Why are we comparing him at all? There's no one on the team he's comparable to... Hastings isn't the guy. Just interesting that multiple AU boards are all having the same problem with people comparing the two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, we compare recruits to current or former players if we can. 4 minutes ago, ClaytonAU said: Hastings isn't the guy. Who is? Both are short and slow route runners that are also white. Hate to break it to you, but Oliver's game is tmore comparable to Hastings than to other receivers on our team like Stove or Kyle Davis. For one, Oliver is a possession receiver, so that eliminates Davis and half the receivers on our roster, and he isn't as athletic as Stove.

Martin was at the top of our list for the tough, scrappy, high motor, high football IQ, big heart, not-that-athletic-but-has-all-the-intangibles, comes from a good family, well spoken, great locker room guy role, so this is a huge pickup. (I heard a similar bit on sports radio here in Atlanta. The black guys laughed, the white guys laughed, it was beautiful. I'm hoping to join hands across the aisle in this thread with humor. I don't anticipate success, but I made me laugh.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 He plays fast on the field, he is a football player with a high football IQ, not a 7 on 7 track athlete. He creates separation by running clean routes, good fakes and cleanly catching a ball. He got Duke Williams on field ability minus being Duke WIlliams, IMO.

aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That's a fast shuttle time. Come on down to family in the land of real football, Oliver - just look what the very average (by SEC standards) Gators did to the Hawkeyes last month.

autan 737 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Not sure why this is being discussed. Probably less than 1% chance the kid signs with Auburn. Even less after reading or hearing about some of the comments by so called fans. Put me in the group that hopes Martin visits AU. Will be good experience for him and our program.

metafour 4,969 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 By the way; the fact that Oliver supposedly only runs a "4.65" only matters if you actually believe that every other HS kid who reports a "4.4" is telling the truth (hint: they aren't). A reported 4.65 does not mean that he can not run down the field, nor does it limit them to "possession receiver" status. That is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver is as comparable to Tony Stevens as he is to Will Hastings, dumba$$. Just LMFAO @ comparing some 5'7 scrub to a ~6'0 kid and then claiming it has nothing to do with skin color. If Oliver were black with the exact same traits (same height, same reported speed, same tape) there would be zero chance in hell that you (or anyone else) would ever bring up Hastings' name in the same sentence.

Says the person who pointed out that Duke was slow in the forty and the biggest bust in auburn history And I reject the notion that Oliver is four to five inches taller.

Duke was 4.72 as a grown-ass man who had spent how many years in a collegiate S&C program? See the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
