Geez, even when the freshmen get here this summer, we're only gonna have 70-75 scholarship players!

Where's the depth??

Yet Chiz has signed 84 in his 3 classes.

2009 shite recruiting by Coach Tubs

Chiz was hired in Dec of 08. That's his class. In fact, he's inked 84 in three years. No reason he shouldn't be at full complement now. Other than the type of player he's brought in and the obvious cutting of what he feels are weak players.

Auburn handed out an updated roster and three scholarship players weren’t on the list: wide receiver Philip Pierre-Louis, offensive lineman Andre Harris and tight end Robert Cooper.

That means there are 35 scholarship players gone from the roster that won the national championship a little over two months ago.

Pierre-Louis, who was expected to be a key part of Tony Franklin‘s offense, never got his career off the ground. He was slowed by two knee injuries and had to work his way out of Gene Chizik‘s doghouse during one summer, coming back as a part-time punt returner. He finished his Auburn career having never caught a pass.

Harris was the only other lineman in the class of 2009 with John Sullen. He rarely got on the field.

Cooper was signed as a quarterback in 2009 but moved to tight end his freshman year.

---

Not to mention the other 8 or so players the last couple of yrs that left for "undisclosed reasons"

If he can get his attitude adjusted, he will be.

My UPS driver was one of his coaches, I think in middle school and knows him and his father very well. Has always said great things should come from him. The UPS drivers son plays for samford, so they are looking to match up against each other.

I thought he was off the team.

One of ya'll tell me what went on with JC...I'm about to have to put td.com up for the day and get some work done.

Really? Damn, I must have really missed something. Never heard any of this.

There's been no word that he's off the team.

There have been rumors, however, that the coaching staff has had "issues" thus far with Buddy Jr.

Really hate to hear that. He played high school ball right up the road from me.

I'm with ya... kid was born to play LB.

Hopefully he gets through his growing pains.
