why are we so close to getting kids to commit a lot of times but they never pop for us? seems that has happened more often than other years the last 2 years.

You know why my friend. Current regime's security is being pounded hard on the recruiting trail by our foes. We gotta win big this year to quell that.

This. We should finish top 10 for sure and maybe even top 5 if we play on the field like I expect we will this year.

I like your optimism but as good as we look like at the skill positions I am still worried about the O-Line, lack of depth at Safety, and still not sure if we can get a pass rush with our front 4.   I hope you are right but those are three big Question marks.

I am not worried about the oline at all unless someone like smith or AG go down with injury. Jeff Holland can generate a pass rush. So can Big Cat and PJ. TD will be used in pass rush situations also. Derrick Brown will be a beast this year and will take up 2 blockers alot of the time. Safety with Trigga, Roberts, Thomas, and Ruffin is a solid rotation.  I think we are fine as long as we can get one of the freshman to step up and play some this year. Dinson is also being looked at to play nickel and safety. Daniel Thomas is going to surprise some folks if he has not already the way he came on at end of season with the picks against bama. The depth at safety is one you mentioned that I and worried about but we have a plan for oline and I think our pass rush and front four on defense will be fine.  Cowart is finally making strides toward seeing good amounts of pt which could really help us generate a pass rush from the DT spot. Make no mistake Jeff Holland can get to the qb. Also with our corners as good as they are we can leave them on an island alot of the time and rush a lb. Or bring a safety down into the box against run heavy teams. My main general concern is an injury to one of our top guys like KP or JS, but this is a concern on almost all teams.

Speaking of our DE I believe PJ will be a huge surprise to alot of people this year on how good he can amd should be.

Please keep the thread on Monday or the position/s related to his recruitment, S/DB. This is not a knock on any 1 poster. Just that all encompassing post like AUTexas's tend to invite a massive derailing.

Can we also put a limit on the amount of acronym usage per post? :dead: Kidding (kind of)

I don't see the problem. 90% of them are easy to understand.

So anything new with smoke? Last I remember he could not make it to big cat because of his 7 on 7 team having a game the same day then there was a rush of clemson momentum (dream school apparently and they offered) and have not heard anything else since. Would hate to lose this guy since it seemed we had a huge lead for him just a few weeks ago. He Was def all Auburn recently. But it would be the theme of this years class though...... Jump out to a big lead only for them to commit somewhere else.

You know what they say - when there's smoke there's fire, and Clemson is a burning heap of recruits these days.

Why could we not get our 'bump' in recruiting in 2011 and 2014?  For the life of me....whatever that means.

Because for the most part the natty game next year class bump is a myth. The real bump, if the team stays consistent, comes 4 classes after the natty or natty game appearance. 2014 would have been our bump class but the 2012 season & coach turnover nullified that. Even still we have had 5 or 6 top 10 classes in a row under Malzahn which is the best run for AU in the recruiting site era.

Like E mentioned we have been very good/consistent in regards to recruiting with Gus. I believe we win the SEC and this could catapult us into an elite level. Atm we have a very good shot at getting 2 top 25 players and a dark horse for a 3rd. Now we need players at positions of news like safety though. It is encouraging Monday is still communicating with us but we are a long shot atm. Safety OT and dline are needs for this class. It is not a very deep class at DT and alot of the top DE around South have already committed elsewhere. Losing Jackson hurt us with our DT depth which was looking good before he left.
