ellitor 33,062 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 So let me ask. Has he had a 5 Star Sr season? Honest question. No clue. Since he is not committed no team repoerer is keeping track of his stats right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,545 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Iron bowl will do wonders if we can win back top back years. Where's that thread? It doesn't matter which team wins a particular game. Been watching this recruiting thing a long, long time and winning any given game does not matter. The overall stability and direction of a school's program matters but who wins the Iron Bowl or UGA/AU or Florida/AU games does not make any difference to a recruiting class.

Mostly it's how a kid "feels" about the coaches and the school...which is why AU's family appeal works as well as it does. AND coaching stability is a major factor...IMO.

Agree with you on this Mikey. I think last years game proved that. Evans looked all but sowed up for us after that game and we see how that turned out.

True but my guess is Evans would be an exception for most uncommitted recruits running the field and jumping up and down like crazy after a huge win. My guess is most prospects doing that end up signing with the school they're jumping up and down for, and not because of the game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree about the results of the game in a given year, he did say back to back wins, which is probably more in line with the direction of the program. WDE!

Because I believe results matter. I agree the winner of the Iron Bowl...or...AU-UGA...or...AU-UF in a particular year doesn't necessarily have an advantage. But the games aren't mutually exclusive. The results of those three games over two years would be a far better sample size, and would ultimately determine the direction of the program. WDE!

Not if one of the teams in the game is down over a certain time. Winning the 2 games has to be apart of overall program success in season record in the long term. Winning the 2 games by themselves means next to nothing recruiting wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back to my view that nobody knows how some of these kids come to their decisions...and certainly there is not just one factor that applies to all of them. Just gotta keep working at it...and winning over the mothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are talking powerhouse schools then more likely back to back seasons would show directions of a program and kids want to compete for the best.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I don't see the downside to staying the course on this one. We're in this with eyes wide open. I suspect we know he's a Bama lean, but you keep plugging, keep inviting him in, keep selling the program. If you land him, it's a huge win. If you don't, it's no shock. We've got very little to lose on this guy so why not keep up the fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite all the hearsay about his work ethic, Daron Payne is still rated a 5* at a position of need. He's an in-state kid and, as far as I know, he'll qualify academically. Why would we just step back and let Saban have him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
