Inspired by this old AU recruiting site, let's go back in time prior to 247/rivals. Who were the big hits/misses from back in the day?

Well Ole Miss got more or less the death penalty under Billy Brewer because of crootin’ trips to the Memphis strip clubs in the early 90s, so I’d have to say things were rather lit to borrow modern parlance

Do we want to know why you were on that site? Regardless, it’s pretty cool

There was some magazine I used to buy...I don't remember the name. Always looked forward to that coming out every year!

Also, pretty cool seeing some of those names

Dontarrius Thomas / / Perry, Ga. / LB / 6-2 / 190 / 4.5 / Tuberville visited Thomas today (12/15) to get a verbal commitment from him, and he did exactly that. I have heard that this guy is a real steal. Rodney Garner passed him up, but apparently Tuberville feels he has a lot of potential. His High School Coach said he has the frame to put on at least 25 more pounds. Thomas had 78 tackles and 6 interceptions as a Safety and played everywhere for Perry. He may play WR or DB at AU due to his size. He chose Auburn over NC State. Qualified academically
