KB is likely to commit in early or mid December. You may be right and I may be wrong. Or vice versa. Like you said, misses in recruiting happen. Either way, I believe we'll both be satisfied with Bryant's decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but you shove your opinions down reader's throats so hard they barely need your horn tooted when you're right. Score your damn TD, quitely give the ball to the ref, & do it again. Not attacking you or being disrespectful in any way. Just saying, much like myself, You have a very loud Internet voice so your opinions are easily remembered.

Nothing wrong with that as I believe Bryant will give Gus' offense a shot in the arm reintroducing the zone read. He's not afraid to run up the gut in traffic like Hurts is. But Marshall had elite quickness, speed and arm strength, all better than even Cam. The only thing that will give the offense a shot in the arm will be some OL who can block With the current slate of OL talent on the roster and not alot of help on the way I don't see KB ending up on the plains.

Agreed with the first statement. As for the 2nd statement, out of the four programs he's seriously considering (Auburn, Arkansas, Missouri and North Carolina), who's offense and returning offensive personnel is best? Arkansas?? Their OL can't even keep Ty Storey healthy for three consecutive games. That guy has taken a beating every single game, only paralleled by Deondre Francois. Arkansas has no playmakers. At all. North Carolina, one of the worst teams in the country?? Missouri? Sure, they have a good offense. But it's Missouri. And they're halfway across the country from Clemson. Auburn is close to home. The offense has three awesome starting WRs returning + Stove and Hastings. The entire OL and RBs will be back. No, they're not good now, but Gus can sell that they're young and will be more experienced a year from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn has given up one more sack than Arkansas has. But Storey has taken a beating running the ball, not exactly built for an RPO offense but he's the best we have right now. Agree about the playmakers part. Outside of TE Cheyenne O'Grady and RB Rakeem Boyd there is no one. I expect to see a lot of freshmen playing at WR next year. Bielema did not recruit much speed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlife alumni 304 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 A running QB would take a lot of pressure of of the O-line. Force the D to respect his legs on runs and force better containment. This, makeing the O-line would look better. Maybe not perfect but better. Combine this with the progression of the WRs and you force defenses to play different also helping the run. I hope AU gets him for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bielema did not recruit much speed at all. Which furthers my point. Bryant will not attempt to impress NFL scouts with no one to throw to. At AU, he has Slayton, Williams, Schwartz, Stove and Hastings. None of them will start in the league, but as a quintet, they are light years better than Arkansas’ best five. Storey looks to run straight ahead more than Stidham does, thus why one less sack. Stidham always flashes back to high school and believes he can outrun the rush towards the sideline.

Since Marshall finished his playing days at Auburn, we have not signed a legit 4 or 5 star DT/QB. If Gus really wants to improve his W/L record at Auburn, he needs to sign a legit DT QB. We signed Gatewood, but Gus has other things planned for him instead of QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Bryant would be a great placeholder while Nix/Sandberg develop. Maybe Gatewood too. I have my doubts about Malik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think he is better than any other QB we have on campus right now however I would like to see what Nix has to offer. KB can't throw, right? I mean a true freshman (albeit a very good one) beat him out. It seems like hB would be very good in a read-option offense aka AU 2013 but we would need better OL play and a stud RB to go with him. I think Nix is going to shock a lot of people. He is very good.
