So I am guessing we need to wait to fire Herb Hand until after we sign Gourraige?

Gus ain't firing Hand. You can put that dream to rest.

I would love to get this kid. Like everyone says, the interior OL and DL plus backers are how you win championships. Our DL was good this year and somehow our OL needs to get to our DL's level.

Really liking your optimism on the OL recruiting!

Agreed, I'm going to turn into a broken record but I'd love for us to pick up some impact players on the OL.

This would be a great pick up.  Dude is athletic and built strong. In watching his junior highlights, he looks like he needs to work on his speed and footwork. He has a good frame. I think he will need a redshirt year, but he has very good potential.

Struggled against Cox & Amora but everyone did. Did fine against the rest of the DEs.

Lets bring the big boy in to the fold! Definitely need as much talent on the line as possible. At the very least we need the starting spots to be competitive.

Wilfong the 247 national guy crystal balled him to clemson. I hope this is more like his trey hill to AU pick and not his others. He is USUALLY right when he makes a pick. OF COURSE he was wrong about trey hill to au lol.

No worries. We’ve got the infamous “our staff has a high level of confidence” feeling.  ?

Way too many recruits describe our coaches as cool and laid back. That works for establishing relationships. Closing a deal often requires relentless and intense, and I'm afraid we don't have that guy, with T Will possibly being an exception. Gouraige needs a super strong closer and Hand is not that.

are you the same guy who said that on 247 that I just read?! genuinely curious because I agree!!! And I just think that is what happens when we have to be different from other schools and our whole pitch is the AU family, atmosphere, the "nice" school and just trying to be as different as georgia/kirby and alabama/saban in general. We have to be polar opposites as them. It has helped us get these top 10 classes but it def breeds a certain aura around our coaches as their buddy and friend being all laid back and chill. We need more KILLERS in closing time!! I believe in garner and twill when it comes to big boy recruiting but is there another one like that on our staff? We will learn a lot about kodi down the stretch this cycle.
