2015 5* DE Byron Cowart commits to AU!

[chimesAU 89]

Just saw the pic he posted. It's of both Florida and Auburn's depth charts. I wouldn't take it to mean much of anything

Based on recent events, I think it is safe to say that Cowart's interest in AU is legit, and we are probably better than 50/50 at getting his signature in Feb.

50/50? That's pretty bold sir.

I have no inside sources but from everything I have seen he is between us and Florida. I don't expect him to be a Nole next fall...so 50/50 is a pretty fair assumption as far as I'm concerned.

If anything I think it may say something about Florida State fading as a contender.

The depth chart for both is fairly equal in terms of numbers. Whether or not the quality and therefore opportunity for early PT is equal is a different story.

Yeah. He's not competing with anybody but the top guys at either school.

Saw he had Lawson marked on there. But surely he knows with our DE deficiencies CWM would try to get them both on the field at the same time.

More likely is that they would play the same position, but would rotate a great deal. Having a guy like Lawson ahead of him would be a good thing in that he wouldn't have to be the superstar right away, but he'll still get playing time because of the need for a strong pass rusher on the field at all times...

I think ideally they're both suited for the "buck position", but I could see putting both on the field in some passing situations where one is standing at the buck and the other has a hand in the dirt outside Adams and opposite Lambert. Not sure which would stand necessarily though.

Yes Muschamp likes to do this to force the pressure and into the hands of a sack specialist.

With the way we rotate, that's why we have more dline depth, but to get the sacks we need players like Byron. Muschamp and Garner will let him know this..

Doing his home work. Got to love it

WE NEED THIS GUY

[dmoney 271]

I agree...

[bg5 536]

"the guys who want to come with me"

I caught that too. And I like the way it sounds. Maybe that's why some of these big DL prospects are giving us a new look or second look. Getting this guy could change things for our Def. for years to come.

This group would be like bringing a apache helicopter to a knife fight.

[KcPg14 24]

I have a feeling, whoever lands Cowart, he's bringing some guys along with him.

Here's an interesting article. Apparently Cowart made a pact with Arden Key to visit Auburn together on the weekend of January 30th. That means that Cowart would be visiting Auburn a second time before signing day. This article is from Carvell at AJC, so you have to TIFWIW. But if true, that would tell me that we are in the driver's seat for Mr. Cowart.

Man that would be huge if he visited twice

I saw that on 247, where he tweeted a pic of his chart comparison of AU/UF. The problem was that the UF roster was current but by comparison, the Auburn roster included our Seniors and walk-ons. I'm sure it will be straightened out on the 16th, but maybe someone who does twitter (I don't) should tell him that. I would think the sooner he knows that, the better.

Carvell usually panders to his heavily pro-UGA audience, so that's interesting to me.
