AUIH1 1,515 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Very nice pick up!! I believe Herb Hand will continue to have a positive affect on OL recruiting. I am also optimistic that he will have a positive affect on the field as well as an OL coach and contributing to game plans on O. wde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR 2,427 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hand seems to be making a big impact in recruiting. Hopefully he can convince Gus to change up some of his schemes that have went stale and try some new things offensively. This O-Line class is stacked.

Talking OL this class is shaping up better by a considerable margin. All 3 commits are rated higher than the 5 from 2015, Ashley & Troxell greatly so. In fact as ratings are now we are 1 mid level 3* away from passing that class on the composite and will still take another after that.

corchjay 5,311 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Nick got a big bump up from 247 after the opening. From player 153 up to number 69. This is the 247 rating not the composite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 247 rating not the composite. Not a ratings bump. He's been high on 247 only since mid April where he was #64. The 153 is his composite rating. When you are looking at the Top 247 list of 247 only the number in gray is the composite ranking, not where they were previously on the 247 only rankings.

ellitor 33,062 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Bad news. Nick broke his leg in practice... Quote Four-star Auburn offensive guard commit Nick Brahms of Navarre (Fla.) sustained a broken bone in his right leg and some ligament damage during practice Wednesday. He'll have to have surgery, but according to his father "it could have been much worse." "The good news is he did not dislocate his ankle," Keith Brahms told AuburnUndercover. "That would have been major." The younger Brahms has a broken fibula, also known as the calf bone, in his right leg. "He's fine," Keith Brahms said. "He's not in any pain. At first, he was obviously in some pain right when it happened. But I think he was more freaked out than in pain. There was still some swelling this afternoon." At this time, Nick Brahms has a brace on his knee. "He's just relaxing," Keith Brahms said. "We're going to the doctor Monday. If the swelling is down enough, he'll do the surgery on Tuesday." How long Brahms will be out with the injury isn't know, but his father estimated "at least a couple months." According to Keith Brahms, his son spoke to Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and offensive line coach Herb Hand about the injury. "We're just thankful he's committed already," Keith Brahms said. "Coach Malzahn and Coach Hand were 100 percent supportive. That put his mind to rest." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
