Seems like the Caddy hire would give us more leverage with Cain, which is slightly more than none I'm guessing. 

I thought Cain was signed sealed delivered already?

Actually less than, up to exactly none.

I bet Trey Sanders from IMG that signed with Alabama is running around kicking his self in the butt

Dude,. If somehow that was finagled to get Sanders to AU... It would be a massive game changer.   Don't see it happening though... But dang... Game changer.

247 had MAR a Miami lean over Auburn.  My understanding is MAR is #1 and Griffin #2 on the Auburn board?

If you are talking about crystal ball picks some of them are outdated.

Correct. May not matter. Looks like GT will get Griffin regardless.

Caddy would be Gus's best hire period if he strolled into Tuscaloosa and snatched Trey back with him.

Exactly 

 

go into Tuscaloosa..,and bring him out 

[AlaskanFAN 1,665]

Well let’s get him after Roydell Williams 2020 of Hueytown!

[AuburnNTexas 7,127]

Need to send Caddy for an in-home visit with MAR same for Griffin but with Griffin's brother at GT probably wouldn't help.

There are other RBs in our recruiting region I like better like Tank Bigsby.

Ahh...but who is Gus laser focused on, that’s the question?

He likes Tank a lot.

Bama sent Butch Jones to comfort him after the coaching departures. I’m sure Kirby was saying I told you so through his own expendables.

PFFFFFF..... Williams is the real deal. People who get paid for coaching football in that area have been talking about this kid for years. Might have a little window to get back in this one, bama is looking at taking 3 backs this year. So Williams might be open to some other teams. 

[AU64 10,122]

Fun to see the top  names being recruited but hope we don't just set our eyes on a couple of them to the exclusion of the many other RBs out there. 

JMO but there are no real "game changers" at RB especially if you are just going to run him a dozen times a game.   QB...yes....but RBs are plentiful and no real excuse to end the recruiting season in a battle with several top schools over one or two guys and not already have the hay in the barn.     Swinging for the homerun has not worked that well for us IMO.

No game changers at RB?? Fournette, Chubb, Kerryon, McCaffrey, Gurley... those weren't game changers?

Do what? KJ was one a "game changer".

I've seen some high school coaches in our area that say Williams doesn't look to have the upside Tank does. I have no clue. Just passing the info along.

They were very good but lots of others out there did just as well if you look at the stats for any year they were in college.  And who ae the other "game changers" during those seasons that barely played...just saying that swing and misses are costly when you leave other guys on base.

I agree swing and misses hurt but how can you say Kerryon wasn't a game changer...must less those others guys. Fournette running rough shed through the AU defense a couple years ago and Mathews jumping over him to avoid having to hit him......

And its not about yearly stats that make a person a game changer though those can be indicators.  Its a player who can literally put a team on his back and win the game almost by himself. Like Kerryon did against UGA a couple years ago. You remember those first downs he got where the uga DE was in the backfield and he just ran around him? That is a game changing play by a game changing player.

Probably one reason we have a new RB coach.
