WR ...and as far as distance is concerned...Oregon is supposedly at the top of his list and that's not at his back door either. Don't know if he is just collecting offers but looks to have quite a few....class of 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I am not opposed to taking a national type kid or two at times. But if we continue the same strategy as we have this past year, staying with kids inside our "Tank of gas" if you will, we can sign Top 10 classes every year and maybe better. I know it's homerish but kids seem to play harder when playing for the local school if you will because of friends and family being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,039 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 But you should not also shut out national guys if they are coming to you and at or near the top of your staff's board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Of course not, my point is that we should sign 90%+ local "Pipeline" kids and if we get interest from a few national kids then GREAT! If not we keep the warm fuzzy feelings with the local coaches and players that will always be our bread and butter. If we try to get out there with Bama, Notre Dame & USC we will be committing recruiticide IMO. Not that we are any lesser a program and we could probably captalize some for a few years if we get the Natty but over the long haul it is not our cup of tea. Plus, I just like seeing local kids make good, you know? Much more satisfying IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the twitter profile that you're quoting only has 78 followers and is not followed by any of the coaches recruiting Kirk. The real and legit twitter profile of Christian Kirk is https://twitter.com/ChristianDavon2 and 1,765 followers with Coach Rhett Lashlee being one of those.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Well Alex Kozan is from Colo as is 3 other on our roster. So Auburn must not be to bad to live and play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so...Clark from Missouri, CAP from Pennsylvania, Blackson from Delaware, etc. My view is that many 4 and 5* guys see themselves going to the next level and are looking at the best place to make that happen....and are not quite as solid about going to an in-state school if they see better possibilities elsewhere. I say...don't back away from any guy that can help the team....no matter where he lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,841 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 If a top athlete shows interest in your school it's worth looking into to. I don't care if he lives in China. In recruiting, you want to fill your needs with the best players that fit the systems you run. You will have a recruiting base with high schools in your region of the country but there is nothing wrong with giving top athletes from anywhere else a phone call and gauging their interest.

It would be awesome.. we could call him Cap'n Malzahn recruited him when Malzahn was OC under Chizik, but I don't know about now. His size makes me think he would play the same spot as Stanton Truit-so there may not be a need for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
