I would rather that we take a stance and take him off of our list. The one thing that I agree with the midget in turdtown on is that if you are looking, we are looking. I hope we have a solid plan B. I want DB to be in this class, but we need confirmation or we need to go after someone else. It's too close to signing day to be playing games with kids that are still visiting and making statements like that. I think at this stage of the game we're stuck. Barrett is considered by many to be the best RB prospect in Florida and there isn't anybody else out there that could possibly serve as a quality replacement. We have A. Williams committed, but his grades are a question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all bets are off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,127 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Lindsey and Horton need to finalize this young man. I have great faith in Horton so I think when all is said and done we will get him but with young men you never know for sure until you have the fax in hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hope it's just me but seems a little shaky at RB. OM and DB still visiting and AW would be too (probably) except for academics. I'm sure we have backup plans (JUCOs or Grad. transfers) but it's hard to be real excited about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Just can't understand why any kid wouldn't want to play for Coach Horton at RBU. That should, by far, be the easiest position for us to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think we keep Barrett. Like WDE-WDE said, I will be very nervous if Clemson comes calling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW is in good shape to qualify now & AU is in a good spot with DB at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plainsman 948 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) I think Barrett is AU all the way. Remember Craig Meyers did the same LY... Looked at South Carolina I think... I think he is just enjoying this last shot of being recruited and I don't blame him. Edited January 23, 2017 by The Plainsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 E do you think AW actually plays RB? I don't. DB is the real deal imo, he is as important as Moultry imo, does Matthews remind u of Brad Lester? does me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-1 3,821 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hope we can seal the deal with this guy. He is what I like to call a glider, doesn't wow you with highlight reel moves, but subtly moves past you. Played against a guy like him years ago. You break down to tackle him, and all of a sudden he disappears. Don't think he has elite speed, but neither did Emmet Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very surprised the year he went to the combine to find out he wasn't faster than he was. He was one of those that looked like he was faster than he was I guess. He seemed to always hit the hole 100mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,239 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Looking at his highlights he looked so effortless runhinged he didn't look fast. I would bet he runs a sub 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
