aufootball1 42 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yeah, I would hope BCW will help, but I just find it odd that DT's and especially DE's are not jumping onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with higher quality recruits, you have to wait until they're ready to commit. Which is usually way later in the cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I don't think many teams have a bunch of DL commitments right now. We will be fine IYAM, kids want early PT and we showed last year we would play FR. Let things play out, the kids are watching and Dee getting drafted will help. That is one guy though. We will have more than one guy this coming year wind up getting drafted. That should inject a little life into the DL recruiting. I agree that at first glance it is disappointing, but it is just the nature of the beast these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Question: Why are we loosing to DL/DE recruiting battles? Even with Top NFL Draft picks and SEC Champions.... We are thin at the DE position, so I thought they would be lining up... I cannot figure it out Coach Garner has things tight in DL recruiting.

We are thin at the DE position, so I thought they would be lining up... I cannot figure it out Coach Garner has things tight in DL recruiting. Word, 2 straight great DL classes and people are sweating? Crazy. We can't sign all of them guys and some recruits that we want will go other places. Just the way it is. Of the 3 5* DTs we are after all can choose to go to ANY school in the country. On top of that one doesn't fit our defense and the state school is the favorite. The other 2 fit our defense but we trail the state school for 1 but are gaining and we trail the in-state school for the other that lives 15+ hours from AU but are we are battling for both. The fact that we are even battling for a 5* Texas player is pretty impressive IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 We just signed 3 big-time high school DEs (Williams, Thornton, and Kennion) and added another swing DE/DT in DaVonte Lambert. Add those guys to Lawson and Daniel (a swing DE/DT) plus Chase Robison and Gimel President (both sophomore). I understand that we're thin at DE this season, with only Owens, Lawson and Daniel having any playing experience, but we're not thin at DE moving into 2016. We will be thin at DT that year. DE, not so much. Owens is the only DE on the roster that will move on after this season (barring transfers and/or career-ending injuries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,818 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'll commit next. Just to ensure our recruiting ranking stays at the top. Thank me later, fellas! But really, I think we needed this recruiting momentum to show other recruits whats going on in Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surprising about Stanley. I thought we led for him. I currently have no idea who our next commit may be. Hopefully, Big Cat Weekend will have a big impact on a few of these guys and get a couple of them to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks seem to overlook that we signed a full+ class of DE prospects last year. There are other positions that need shoring up more than DE.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm not exactly talking quality. I'm looking at body count. Rosters almost always have an ideal number at each position. After next season, we're looking at 7-8 DEs without a single signee. That tells me we want a couple of new guys. Two would give you a full house. Now, if those guys aren't good enough, you might have to oversign at a particular spot, but I don't think that's what we're dealing with at DE.

I am cautiously optimistic that this is the year our LBs improve and we have a formidable defense. If this does come to pass, watch out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggwilliams 61 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Where a good situation with our linebackers. We can recruit both DBs and linebackers and see how their body develops. I expected to be a strength in years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
