autigeremt 6,598 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I know a lot of you are tough on Grimes....but I watched Coach Grimes turn a good TE from my own high school team (freshman when I was a senior) into an NFL tackle at Virginia Tech back in the day. He may be old and yes it would be nice to have a younger, bigger OL coach but the man has a very impressive coaching resume. That kid turned man and former NFL talent is Jay Hagood from Easley, South Carolina. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to going 6-6 with Auburn and losing his HC in a year or so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many kids want to come play for Mickey. We need another Rodney Garner type on the OL. Good point...and maybe why Nick probably never allows himself to be photographed with any of his defensive linemen .. But the other Grimes we had a few years ago was big enough to kick tail...and seemed like he might have been too nice. Lots of bark in that little coach Grimes I guess.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Folks calling Ira Henry a "true OT" and saying Justin Osborne is a "swing player" make me laugh. They're the same height, and if anything, Osborne appears to have a longer wingspan. In general, 6'4" isn't ideal on the edge, but Henry was no different than Osborne in terms of projecting his natural position. In college, both can likely work on the outside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that Grimes has perhaps been a good coach in the past......but so have Lou Holtz and Bobby Bowden and I don't want either of those guys joining our coaching staff. I'm ready for Grimes to be thanked for his contributions and moved along, to be replaced by an energetic teacher of the position that can relate to and recruit the current generation of high school studs. Not sure if that guy exists or if we can get him but I wish we'd try..... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very clear, and the way I've always understood it. Most major schools have the same minimum, something the NCAA will accept. Now, if you're an ordinary Joe, you'll have to do much better to gain admission. If you're a music genius, high profile athlete or maybe a veteran with combat injuries, they can let you in if you meet their minimum standard. In other words, if you're for some reason "special" all you have to do is meet the minimum. If you're not special, you have to score well above the minimum to gain admission. This applies to every SEC school except Vandy. They still have lower standards for athletes and other special cases, but their lowest standard is still higher than any other conference school's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,649 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Auburn players offered but not committed anywhere yet in case we are trying to fill spots... though I don't know if these are committable offers so no one jump down my throat if I'm wrong FFS. Jonathan Sewell 3* RB Deshon Stoudemire 3* WR Jurial Caldwell NR WR 6'0" 190 lbs. from Robert E Lee High School in Jax FL Howard Allen Jr. 3* OT Dawand Jones 3* OT Jamond Gordon 3* SDE Christopher Russell 3* ILB Ah'Shawn Moore 3* OLB Brothers who we're waiting on now Justice Hill 3* ATH Gyasi Mattison 3* ATH Not confident we make a last second push on any of these though. Likely we'll let the scholarships roll over to next year right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the talent level but brings us back to the original point: recruiting is the lifeblood of any program and I don't have confidence that JB is the guy to bring in the talent that we need to compete at a high level.
