ellitor 33,039 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Don't be surprised if Arik Armstead is on the official visitor list for the Iron Bowl. Auburn has recruited him very hard, and his coach specifically mentioned us as a school Arik is going to visit. That would be AUSOME! Right now AA has 2 visits scheduled. At ND this week for their game against USC, and uat for the LSPoo game. USC has pretty much been eliminated for the big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catiger1345162883 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 His brother is at USC and he is not happy with the way they handled him. Right now I would say that ND would be his 1st choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USC can mend the broken fences with the Armstead family they'll still get him, but that probably won't happen. Armstead is more than likely visiting for the Iron Bowl. The staff has still been recruiting him hard, as has coach Barbee. Armstead is a very very good basketball player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkolumbo 8 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I just don't see this kid signing with us. it's definitely not something I'd bet on. We have no chance as of now. He has to visit for anyone to even consider this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catiger1345162883 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 he plans to go to the Bama-LSU game. Right now, it sounds like either ND or Bama. I now live here in Sacramento and know many people invloved with his HS program. Some of them I actually took to the National Championship Game and they got to see what the AU Family is all about. I am hoping Arik can at least visit our campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareaglebaby1345163024 0 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 heard that he could come in and play basketball during the spring semester 2012..that would be huge for the basketball team if we could get him! is this true?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,367 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 have seen discussions of him playing OT and DE ... thought i read that he wants to play DE. i know we here on AE have discussed him as an OT. curious ... rivals lists his 40 as 5.1 ... does he have the speed to play DE in the sec, even on the strong side. plus, 6'-8" is an awfully tall DE. Most are around 6'-4" with a few outliers up towards 6'-6". I dont want to research elite college and nfl DE that may be taller. thoughts? seems destined for OT whether he realizes it or not.

mustache eagle 2,367 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 that would allow for a little slower speed, but a 6'-8" DT ... could he ever get leverage. dude would have to be crazy, crazy strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUPreDentStudent 0 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 With that height he would mess with QB s trying to throw the ball all the time. I would expect a lot of batted balls at LOS from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,039 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have not heard the basketball thing. It still remains that Dec. 16th is the only weekend he can take an OV and that's between us and Texas. He will be an EE/ He is still adamant on being a DL instead of an OT even though he is an outstanding OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Hendricks, the Mad Stork, was a pretty good DE at 6'9". Quickness in the first two steps is more important than 40 speed for a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
