We hope the D staff is kept but not a given unless we get info from someone like WDE that Steele stays regardless. You don't put any faith in Marcello hearing from Greene that Gus is going to be the coach next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with AU that we are not a school for someone to learn on the job any more. He is lb coach. He needs a lot more time and understanding before granting him a DC job. I’m assuming Steele has a few good years left in him, and is a great teacher. That’s why I said give him the title DC in waiting, not DC right now. It’s a common gesture of respect for talented young coaches like T Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerFanAU 586 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Time to start worrying? Pappoe would do great under T-Will, look at the way Steele and T-Will have developed D. Davis. But it appears he plans to visit Knoxville again. That's twice in 45 days. We have just as much playing time opportunity as Tenn does at LB, but we are a much better overall program. It's going to take years, if its even possible, for Tenn to even think about making it to Atlanta. However, OP appears to be headed back... Quote I see one more solid than the other at this time. I still like Auburn’s chances with George Pickens at this time, but Alabama is still one to watch. With Owen Pappoe , Tennessee is a real threat. Georgia is expecting him on campus this weekend, but the Vols are viewed more of a threat to Auburn than the Bulldogs at this time. Pappoe was in Knoxville last week for the Charlotte game instead of being at Auburn for the Texas A&M game. There is a lot of chatter behind the scenes right now about Pappoe and Tennessee. The Vols are expecting him in Knoxville on Dec. 14, the last weekend before the Early Signing Period. So Auburn should be worried here. I do feel Alabama is a threat for Pickens, but not at the same level Tennessee is for Pappoe. https://n.rivals.com/news/simmons-mailbag-haselwood-pappoe-sopsher-and-more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I have always thought that OP would stay with AU but I think things are changing. The Morris/UT thing really has changed things. The UT loss was also very harmful. It seems that instead of OP recruiting Morris to Auburn, Morris is recruiting OP to Tennessee. Auburn was expecting him last weekend for TAM and he went to UT instead for a Charlotte game (a nobody game). That speaks volumes. I have also heard (rumor at this point on Rivals) that he may now be going to UT for the December 14-16th weekend. That is the weekend he is supposed to officially visit Auburn. If he chooses to visit TN - it is over. He may stick with AU in the end (because of his love for Twill) but it looks much less certain right now. More like 50/50 IMO.

National or regional reporters don't know jack compared to People connected to the program & team reporters. I will reitterrate what WDE & now B-Wolk has said in a way people can't miss if the come to this page of the thread. Auburn is good with Pappoe as long as T-Will is in place & T-Will will be back so we should be good here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if he was headed to a different campus and just enjoying the festivities of the recruiting process then its not really an issue. But packing his bags, making the 200+ mile trip to a place he's already been before is really odd. But I guess technically he wasn't on an official visit last time and didn't get to enjoy the pampering experience that schools typically do on OV's.

He has 2 OVs left & I think both schools get them. That said I still trust what WDE knows & what sounds like Wolk may know too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,239 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 He has stated he will stick with AU as long as T-Will remains on staff. Does he think T-Will may be leaving. I certainly hope that isn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they fail to get three, then they claim the plan is now two. If it shrinks to one or zero signees, "we're in good shape at LB anyway" will be the card that's played. All three starters are seniors and we'll need some replacements. I hope this class isn't another 2016 when one was signed and that one didn't work out here.. '16 should be close enough that it's still on people's minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
