Definitely would hurt for sure, but I don't know if it would top that. We have been conditioned that Pickens would flip at any time. The others came out of nowhere. I mean Foster even had an AU tattoo on his arm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a big part of our problem there is that we keep not going after the best OL coach available and sticking with guys Gus knows. Grimes is a negative in recruiting. Herb Hand was a mild positive at best. Time and time again we've been beat over the head with "Recruiting is all about building relationships. You can't expect great results the first year" I don't know why Grimes doesn't get this same benefit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,666 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Niehbur with the continued play by play!! I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE to get his truthful unfiltered off the record thoughts about Pickens. I am sure it is a doozy. Un real this kid has been committed for over 500 days and he is still un sure. George and have mom have been handing off the phone to each other. Hoover's HC now walking out toward them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, CyKo, Foster and Evans were all at positions of much greater need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djg0017 726 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Strange to me. Miami has slightly stricter admissions hurdles than Auburn. At least that has been my experience with people who have applied to both. Not sure if it’s different for athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Troop was out everybody who was paying attention knew Foster was gone despite the blood oath he signed with the tattoo, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
