I have never seen "I'm a big fan of..." or "been their fan all my life" make the slightest difference in where a recruit ends up. It falls through so often that I cringe when some kid we want starts the fan stuff, and when somebody we're after says he's been a fan of some other school I think it helps us. Strange but true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,113 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hill's decision could come down to whether he wants to play offense at Auburn or defense at Clemson... https://t.co/JaKI6PfC6q — Jeffrey Lee (@JLeeAURivals) December 30, 2017 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,669 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Well then, he is in no sense committed to Auburn. He said he was committed and accepted our offer in order to reserve a place for himself on the big stage, then went looking for more appealing situations. We're his "Holla' Back Girl", nothing more. I don't know a solution for this way of doing things but I don't like it at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) If Hill has played straight with the coaches, maybe it's ok. I don't see how that is possible. These players know what they are doing and Hill isn't showing much class here IMO. Nothing to base this on, but I feel he is not going to be at Auburn. I didn't know this WR (Chase) was in the mix....anything about him 'leaning' or having ties? I presume he has ties to LSU. I wonder if there is a player that can be flipped that had a tremendous senior year and wants Auburn or wanted an Auburn offer all along....

Recruiting is a big game of chicken and recruits & staffs alike play it. My guess is after Clemson struck out on Smoke they put the full court press on Hill as a Safety. Also Clemson has 0 Safeties in their class while we are poised to sign 3 or 4 WRs in this class to go along with the 8 on roster returning as of now. If he is open to playing DB he may see there as an earlier opportunity for PT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,694 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 HILL HAS BEEN PISSING ME OFF FOR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!! He is one of those legit lifelong fans and not just someone who says it. He grew up a AU fan and was raised that way this hay should of been put in the barn already THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!! Not only did he not sign in the early signing period (IDC that he said for months he was always going to wait.) He did not help us recruit anyone and looks to have distanced himself from AU. How as a AU fan and commit can you go to the georgia and bama games and not just end your recruitment right there?! We still may hang on to him but the coaches should not be having to put this much time and resources hanging on to this guy. Really disappointed in him. He was a guy I had pegged as one of the leaders of this class when he committed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two guys, just in his class, are gonna be much better safeties than him. Mr. Hill is a heckuva receiver, he needs to come show it at AU. Having said that, if Clemson wanted him as a WR I could unfortunately understand why he’d pick them over us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
