JMassie11 1,610 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 There are several O linemen that we could potentially talk to including a few starters that are available. There’s also a safety from South Alabama that was once a ND commit that caught my eye. Thoughts? https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/Article/NCAA-transfer-portal-names-players-destinations-127866941/Amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Several OLs we could get ahold of. Larry Boyd from Illinois is one name that looks promising as I believe he would have 3 years of eligibility remaining. Jesus Gibbs from South Carolina is another body. Lots of grad transfer O-linemen but certainly could take a look at some of these undergrads. Edit: Wow, Illinois is losing some O-linemen. Another guy we might want to take a look at from them is Andrew Trainer who is 6'7, 300 lbs. Looks like he may have 3 years remaining as well. Also, remember Tray Bishop? Wonder if we'd bite again...

My guess is we take an undergrad OT & graduate WR to replace Slayton. FWIW Kodi Burns just followed George Campbell on Twitter who is in the transfer portal.

AuburnNTexas 7,128 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I am going to help E out. Lets get back to the Portal thread. Has Auburn shown any interest in any of the Undergrad O-Lineman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone1430 1,346 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Anybody heard anything about the Tennessee OT Richmond? Looks like he was a full time starter last year for them and played some in 2016. Was a 4 star prospect we offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,789 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Off that wire we could immediately use George Campbell (WR), Richmond (OT), Gibbs (OT), Malik Robinson (ILB) and Trey Bishop (S). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,128 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Richmond has one year left to play so unless he is a graduate he would sit out one year and be able to play in 2020 which would help us buy time assuming we can get some good OT's next year and give them one Redshirt year to get ready for SEC football. If he will graduate then he could come in for next year but even if he was good enough to start would only help with depth. Ideally we need somebody who transfers with 2 years of Eligibility so we have time to recruit and develop some 4 year players. But he would still be a great get if he has to sit out next year.

I believe he’s a graduate so could immediately plug and play. I know it’s only one year but with our situation we need bodies and I have a feeling he’d be better than troxell or Driscoll at RT which is where he started last year. More bodies makes competition and hopefully makes someone improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he could beat out Tega or Driscoll & doubt he would want to try. Also he's a GT Tackle. If we take a transfer tackle it's much more likely to be an undergrad that can go in 2020.

Roos 122 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I was looking at the Transfer Portal and Illinois has 3 or 4 very large OT and a center looks like, are we taking interest in these guys, 2 just completed their F season another with his Soph season, and the center his jr season. E- you heard anything on these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I thought Gus would start recruiting Junior College transfers rather than going after more grad transfers. JUCO players have 2 years. A grad transfer only has 1 year and then he moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
