WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The perceived lack of improvement shown during A-day gives more traction to the negative talking points. Yep. Just need Ignont back on campus. I think most would agree that the perceived lack of improvement was on the offensive side of the ball. It was hard to come away from ADay and not be excited about the future of the defense. The negative talking points are that Gus won't be at Auburn much longer. For that to be false, the offense must improve. ^^This^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Gus and his handpicked staff will created a new (improved) reality once the real games start,. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I like Ignot a lot but, if we can get TD, Britt and Wooten I'm a happy man. Love those 3 guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFDTiger80 790 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 We can NOT miss on this guy! Especially to UAT or Smart I agree with you. Ignont may be the best of a terrific group of LB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes I would hate to lose him but I ain't gonna feel terrible if we get 3 or the 4... TD, WI, CW and KJ. Man all 4 would just be sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want Markale Benton? Soph Markail yes. Junior Markail not so much. I see what you're saying, but do you not remember the last 3-4 years? The AU staff sets their sights too high on guys they know they have a slim chance to get, and let the 'under the radar' guys get away. (example) EMB 'should' be at AU right now... but, in typical AU fashion... we made a mess out of his recruitment. We wouldn't accept his commitment because we were too busy wasting time on Ben Davis. So my point is... We aren't loaded at linebacker, by any means! So who the heck are we to turn down ANY solid linebacker prospect?!?!? Y'all wait and see... there's gonna be a lot of "anywhere but Auburn" for some of these instate LB studs... it happens all the time. Britt, Moultry, Benton, Ingot, and the kid from Carver... I'd be surprised (pleasantly) if we got any of those guys... just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying I hope he gets back to his Soph year production of 80+ tackles in the season. He has trimmed back down to his Soph weight but if he has another 32 tackle year like last year then yes I would be concerned at that point about his potential.

No knock on Benton, could be just a JR slump, but if this tells you anything......... uat isn't pushing for a commit from Benton. Damn sure did push Ignont. Why AU didn't push Ignont more has me .

Why AU didn't push Ignont more has me :dunno:/> . Honestly, I don't think we can push anyone for a commitment. We are not in a position of power in the SEC right now. We've got an offensive minded coach with porous defense. And, since 2013 we've been on the decline. And most importantly, we only have 1 mainstay on the defensive coaching staff. So unfortunately, until we 'turn it around'... we're not gonna be in that position of power on the recruiting trail. But to your point... yes, I would've pushed much harder for a commitment from Ignont! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,849 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Transferring to IMG, will be interesting to see how this effects his recruitment since he has been so high on AU for a long time. Been higher on Updyke from what I understand. I actually think it could be to our benefit. Could be wrong, but don't think that's right. Believe he has always had AU as his leader. I was told by a member of Buckhorn's staff many months ago that in his opinion, it was gonna be UAT. I think some AU folks thought we were closer to getting a commitment than we really were. JMO.
