Has he done anything in West Vance? Has he transfered out yet? Made a play or 2 in the LSU game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just get the impression he thinks he's a day 1 starter & thus isn't crazy about the juco OTs we have coming in. Isn't Alabama known for making players redshirt or play special teams as a true freshmen? If so, that seems pretty dumb that he wants to start day one and is flirting with another school that is known for redshirting while Auburn is not afraid to play freshmen.

To be honest Auburn doesn't play Freshman O-linemen unless they are super talented 5* type talent and even then not very often. The teams that play Freshmen O-Line when they are not the elite type out of HS are teams whose cupboard is very bare. Tenn. as an example whose O-line stared 2 Freshmen this year who had real growing pains at beginning of the year but are starting to improve.

AUTiger2012 84 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 He is 50-50 because Bama hasn't given him the go ahead yet. And what is really funny is that they may never. Personally I look forward to his years at Troy university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Keith N said on talk show this morning that if he had to make a list of players today that would be in this class then JC would NOT be on that list. He also said that he has no information from Bama and that the local radio guy probably new more about them than he did. But just the feeling he gets at the moment from sources in AU, this kid is gone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, these "I'm 50-50 committed" guys make me not care what they do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskanFAN 1,665 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Where would all the Fun be if someone in the SEC didn't have a laugh at AU's expense. He is saving it for Signing day and the "Dramatic" flip. (Although I really hope not) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Time to accept reality and move on here. This is just like Pickens and others in the recent past: “committed” but looking for any way to end up somewhere besides Auburn. Seems like cutting bait and spending our energy elsewhere would make more sense, just my uninformed opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still taking 1 more OL in the class which means the cutting bait of Cohen is immenent if it hasn't already happened. Unfortunately he's the only one that can go public on it by decommitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
