robbykidd 6 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 According to our usual suspects, we didn't want him and the new coaches have not contacted him hoping he would do just this and decommit. Seems funny to be casually shucking off a 4* running back with outstanding skills as a receiver. I have a feeling this is our loss. Oh well, we picked up a 3* saftey today so all is good, right? Yeah, this ones hard to figure out. Either the coaches just decided to not take a chance with his injury, which many players have come back from, or they thought he wasn't as good as his rating suggested. I think Ole Miss will likely get a steal with this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsande07 271 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Picked up two and lost one this weekend. Lots of things going down on the recruiting front. I for one have been impressed with what the new staff has accomplished so far. Hope we can finish strong over the next couple of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree E...and they have to feel Really confident in getting one of the three to let him go so easily. I wish I knew who it is...the suspense is killing me, but its why I love following recruiting.

Of course, it's possible that the actual coaching staff knows something we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you hit the nail on the head and I think Jordan had his doubts as well. Nice to see the class Jordan is showing and wish him the best of luck. War Eagle !

im4au 44 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I hate this for the kid. He was sought after by a lot of big programs before the injury. Good luck to him - I'd be proud to see him at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a shot with Barber, but I personally think if he flips he winds up at TN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Good kid, class act, tough and big RB, wish he would have been on the Plains. As I said earlier in the thread, JW was one of the 2 RBs (DG the other) I wanted for Auburn a long time ago. I usually don't wish a kid good luck when they decommit but in Jordan Wilkins case I actually do wish him well. I hope his injury is completely healed and he has a good college career, except for Auburn games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 To me this says CGM is satisfied that he will be set at RB next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernoOrangeSS 321 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 To me this says CGM is satisfied that he will be set at RB next year. To me it says that CGM has in mind what he wants for his specific offense, and he is going after the players that best work in it. Whether we gave up on this kid or he chose to go somewhere else is debatable. I wish him luck where ever he goes. I think CGM has in mind exactly what he wants for 2013 and is going after those players with a very determined staff, (as is witnessed in the 2 players who flipped to us on Sunday.) I think CGM & Co. get who they feel best helps them. Are there some big time recruits out there that they would want, and won't get? Sure, but this is the first recruiting class. Look for next year and beyond to be the really telling years in how much talent this amazing staff can pull. War Eagle!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to those allegedly "in the know" we ditched him. I hope this move doesn't end up biting us in the butt. I'm bumping this for your Mikey because after a few days of being decommitted there has been absolutely zero talk of trying to recruit Wilkins back to Auburn. Sounds a lot like a staff that was parting ways with him after all your talk that that could not possibly be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they want him back after dumping him? I think they made a mistake but I don't get a million dollars for my thoughts, they do. I think you're confused. Claims were made that we also dumped Jarrad Davis and I don't think that's true. Also doubt that Sills was dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
