Hope is not a good recruiting strategy We are at the big boy table for basketball now! We are right in the thick of it for a lot of blue chip recruits. Done are the days of having to take guys like Robert Chubb! lol. With every passing year we keep increasing the level of talent of this team and program!!! IT IS EXCITING!!!!! And to piggyback on what loofy said. @McLoofus Who the heck has grown up a AU bball fan that is a recruit these days?!?! If we went that strategy our class would be filled with Tommy Murr and not much else!!! haha. WAR DAMN!!! ENJOY THE RIDE!!! IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE EXCITING!!! WOOOOO!!!!

Seems we are finishing second or third for lots of the big names which while a great improvement on where we used to be, won't do us a heck of a lot of good next season when we lose pretty much all our production. In football there seems to always be tons of names out there as potential recruits while in bball there are much fewer names floating out there. So makes the misses seem like a bigger then when i'm sure they are not. I'm also still trying to get on board with having multiple 1 and done guys on the team. I honestly like the idea of 1-2 each year and fill the rest with the Cambridge, Flanigans and Jaylin's of the world. Guys who will develop for 3-4 years......fingers crossed we find the size we'll require to be successful next season. Okoro will be our first one and done. Just remember he was not supposed to be one and done. This staff and Okoro obviously himself has done a great job of bringing him along where he is in a great position of being a top 10 pick. Bruce does it PERFECTLY in recruiting. DO your like your coffee half n half?! Because Bruce likes his crutin classes to be half n half! He has got the 4 year guys in the fold who will be with the program for the long haul in Justin Powell and Chris Moore. Coop is most likely 2 and done like Chuma. Yes we are going after one and dones for the most part to fill out the rest of this class but that is just how it has shaken out. It is a perfect mix and recipe!! WOOOO!!! WAR DAMN BAY BAAAAAAAAY!!!!

That is like I was like ashton kutcher in dude wheres my car and am like WUUUUUUUUHHHHHH???????!!!!!!!! lmao........... We were not talking about JG!!! lol. Btw now that you mentioned him. It seems the international talk has died down and it is back to being Memphis or AU with Corey Evans the AU hater (not really but damn he never thinks we get anyone lol) doubling down on that JG is going to Memphis. I SWEAR the only time the overseas talk got really heated up was when the crystal balls started flowing in to AU. LIKE REALLY?!?! GMAFB!!!!!

LFG CLOSE THIS CLASS STRONG!!! I really do think the Memphis staff got in their feelings once they felt AU grabbed some serious momentum and if they cannot convince him to come to Memphis rather he go play overseas than AU. I think that is where all of that noise came from is leaked by the memphis people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kinda makes sense, I suppose. I mean, he didn't have to work his way up in coaching at all before being given the head job. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problems they're having, but I would think it could make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a few things bother me about how this is playing out. Just think back to a certain DE from Auburn High School and how his recruitment played out. It may be how a few articles were written that makes me have concern, and there is nothing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
