I could be wrong on this, but I don't think this kid is coming to AU. One of the earlier posts in this thread mentioned that he wouldn't consider LSU because LSU doesn't develop QB's. Hey, can you tell me the last QB that an AU coach has developed? Newton was a freak of nature. He was already developed when he landed at AU. What Freshman QB has been developed at AU in the past 10 years? Yeah, I can't think of one, either. My fear about Nix is that AU seems to have problems getting legacies on board. I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this kid. I'd rather have him than Fields, to be honest.

I hope this doesn't bode ill for Auburn, but I just read an article where this kid says the team recruiting him the hardest is Alabama. He says he hears from them every day.

This sucks!

What's even more amazing is that this kid cannot see that. He's been virtually ignored by Saban for all this time, now all of a sudden he's a big-time Bama lean.

I take it the answer is "no."

So, any Au commitments on the horizon?

If a underclassman declares for the draft, but does not hire an agent, can't they go back to school and play if they are not happy with the draft results?

Let this sink in: South Alabama, which has had a football program for less than a decade, had a player drafted in the NFL before Auburn did. Some school called Ashland had a player drafted before Auburn did. That's embarrassing.

As much as I hate to say this, but this draft shows why 4 and 5 star recruits are wanting to be at Bama and Ohio State and LSU and other program more so than going to AU. Many on these forums have stated, and correctly I might add, that AU has as many talented players as any school in the NCAA but they're not getting developed. I know there are some kids who know they're not going to be NFL prospects, but a lot of these kids DO dream of that, and that's why Bama is being so much more successful at recruiting than AU is---and yes, I do believe the REC helps out a good bit as well. Whether or not the Bama players actually survive in the NFL is a different matter---Saban gets them there, and once they get there, it's up to them to stay.

Good. Thank you for the response. I'm very glad Herron is staying.

Is getting this guy any indication that Mustafa Herron is indeed leaving AU?

I've been watching the UNC-Oregon basketball game and there has not been one word mentioned about this. When AU was going through the crap with Cam back in 2010, it was all the commentators could/would talk about.

When Mizzou got the rebound and hit the 3 that tied the game in regulation, one of the TV announcers said that AU was the worst defensive rebounding team in the SEC. That absolutely has got to change next year. I'm still in the Bruce Pearl camp, but getting a bit restless.

Absolutely disgraceful.
