My only complaint will be if he shoves it down Auburn's throat some day. Like being a 5 year old at the dinner table again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datank45 44 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Mississippi St offer for Webb. Major P5 schools are now showing interest. Including his dream school and some Pac12 schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Webb is going to have a lot of choices before his recruiting is finished. I think it is a potential double edge sword for AU. If we take him and a RB we pass on balls out, we will think twice about it, or if we don't take him and he balls out at some P5 school we will be thinking twice about it. Of course, if we take him and he breaks all rushing records at AU then it does not matter what happens at the other schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the quality of RB's in this class if we don't take him and he balls out at another P5 School it will still be ok if the guy we picked instead of him balls out at Auburn. If we do pick him up I will be very happy but if we don't because we have another RB rated higher I will be happy with that to. There is a plethora (that is my $5.00 word for the day) of great RB's to choose from this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back and looking link AU has not had a lot of luck putting these guys in the pros. AU has had 2 go pro (KJ yet to be determined) while Bama has had 4 go pro. The better question is: Does it speak more negative to the award or the talent in AL that only 7 of these guys in 35 years has gone pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is merely for recognition of past accomplishments, and it is always given to a skill player. It is in no way a predictor of future success nor a meaningful statement on the overall talent in the state. Be happy for the kids who win it but don't look for meaning in it.

GwillMac6 20,607 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Aight muhhhh dudes whats the word on this young man? His numbers are out of this world. I am guessing it is the size is why we have not offered as of now. I admit I have not paid that much attention to him since my favorite RB in this class is Harold Joiner and I have been focused on him a lot more.

Datank45 44 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Tough kid he is small 5'8 184 ,but strong as a bull good vision even better balance great blocker for his size. Harold is a good jumbo ATH with speed to burn. Two other RB's I like are Tae Provens of Madison County (may end up being a WR in college) and Kavosiey Smoke of Wetumpka high school he's in the 6'0-5'11 210 range. Both have SEC offers, but I haven't heard their names mentioned to much when it comes to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is size is part of it But also there aren't as much receiving being shown in his highlights as the other RBs we have offers. Using RBs as a receiving weapon seems to be important to Chip.

Kid actually has good hands. The thing I like about Joiner if he doesn't work. out at RB with his size speed and receiving ability he can easily play TE or WR.

aufan57 922 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Quote La'Damian Webb doesn't have an offer from Auburn yet, but he's remaining patient. "They're telling me that they're going to wait and see," said Webb after his trip to Auburn last weekend for Junior Day. "I'll wait it out for a while and see how it goes." The state's reigning Mr. Football winner has picked up offers from Bowling Green, Indiana, Iowa State, Louisville, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Toledo and Troy so far. He's hoping to add Auburn to that list soon. "It would be pretty good," Webb said. "They'd definitely be in my top five. "I like their playing style. I think I'd be a great fit with them. They said I'm perfect with the offense they run, especially with the new offensive coordinator, Chip (Lindsey). I'd give them more options to get the ball open in space." The 5-foot-8, 184-pounder put up big-time numbers as a junior at Beauregard in nearby Opelika last fall. He tallied 3,342 rushing yards and a state-record 53 total touchdowns. Beauregard defeated Wenonah 33-13 in the AHSAA Class 5A state championship game in December as Webb rushed a whopping 51 times for 359 yards and five scores. Mr. Football La'Damian Webb see new recruiting interest Hornets coach Rob Carter said Alabama, Auburn and North Carolina have shown interest in the last week. "With (things like) the inside zone, he's got the ability to not be seen," Beauregard head coach Rob Carter told AL.com in January. "He kind of hides behind all those big linemen." Webb has no timetable for a commitment and has "not really thought" about narrowing down his list of offers yet. Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn has signed three of the last five Mr. Football winners in Alabama -- Jeremy Johnson in 2012, Roc Thomas in 2013 and Kerryon Johnson in 2014. Auburn already holds one commitment from a running back in the 2018 recruiting cycle. Three-star all-purpose back Shaun Shivers (5-foot-5, 175 pounds) joined the class last October. Webb is ranked as a three-star prospect and the nation's No. 33 running back in the 247Sports Composite. http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2017/03/ladamian_webb.html#incart_river_home_pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
