the target of discussion in the auburn recruit thread


Yeah it kind of was. Maybe not directly, but you and several others had a hard time understanding why a top WR would go there.

imho they will not buy more production becoming more balanced because there is not much room for improvement.

That's assuming Defenses don't do a better job VS that running game this year, a near impossibility. Combine that with them losing one of the most dominant OL we've seen in the SEC (Cam Robinson) and the loss of their key RB (Tre Mason) and their key FB (Jay Prosch- for which they have no replacement) and you'll see that it is impossible for that running game to be as good as it was.

..i appreciate the response but was looking for something different... again ..maybe that was what some other posters were aiming at but that was not my question..your answer offers me little towards my inquiry...based on Gus's 2013 season...and that offensive scheme....what is the draw for a big time WR recruit to play for auburn.....there is very little i do not understand regarding my own question of interest..thanks

I agree..i think I made reference to this in regards to Gus having the right pieces in place last year...and his change toward more balance is a condition of that offense peaking it's potential.....my discussion was with auburn faithful who felt that they would retain the rushing attack of 2013 with an equally elite passing attack....

Regardless..if defenses improve against their scheme or if auburn balances rushes with passes with success....statistically they will not see an improvement from 2013 in offensive production because it was that dang good

Because it is mind-boggling. It is similar to a kid like Eason committing to AU or Urban Meyer. Why would they do that? It is a waste of his talent unless Craig's greatest asset is his blocking downfield.
