When Chiz was first hired, Bammers assured us there was no way Chiz and AU would come close to the recruiting juggernaut Saban has created.

Said recruits would rather play for championships instead of a 5-19 coach.

Two weeks away from NSD, AU is breathing down Bama's neck in the Rivals rankings. Bama has 3 more slots and AU has 6 more slots (I think). AU is sitting pretty with a 5* RB.

So is it possible that Chiz will have a better class than Bama in a year that Bama won it all?

No, since Chiz told Howard he can play RB, I don't expect Latt to sign.

It'd be kinda nice, but we're not catching bama.

The Barn has guaranteed playing time.

Bama offers guaranteed bench time and/or redshirts.

Yet Bama is recruiting just as well as Auburn.

So...gtfo.

Short answer, yes. Biggest reason, early playing time - the same thing Saban sold the last two years.

Now let the AU-Bama pissing contest begin in earnest.

Insecure gumps, rally to your team! Lets here about Saban, championships, Gus leaving, etc.

of course! but you know, our last two classes were a combination of both NEEDING a TON of players and talent AND superior recruiting jobs done by our coaching staff.

Auburn's cabinet is empty. they could recruit any position hard because they need it. so it's not exactly level playing ground even in SPITE of winning a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and an SEC CHAMPIONSHIP.

the easiest thing to recruit with is the whole "immediate playing time" thing...

but yeah, i could see them beating our recruiting class.

it's all about what you can do WITH that talent... See Utah vs Bama in the Sugar bowl... and then see LSU over the last two years. big difference.

Wrong, Saban and crew has been selling 'playing time' to this years recruits too. According to John Fulton

"They basically broke down the depth chart again," Fulton said. "They have done the depth chart like 1,000 times, but they did it again. They actually brought the book this time and talked to me about that. They told me that I could play early

barn is rightfully selling early playing time, just as Bama did in '08 and '09. Bama's cupboard is fairly stocked now while barns is almost empty. When BOTH teams have full cupboards, then we'll see who can out recruit who. Until then, it's really hard to tell due to circumstances with depth on each team.

I predict that Sabans recruiting machine slows down after next year.

As I understand it the final ranking only count 22 players. If so then that will hurt Auburn.

Going off of rivals rankings?

Barn commits in the 250: 6

Bama commits in the 250: 12

Right on our heels.

Oh well. I'm fine admitting that AU's recruiting class has impressed the hell out of me. Way better than I was expecting, same with Chizik's first season on the field.

Guess I shouldn't of made my first post in a troll thread.

You are probably safe here. It will likely be mostly bama fans responding on this topic since it was a jab at Bama and I gotta get back to working.

it has nothing to do with bama. AU is a big boy in the SEC. we spend tons of $ on football, have a large fan base and love our tigers. we've been down for the 2/3 years but i'm glad bama is up while we're recruiting like this. it just proves my point. the sec west will be decided in the STATE of al in the near future.

gumps!
