re: 2016 Auburn Football Recruiting Thread

quote:

---

We recruit tons of players that were always going to other schools and apparently, according to the insiders on this board, we somehow feel good about a lot of them all the way to the end when the inevitable happens.

These stories are always somewhere in the middle. It was like the Preston Williams story from last year. When Preston Williams came on his OV, he was decked out in UTk gear, played as UTk on NCAA and trashed anything not UTk. We didn't send him home though until he went all Bob Marley on the OV.

With guy of talent level like Mack Wilson or PWill, we recruit and spend time on them even though we likely will lose because if something happens we are there.

BUT

It is only worth playing that recruiting game when they don't have red flags. When PWill indulged on the OV it no longer was worth it. For Mack Wilson, when he is pro your rival, arrogant on visits and doesn't have the personality why bother with the time?


If Mack Wilson was all auburn from day 1, we would take him. We know he isn't and we do have some concerns so the cost-benefit isn't enough to try and be 2nd
