quote:No, not really. Recruits from Auburn High School aren't the typical "locks" to Auburn the college, you see. In other areas of the state? Yes. However, Auburn has only landed John Sullen from there recently, losing out on Dee Finley, Reuben Foster, and so forth.
It would bother AU waaaay more to miss this kid than it would Bama.
On the other hand, Alabama typically beats Auburn head-to-head for recruits in the state... Well, I take that back, Gus Malzahn has had no problem taking most of who he wants so far. Anyways, no Alabama fan wants to admit that Auburn beats them out for a recruit. It's just not in their nature (not all of their fanbase is like this, BTW).

I agree with the fact that I think the miss would hurt AU more because I see it as a need for AU more than UA. For UA Evans would be a great addition but LB we have great depth.
In regards to head to head it does not bother me and Evans may be the only true head to head battle between the teams this year. UA never really pushed for Roc until it was to late and Tre never showed any real interest in UA. If AU fans consider them beating UA head to head for those 2 I guess Saban beat Gus head to head for MH, but again MH was never really considering AU even though they offered.
This year seem to be interesting for recruiting. It seems both staffs got who they really wanted from the state except for maybe Evans. The next few years may be a little more intense.
BTW every fan base has those fans.

Auburn isn't like Baton Rouge or Tuscaloosa. It is a small damn town. Really easy to understand why some kids are looking to go somewhere else for college, especially considering a large number of Auburn High Students end up at AU due to parents getting faculty discount
