KJ's legs have had problems staying healthy enough. Agree with this. Love Kerryon and think he can be a real weapon but he's not a workhorse/20 carry back IMO.

austudnt23 1,432 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Our coaches feel good about us having shot with Asa amd believe it is a toss up rn. I believe it will be bama but I believe we have a shot. I don't think he is an every down back as I have said many times but he likes the way we would use him. Asa has a very good relationship with current players and recruits already committed to AU. Bama people are very confident also which usually never boDEs well for in state kids. We need an everydown back like DP or MT (please come on an official during the season)..... to go along with Asa should we get him. I don't believe he has made up his mind yet.

While you're talking RBs. Any chance we go after webb if we miss on Asa? WDEwde has already given his input and I wanted yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asa is not ahead of DP on our rb board. If anything they are at the top and if we choose to only take 1 whoever commits 1st gets spot. However I believe we would take both but that is just my opinion and havent really asked about that. Asa could be used more in a KJ role catching the ball out of backfield and a do it all player. DP is a rb and an every down 20 plus carry back at that. Saying that I still think Asa to bama atm. Edited July 27, 2017 by austudnt23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our coaches don't feel it is over yet though. We would take DP and call it a day in a second though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,873 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I recently rewatched the LSU game from last year. I had forgotten how good KJ can be between the tackles when he's healthy. He is a very versatile RB. Those ankles though....... As for Asa, it's good to hear we are still in it. And for his sake I do think he would be a better fit at AU, but at the end of the day bama usually gets who they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bammer town, we have gotten a few good ones from there though and maybe we can again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The day Satan leaves bammer will be worse than the Bubonic Plague on steroids in that not so fair city called Tuscaloosa. Bammer fans will be jumping off of the cliffs of the sewerage treatment plant. I am so tired tonight folks in that I cannot sleep due to a change in one of my meds. Sleep will come soon enough though folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,239 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Listening to the Auburn recruiting podcast yesterday, the two guys reporting thought maybe one reason DP committed to Florida was because he felt Martin was committing to Auburn. They added they didn't know for sure. I guess we'll find out for sure on the 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spends a lot of time calling out all the subscription sites for writing false stories for clicks and also using his info. Goes a little overboard IMO and comes off as arrogant to me. But maybe his formula is correct and he has a right to be? I listen to it more when I'm bored FWIW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,127 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The problem with the theory that DP committed to UF as he thought Asa Martin was going to commit to Auburn. It has been mentioned multiple times that whichever one of those two committed to us first that would be it. So he could just as easily committed to AU as UF then Asa would have been the one left out at Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spite of his quirkiness, he's just as accurate (and inaccurate) as any of the guys on the pay sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
