I don't think the staff has made a call yet 1 way or the other. If they have they ain't letting it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As posted in the Langham thread his offer may actually be at OT for example. Man, it is going to be really not good to not get at one additional OL in this class, IMO.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We only have 2 OL committed. Hopefully coach Grimes can either sign 2 more high OL or get 2 from the JUCO ranks. We also need help with DB's and DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,108 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 In my opinion, we do not take any more DL's. We have enough committed for the rotation RG likes and good depth. Also next year's class has a lot of great prospects we have really good shots at getting. For me, the more important pieces are OL and DB for this class.

However, if we can't get the quality we need at those other positions we may fall back to "best available regardless of position". That's going on everywhere right now, not just at Auburn.

Fills depth and does the job even if they’re not recruiting world beaters. I’m only going to get 1 right apparently. I didn’t want Watson that much though.

abw0004 10,108 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I honestly think we have a major issue with how many people we want to sign and only 2-3 spots left. I don't want a situation like Alabama did where they got a kid to commit to them, and then Alabama never sent him the LOI because they wanted someone else last second on NSD. I still remember the picture taken of that kid heartbroken sitting next to his fax machine for the LOI that never came for him to sign. He ended up signing with Arkansas, but that is really bad PR.

I don't think we approach it that way. We seem to always have one or two that were told to not commit anywhere, wait and see if there's a space for you. That way they can still sign with UAB or wherever if AU doesn't get back to them by, say, noon. If we have the slot, then we let them know ASAP. Recent examples are Whitlow last year, Thomas the year before him and the Late Ladarius Phillips, a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
