Auburn and Bama guys, what's the deal with this kid? Is he gonna play college ball in Alabama? His film looks really good. Just wondering since I've read Craig has major pull in the Mobile area and he was his lead recruiter at Auburn. Any opinions on LSU's chances if Craig and Orgeron go after him?

Dameyune Craig doesn't have "major" pull in mobile. The only big name guy he's gotten out of mobile that didn't go to Alabama was Chris Casher and he was a dud. Auburn got Tre Williams (waiting to see if he's worth a shite, may be similar to Casher), Nick Fairley (not big time coming out), and maybe a couple low ranking guys. All others go to Alabama. Mccarron, Mosley, Fowler, Barron, and others. Basically if they go to St.Paul's, Vigor, McGill-Toolen, Davidson, UMS-Wright, Blount, Leflore, Murphy, Theodore, and Saraland they are going to Alabama if bama wants them. That's just mobile. The real honey pot is in Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Foley. Some fricking ballers come out of there. Pat White, Yeldon, and Ryan Anderson from Daphne. Julio Jones, Robert Lester, and DJ Fluker from Foley. Then a lot of big name guys will come out of Spanish Fort as well. They haven't had that one big name yet. Reese Dismukes is the biggest one they've had but they've had a lot of 3 stars.

Laugh all you want but Bama has gotten every player they truly wanted from Mobile and Baldwin county since Saban has been there no matter who else was recruiting them.

I see one guy that anyone outside the state of Alabama would recognize and he wasn't from Mobile.

A good majority of those guys are still playing. At any rate, Alabama offered the majority of those guys, so clearly Craig has some pull. It's not like everyone was calling that a home run hire for his WR coaching prowess.

Ryan Johnson grew up an Auburn fan and we're early favorites.

His recruiting will make us Auburn fans sad. He has major inroads to Mobile. You are full of shite.

Jason Smith was like a 3 star and bama didn't offer. Craig had nothing to do with him. Montgomery and bham are about 4-5 hours away from mobile. The topic at hand was mobile area Justin Thornton was a 4 star out of vigor. But what has he done? Craig had nothing to do with him. He also had nothing to do with Tre Williams.

Yeah totally. Who did he pull for FSU or AU out of mobile that Alabama wanted? Or at all for that matter.

Chris Casher is the only one.

Smith was a 4* in HS and JUCO, and Bama did offer out of HS. Everybody knew he was resigning with AU out of JUCO.

Craig was the primary recruiter for Smith, Williams, and Thorton.

JUCO ranking

He was a 4 but a low 4.

And you're wrong. Bama didn't offer. He went to AU because you "promised" he could play QB.

Idk if you realize this or not but none of those guys signed with Craig. They chose auburn. Just because he was the lead recruiter doesn't mean shite lol. Each recruiter is assigned an area. Just because Craig recruits mobile, which he does, doesn't mean he has major pull. You fricks are retarded.


I'll say this for everyone: let's give aubie credit where it is due. They got Jason Smith. A low 4 star who bama didn't offer. Justin Thornton who bama didn't offer and had grade issues. And they beat bama out for Tre Williams. None of these guys are great college players, let alone future NFL players.

Alabama has: McCarron, Fowler, Barron, Mosley, Fluker, Julio, Lester, Yeldon all in the pros from mobile and Baldwin counties. That's just in the frickING NFL.

Who does auburn have? Nick Fairley. Who does FSU have? No one.

I'd be inclined to say that too if I had to hang my hat on Jason Smith, Justin Thornton, and Tre Williams.

That's 3 players ranked 4 star or better out of mobile in how many years? Dont be so delusional.

Of note: none signed with dameyune Craig except... Chris Casher. Like I said.

MOBILE. Not Hueytown, for those of you who need a geography lesson, which is in north Alabama near Hoover.
