Because he is looking at Grad program and not just football we should have some academic people involved in his recruitment. Also because of his size and what we saw at center position at Auburn last year we should be ready to sell our need for a center of his caliber. It has to be a two pronged recruitment Academics and need at Center. No coach should say if you come you will be our starting center but a player of his caliber looking at center position at Auburn last year would believe he would be starter. He has been through recruiting and I believe if you tried to sell him a bill of goods by saying you will be starting center it would turn him off. The academic part is always covered by the right people during recruiting visits I hope! As far as football, you show him video of early games, especially plays or series were our center and Horton looked like they were on quaaludes. Then show him later games when they actually improved some. Explain how happy you are that your guys worked hard and are developing but you need more out of those positions to get the most out of the offense. And just tell him you think he has what you are looking for to get more out of those positions. Especially center! My point is you show him how much you need him and at the same time you tell him the job is his (without actually saying it) but without bad mouthing your current players.

It's calling a spade a spade given how things are for us now at the position. As long as he can snap the ball & call adjustments he would easily be our Center. Being an All Conference OL & graduating in GT in 3 years triple majoring he will already put in more than the necessary work. 14 hours ago, oracle79 said: I would not only say it, but put it in writing. Until he's injured or someone just steps up and beats him out I would tell him it's his job to lose. I'm normally anti-promise but this is an exception. Like E said, if this guy isn't our center day 1, he's our right guard. Full stop. We'll know pretty quickly if he can play center. If he can't, he's our right guard and off we go into the summer.

I doubt that we will actually resort to begging via a promise. But I would think that any open, honest discussions between him and our staff would assume that he's going to be starting. Like you said, film don't lie. (And I'm talking about his film as much as our guys'.) I would guess that the conversation is less about whether or not he's going to win a job here and more about why Auburn and Auburn football would be the right choice for him. (But lawdy we're a bunch of DAs if we go in too heavy on the "you're gonna have to compete and earn the job" stuff, lol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
