NoALtiger 3,849 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 We could do a heck of a lot worse than if we end up with this kid. Some guys are born ballers and he's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Guy is a banger. 247 says he is 6'2" and 215 now. He looks fast on the field and likes contact. Kid is just a real football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDUBB4AU 5,109 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Could be a zac Cunningham type kid. everyone misses then he turns into an all american . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 TJ has a lot of good offers and OVs. AU is not in his top 5, probably because we haven't shown much interest. Some lucky team will be getting outstanding LB. Probably will end up with his brother at UAB but I sure hope AU will give this kid a chance. He'll play special teams or anywhere and leave 110% on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I just don't know if we get Rice or Taylor, so think we go after him if so. I also think Rice is the best of all 3 but all 3 are can't miss players imo. Taylor is more Raw imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Taylor has great skills but looks more Raw than Rice Imo... TJ has great instincts but isn't as ready to play college ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PikesEagle 168 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If we do take another LB and since we missed on Rice, Taylor being a possible thuga lean and McBride a highly doubtful pickup, does Johnston become a take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGA is not recruiting TT hard. It's us or Oklahoma. And there is talk we may not be recruiting TT hard now either. Johnston would not be an automatic take. AU may stick with 3 LBs in this class.

AuburnNTexas 7,133 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I am confused up to a few days ago I thought we wanted Taylor or Rice badly now I am hearing we didn't really want either. Is that just sour grapes or did things come up that made us change our minds. Also if that is the case why not take Johnston I have watched his film he is to quote another poster a tackling machine. He has good size and speed for a linebacker also and great instincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is correct, means Auburn will have only taken four linebackers, total, the past two recruiting classes. Is that enough to ensure adequate depth in upcoming seasons?

But no 4 in 2 years or 2 per year is not enough to ensure good depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
