Apparently he told some Texas commits last night that it was going to be the Longhorns per Keith. It's not unheard of for kids to tell other kids what they want to hear. With his parents behind his decision, I'm no more worried about this guy flipping then I am about any of the others. Nothing's final until the fax comes in, but I'd rather be on this side of it than Texas's side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,039 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 The allure of playing in the SEC won the day over playing in the No D 12, I mean Big 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say he didn't have to tell them anything but we don't know if they were hounding him for an answer. That's possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crime Dog had another big timer lined up before he left for Ole Miss. Devin Hunter was a silent to AU before that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbird 60,291 Posted August 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2019 We haven't had a game changing safety since B. Robinson in '93-94 Roberts and Ruffin, although 4*, weren't typical safeties and their careers reflected it. I'm not trying to down them. I'm just thrilled that with Smoke, Sherwood, and now Thompson we are now recruiting players that are typical safety size, have grown up playing safety, and have the athletic qualities needed for that position. 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,466 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Tucker Fredrickson was one helluva safety. Why the stupid NFL guys made him into an all-pro running back I'll never know. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird 60,291 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Impressively, we have two recruits in two days from Texas, both in the secondary. Thrilled to be making some inroads. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR 2,414 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Is this the best defensive recruiting staff in AU history? I know it's somewhat subjective, but they've gotta be in the conversation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably when you consider star ratings and rankings but it's hard to beat Tuberville defenses when it came to effectiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say in the past 20 years and you're in the ballpark, assuming the bulk of our current commits sign with AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,039 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I was hoping to be at or over 20 commits by December. We may get there around the time the season starts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new signing day, we really need to be. That gives us a leg up on next years class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
