Because jucos aren't a slam dunk. There's a high miss rate with the higher rated jucos historically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we’re bringing in quality guys that can hopefully contribute immediately. The fact that we’re bringing in essentially a signing class number of OL all from JUCO should be a red flag 🚩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He better be taking 4 or so every class even if the guys aren't his top 4 wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Morris hire a guy with that much experience and a guy Gus likes we will find out how stubborn Gus is. If we get the exact same O next year then Gus has not learned anything and should be let go. I think Gus is a pretty good coach, but he needs to become an elite coach for Auburn to get to where we want Auburn to be. Gus has gotten better as a coach in the fact that he hired some top notch people to run his D and it has shown with how well the D has played. Now he has hired a top notch OC and QB coach will he utilize him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,576 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Due to recent events, landing Flax has become a rather huge deal! With Cohen proving to be a jerk, Busky's grade problems and one of the others tearing up a knee a group that was once a lot of OT prospects has dwindled in a hurry.

AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Often I see kids measurements and it says 6'5" or 6"6" then I see them in a picture with Gus who is tall but not that tall and they are close to same height. This kid towers above Gus so measurements are fairly accurate. I agree with Goweb11 he is a very big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Too big for a man but not quite big enough to be a horse. Flax is so large he can play guard, and tackle, at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
