AU-24 3,063 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Currently 10 on Rivals, and 9 on Scout, but too be honest IMO with our coaching staff, as long as we finish in or near the Top 10, and meet our needs, I could care less where they rank us. Look what A&M and Okla did too the turds then compare the recruiting. I understand not all will agree JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeriderga 134 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We have one 5 star target and three 4 star targets left. If we land 4 out of 5, that should put us at # 6 or better once recruiting is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernoOrangeSS 321 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 My main concern is that we get our areas of need locked down with talent. I used to be really high in where we finish in recruiting rankings, but there isn't that much difference in the top ten. It's what you do with them when they get here that matters.

ellitor 33,039 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Finally hit the top 10. Does this mean top 5 in all others? We were actually 9th on ESPN before the All Star games when LSU passed us by getting Fournette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aupops2 8 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I just did an update using the 247 calculator: if we got Rashaan, B Smith, A Williams, and T Harris, we would be in 3rd. Of course, others will add some commits, too. I don't feel all that good about Harris, and Smith's chances are all based on his visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As player rankings stand today and factoring uncommitted recruits that other team expect to lead for, if Auburn gets Evans, Smith, and A-Will then we project to finish 4th. If we get Evans and A-Will we project 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Looking like a 6th place finish, right on TAMU's heels. If losing in the BCSCG and finishing just outside the top 5 in recruiting is what passes for disappointment these days, then you're going to have a hard time kicking me off the Bus.

We are more than fine with this class. This is a championship caliber class, no ifs, ands, or buts about it!! With this coaching staff, the sky is the limit! Back it up with another top 10 finish next year (I expect we will crack the top five next year), and we rolling baby, we rolling!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeagleTheBeagle 60 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 AU 2014 Class = 247 Composite #6 247 Sports #5 Scout #8 ESPN #8 Based on me trying to project the final rankings... *Should be safe at #6 on 247 composite *Also projected safe at #5 on 247 sports *Likely safe on Scout *ESPN it's hard to tell. The only two that could potentially jump us are Georgia and/or Notre Dame but I don't see any numbers to calculate. TOP 10 class on all services TOP 5 class on the most respected service (247 IMO) WAR EAGLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,104 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The Juco players will have an immediate impact especially Moncrief and Williams but we get no extra points for them because they are Juco players. As far as I am concerned those two players alone make us better than out numbers show. But more importantly we are 2-3 deep on D with the exception of Star and we filled needs at RB, WR, TE/H-Back plus depth on O-Line and a great future QB. This was one of our best classes ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If we met our needs then it doesn't matter what the recruiting services think. We had the #1 Class as far as we are concerned. WDE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivisionN 102 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It was a great class. It DID NOT meet all our needs. We needed a very good high school center- FAIL. We needed a fast-twitch scorching pass rusher- FAIL. We exceeded expectations in the secondary and at quarterback. We did okay at RB though I'm not sold on Roc at the college level. Smith was a fantastic pickup. We did okay at DT, though some will have to grow into it. We did okay on run-stopping defensive ends. We landed some high character guys. Tre Williams may be a better person than player, and he is a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
