I remember when they took us to the woodshed in '82 in Auburn, Rimington strolled out onto the field - by himself - after all other players had cleared the field following pre game warmups. Imposing moment that momentarily hushed a pretty wild crowd. I remember thinking, what's he doing? He looked around and just strolled back to the locker room. The dude was legendary and he was a center. I was at that game and I vividly remember him taking Dowe Aughtman wherever he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,578 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 The more I mull over what I've read on Clay the more I'm agreeing with WDE. It just doesn't seem like he's legitimately interested. I would guess he is a silent commit that just wants to enjoy some attention when he announces. Hoping I'm wrong but I'm ready to focus on prospects looking to commit a little sooner and with a little more shown interest our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows saying it's a long shot is like calling the ocean "damp", but I also have to believe that if we are making any headway, no one is going to publicize it for the sake of the kid. Announcing a high profile bama lean from a bama family is considering Auburn is like throwing the kid to the wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read recently that some of our commits, specifically Nix, are making Webb a priority, but I agree with @lionheartkc, calling our chances a long shot is a huge understatement.

"David was a 17 point underdog to Goliath"~~~Coach Jordan, circa 1972. Maybe we'll block two punts and get Webb's signature next signing period.

I think a better example would be if we had signed Marlon Humphrey or something like that of a big time UAT legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have already conceded him to the Dark Side. So yes, it would be a huge upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 737 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Don't have any inside info. Just a hunch that there is a chance (albeit a very slim one). We know Pierce and Webb are friends but Nix is also in Webb's ear in a good way I think. UA QB commit Tyson is HS teammate with Pierce so I would think they are very close. Webb could immediately become a leader of AU OL and I think he would thrive blocking for two potential All-Americans in Bo Nix and Asa Martin. Nix is the Wild Card if AU pulls off the huge upset. Not getting my hopes up though. Heart says Tide but Tigers might be the better business deal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, those days will never end unless UAT is no longer fielding a football team. Mobile is another area where that thinking predominates. The only difference is that Mobile is a lot larger area, population-wise and we can slip some through the cracks more easily down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
