I have no issue with AU pushing family. Now, them pushing religion was not good IMO, and I did criticize that. Pushing family is fair game, and AU sure as hell knows how to do it.

Yep, you here almost every recruit say some schools talk about family, but at Auburn they really mean it... or something of that nature.

Yeah, I remember all the articles of recruits complaining that religion was being pushed on them.

Great point.

So you're saying no recruits have complained?

If not, where's the problem again?

Its the deep south. Why do you think Chris Petersen (a Scientologist) to the SEC never, and likely wont ever, happen? Christianity is big.

I'm not going to get into this. You know why it's not right. Sorry for not playing your game.

It's not right because you know it's just a sales pitch and its not the belief of the coaches in place?

I personally do t know that much about them or find it offensive if they relate to kids through religion. But I also don't mind youth group leaders for kids.

I'm not going to get into it. I just think it's a sleezy thing to use as a pitch.

I'm not going to get into this again.

Thanks again for bringing your personal critique of Auburn recruiting methods to the Auburn recruiting thread.

Your input in this same manner was invaluable to the success of the 2012 thread.

I didn't say anything in the '12 thread that was bad. The only thing you bring to this thread is criticism of other posters.

I agree.. I couldn't stand the whole "It's a God thing"..

That's where me and the family have a disagreement.

I'm not big on any religion pitch because it gives off a "holier than thou" feel if you're comparing to other schools. Now if a recruits host wants to take them to a Bible study or to church then that's cool.

I really didn't want this to come up because I like all the AU posters for the most part, and like posting in your thread. I really have nothing against AU at all, and like Chizik, BVG, Loeffler, etc.

How many OL is AU targeting this year after last years haul?
