I'm okay if we keep trying to do the impossible there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others visit and are looking for something else If any Spring weekend tour of Auburn by a prospective recruit does not include at least a Saturday afternoon drive by of the lake at Chewacla park, then shame on Auburn's coaching staff for under utilizing available resources.

I saw that you said he wants to shut it down but a teammate staying on his case is a little different than coaches bugging him. I know there are different linemen we can go after but I do like him and I think having both would really sky rocket our appeal for a few others. I'm greedy I know. No. Pruitt is in his 1st year at UTk.That gives him usually a minimumof a 3 year grace period in recruiting. That's short term security at least. In terms of winning recruiting battles relationships with college coaches mean more than current & potential future teammates. Don't get me wrong teammates definitely help but coach relationships win the day. For example, if we get Pappoe we become an immediate threat to 5* CB Andrew Booth but Coach Woodson will still have to do the following to get the W...

This year State of AL has 3 elite OL recruits, a rare if ever occurrence in our state. Right now UAT stands to sign all 3. ( Two 5*s and one very high 4*). Huge disappointment. Hopefully Bo Nix and our Staff can find a way to perform some magic with Webb (the best of the three).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how missing them are disappointments. Bama already led for them due to family allegiance & what not. Changing the OL coach just made it that much tougher to land kids we were already behind on. If Hand did stay Webb was the only one we had a shot with anyway.

Always appreciate your insight on these things E! Booth would be an amazing get as well. We were talking in the N Dean thread about hoping to get him and OP.

He has a big opportunity in front of him. With him and T-Will we could do BIG things at LB for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple in Georgia and Florida. But we trail big for these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think of/heard of the new kid from UMass? Based on your answer, is he a gap-filler to help spring a SEC title run/Natty? Should Stidham be happy?

And I do believe Stidham is very happy, he is the one who really closed the deal. He was signed to start. Our existing OT's are just very average at best.
