gr82b4au 5,568 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well that hurts depth. Not that he was going to make a difference but we are in deep **** after this year. Amazing that he wants to transfer when next year every position will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kd4au 1,145 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just add CA to the list of 5 star bust we've had. Seems the only 5 stars we get are the ones no other teams want. Before yall go listing all the ones that are not bust, I know we have had a few be successful. Just feels like we have more bust than succeed.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wish the young man the best. I had high hopes for Calvin and hope he can get it together a be a quality player wherever he lands. Gotta work overtime to recruit and sign a lot of OTs soon and very soon.

autan 737 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Most of us have probably been expecting this for some time now. Sorry it didn't work out for the young man but we needed to put this behind us and move on before spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUB78 1,354 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Another 5-star leaving the program. Gus doesn't seem to have much success with the few 5-stars he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird 60,367 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Sent to me by my cousin. I'm not sure where he got it. ** Auburn will now go into spring with 13 scholarship offensive linemen and add three signees in May to bring the fall total to 16 (plus any transfers). With six seniors, that will leave 10 OL going into the offseason. Clearly, Auburn needs to address the position with transfers. There's concern of having adequate backups in 2019 but more than anything, finding five new starters in 2020. Finding a couple transfers that have to sit out a year and then have a year or two of eligibility left would be a big plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,972 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Five star rating is where he peaked apparently. If he truly doesn’t have hard feelings he won’t find a better opportunity than he has right here. I hoped he would stay and overcome whatever is holding him back. I hate to say it but I didn’t think we’ll ever hear from him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,817 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If Gus makes it through this coming season he's damn sure getting fired after the next. That OL is going to be the worst of my lifetime as it stands right now. I don't see how it changes, to be honest. Everybody prepare yourselves.

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 So just curious... If you put your name in the transfer protal, does that mean you are absolutely gone? I mean if he is enrolled in class as stated in the article, then he could this just be him fishing to see what is out there and when he finds out nobody is willing to offer him then he stays.

So just so I understand, you are saying that even if Gus does great this year he is ALREADY on the hot seat for the 2020. Come on now.

Come on now. Let's make it through 2019 before we start piling on Gus for 2020 What I am saying is that no matter how good this coming season is, 2020 is set up to be an absolute train wreck of epic proportions with how the OL is looking. This is the chief reason why he will be shown the door by end of 2020. Poor OL = no points/frequent punts = no rest for defense = D getting worn down each game = Defense will be a shell of themselves by the time November rolls around. We've seen this before but imagine the OL being worse than we have ever seen. We are much closer to being at that spot than having just a serviceable line for 2020. Replacing 5 starters on an OL especially with how we've been recruiting on the OL would be a death sentence for any coach, not just Gus. But this has been a long and slow burn that we've all been seeing play out and it will eventually be the reason the bottom falls out for Gus IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,606 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Our 5* Players Byron Cowart - Bust for us Derrick Brown - Solid Michael Dyer - Solid then Bust Tray Blackmon - Bust Montravius Adams - Drafted Cadillac Williams -Drafted Christian Westerman - Bust for Us Carl Lawson - Drafted Roc Thomas - Bust for us Owen Pappoe - we'll see Calvin Ashley - Bust Tre Williams - Solid Trovon Reed - Drafted but still an overall bust for us Bo Nix - we'll see Ben Obamanu - Drafted Jason Campbell - Drafted Lemarcus Rowell - Bust So, not counting this year's class, we have had 3 five star players since 2015 with a "success" rate of 1/3.
