I saw him in person on campus pretty regularly and he was very skinny for a football player. Not saying he didn't have any muscle, but he was a little too lean for a SEC DB, imo. Not saying he couldn't have overcome it, he could have, but it wasn't helping him.

And yes, he Rose was always similar to Thorpe imo, which is why I thought he'd be a FS before it was said and done with.

Wouldn't matter if you told me you lived with him, I still disagree I see what you're saying, but size wasn't an excuse for why he didn't pan out.

I didn't mean to make it seem like I was saying that's why he didn't pan out. I just don't understand why he was ever so highly rated. It's pretty obvious he didn't pan out because he was a p***y, didn't want to hit, and liked the herb a little too much.

Shaun Dion Hamilton spent an hr with VanGorder and over 30 min with Chizik along with his father. He still says AU/Clemson, but said with a sly smile that he, Ronnie Clark, and Tre ' Williams will play together. He said Chizik told him he could have a great influence on recruiting for his class.

One player leaves and you are trying to compare him leaving to Saban's processing. Come back when Saban goes for as long as Chizik with only one.

It is simply amazing that Neiko Thorpe played all 4 years and graduated from Auburn... Just amazing.


Without him we would have lost against northwestern

You're acting like processing is a bad thing.

It is if you do like Saban and just start running players off that are doing what they are supposed to. Just to make room. Ones that don't do what they are supposed to need to be gone.

Processing is processing. Time to put on the big boy pants and get over it

How do you know the players that left Bama were doing the right things? And how do you know they didn't just want to leave for playing time? Big programs process, it's not a big deal

I don't recognize the name Ashton Richardson, but I like Emory's photo there in the middle.

Wish they had Lutz doing a one handed grab.
