ellitor 33,082 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Per an article title he was tagged in on AUC Nick Brahms will visit AU this week. It will be his 3rd AU visit in 5 months. He is a major Center target for AU. Edited June 15, 2016 by ellitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austudnt23 1,432 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure when he will publicly commit, but NB is all AU. If you count silent commits then NB has already committed. Edited June 16, 2016 by austudnt23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this holds up. A great C is hard to find and can be the difference in an average OLine and a great OLine. I went back and saw that he plays T now and is projected as a G. So why is the thread title C? Edited June 16, 2016 by lkeel75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I believe we're recruiting him as a Center. I remember reading something from Big Cat or somewhere around there, and he mentioned that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I love 3 to 4 year starters at C; like Pugh and Dismukes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is the thread title C? The title was changed because we are recruiting him at Center. I rarely check the OP for changes so if it says guard then that's why. Thread titles always take prescedence since they are the easiest to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silents mean nothing to me anymore. At least 1 and up to 3 that I know of from BCW has changed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austudnt23 1,432 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Yeah silent mean nothing to me either. Benton was a silent commit for around 2 years and we see how that one turned out. NB is definitely all Auburn atm though. Edited June 16, 2016 by austudnt23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Dumb question when we get a Silent is it usually because the coaches want it that way so that they can get a commit at a time that will help the team or is it usually because the commit wants it that way? While I know that people who publicly commit do change their mind I would think it is harder to change a public commit then a silent commit. If coaches are asking somebody to wait for a commit for an impact time are they not taking a risk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If coaches are asking somebody to wait for a commit for an impact time are they not taking a risk? I don't think the coaches want kids to hold off. I suppose there could be some specific case where they are 100% positive about an impact player, but I think normally they want the kid to come out and make it public. There's a lot of positive that comes from a good prospect announcing in public. Remember, the coaches themselves might let a prospect know their preferences but coaches cannot say anything to the press about a commitment. That has to come from the player.

I'm with Mikey... if the coaches ask a kid to hold off, it's only for a couple of days, if there happens to be a strategic time coming up. They aren't going to tell a kid to stay silent for an extended period. I think the main reason a kid stays silent is to keep people off his back, like if he's from an area that is predominantly pro another school.

austudnt23 1,432 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 There are circumstances where a coach will ask a kid to not go public with his commitment yet. This is not one of those situations though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austudnt23 1,432 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yes I know this. He told coaches and recruits at BCW he would be coming to AU. RE was another silent and he also told our coaches once again the night before signing day he would be coming to Auburn. Just to sign with UAT 12 hours later. When it comes to state of alabama kids I really don't put any stock into a silent commit especially with a kid UAT is after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelius Bennett, while leaving a basketball game on Tuesday night, told one of his high school coaches the night before signing day he was going to sign the next day with Auburn. Next morning Bennett was seen getting out of a black Ford car with two white men in it. The rest is history.

Mikey 16,576 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Unless my memory has failed, Todd was a public commit to Auburn. Then some muckety-muck way up job unexpectedly became available at UAT's nursing school and, what a coincidence! Todd's everyday work-a-day nurse mom in Mobile turned out to be the best qualified nurse in the whole state! She got the job and Bryant got her son, the QB. Funny how things just seem to work out over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
