I think he truly loves Auburn more than he loved the non car version of herbie. This could end badly for me but I am calling muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh shot.

abw0004 10,110 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hasn’t Horton been his main recruiter all along? I heard even RG has helped a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Regardless of what you see on his 247 profile page, hand was the lead on Gouraige & the reason we were in the lead before yesterday. Now if Horton can use his relationship as Gouraige's area recruiter to help us land him that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I don't get why everyone thinks Grimes is a detriment to recruiting these kids... "Hey Richard, let me introduce you to Coach Grimes. He's the man behind red shirt sophomore Greg Robinson being selected #2 in the NFL Draft in 2014. No lineman has gone that high since."

There's a lot more work in recruiting than that & there are times late in his 1st AU stint before the cancer that he just didn't do enough of the recruiting work.

There's not time for that work on this kid or any other 2018 recruits, and as discussed in the other thread, there were very likely extenuating circumstances behind why he didn't do all of the work in 2015. In any case, Gouraige could care less if he put in the recruiting hours in 2015. I'm sure he either likes Auburn and it's other coaches or he doesn't. I still think Grimes credentials as coach are a stellar selling point. Not many O-Line Coaches can say they had an underclassman drafted in the top 3.

I specifically said precancer for that very reason cuz I know trhat's the circumstance you are referring to. He slowed down before then. 11 minutes ago, lionheartkc said: Gouraige could care less if he put in the recruiting hours in 2015. Didn't say or imply he would. 11 minutes ago, lionheartkc said: I'm sure he either likes Auburn and it's other coaches or he doesn't. Yes and as his area recruiter Horton's our best chance Gouraige, like most recruits, will gravitate to who he has the best relationship with. 11 minutes ago, lionheartkc said: I still think Grimes credentials as coach are a stellar selling point.

Someone else will just have to do the selling sometimes to give AU it's best chances with recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I think we're on different pages @ellitor. I guess I wasn't clear enough that I'm specifically referring to the kids we are trying to close with this year. I think you got the I idea that I was speaking of him as a recruiter going forward. I know recruiting isn't his strong point. I do think the good recruiters can sell his credentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I know you were speaking specifically on Gouraige. I referenced him and the future in my reply. To win Gouraige Horton will have to do it as having the best relationship on our staff due to being Gouraige's area recruiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,649 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Here's hoping this kid realizes how terrible Gainesville is as a city and comes on to the plains. Florida is a mess that Dan Mullen won't be fixing this year or maybe even the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
