EagleDamnWar 0 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Visited 5 games during the season. 5 crystal ball predictions and all to Auburn. Grew up a bama fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TexasTiger 55 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 This one seems to be a bit of a strange situation. He is showing cool on us but all predictions are to us. Any info on Jalen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAtiger12 112 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 We will need some tight ends this cycle so we should be an attractive destination for kids looking for PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTUmike 79 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 We will need some tight ends this cycle so we should be an attractive destination for kids looking for PT. Who many are we wanting? I believe Uzomah and Fulse will be graduating after this year. But I think with Ricky Parks returning and Chris Laye signing last week that it would be unlikely that we take more than 1--unless they find a hybrid-type athlete that could help in different ways. Just my opinion FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 He has an offer and we should have a great chance with Lutzenkirchen being his position coach. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/06/tide_tigers_among_finalists_fo_1.html#incart_river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. pic.twitter.com/Tv5AgAPjZM who is favored? We still in the lead? Favored by crystal ball is Bama but I doubt they take another TE in this class. He gave a top 5 a couple days ago in no order of LSU, Bama, AU, Miami, and Vandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tivo48 31 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I saw where he has an "offer" according to the post on the last page, but do we actually have a spot for him? Or is it all up in the air right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it all up in the air right now? There is a spot for him. We are taking 1 true TE in this class and that may be Harris. He has straight up blown people up at the camps he has been to the last 2 weeks at Bama, Vandy, LSU, and AU and gotten an offer at each camp.

autan 737 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 My CB is AU. I think Harris is a quality kid and a solid football player. Article says he earned the offer. Although I'm sure that's true, I don't think he would have actually gotten the offer if we had not struck out on the all the guys higher on the board. Williams, Gragg, Clark, Hentges, Wilkenson, Archibald, etc. Archibald was actually my favorite, but he too was way down the list. Can't blame BA for grabbing a bird in the hand with Miami rather than chance a long wait on his favorite AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff feels as good about Harris as those you mentioned after he camped here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Gus had Tyler Queen throw to Jalen one on one. TQ said he ran good routes and had great hands. We led for a long time as he attended nearly every home game last year and has visited a half dozen times. We asked him to wait and he started getting other offers. He is still growing as well and could wind up an OL one day if TE doesn't work out. I have NO IDEA where he commits but I do think he is worth taking right now, JMHO.

ellitor 33,091 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Free per Keith Niebuhr Link -Auburn offered last Saturday. -He spent an extra hour in Gus Malzhan's office with his parents after camp. -Crystal Ball likes Bama; Tide plan to take a second TE. -Grew up a Bama fan. -Attended all but one Auburn home game last season. -Philip Lutzenkirchen is one of his coaches. To me, kind of a tossup right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Bama My guess too but that attending all but 1 AU game last year throws a wrench in it for me. Too much smoke and reporting from Bama's camp. Our beat writers are not saying anything that makes me think he's heading to AU. The fact that UA is now open to taking a second TE says it all.

Valid points. I rarely check Bama reporters say anymore. Takes too much time to wash the smell off from looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
