wcware 1,365 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Honestly if something doesn’t dramatically change will we even finish in the top 30 in recruiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcware 1,365 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 With everyone having another year of eligibility because of Covid how does that effect the 85 scholarship rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will sign 21-22 in the class & that will have us comfortably in the top 30, not that it's anything worth writing home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big thing is giving everyone a blanket free year this year hurts a good number of high school SRs. They will not have the opportunities they normally would get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep what we have & sign 21-22 as expected we will finish in the top 30 without flips. We are 21st right now in the composite with a score of 206.81. The low end threshold for 30th in a class the past 5 years has ranged from 207 to 218. We can easily pass those marks with just a few 3* commits. Either one of Hal Preseley or Trevin Wallace would put us over the 207 mark. Both would put us over the 218 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) I thought after Auburn's 48-11 beat down to LSU, we would have picked up 1 or 2 new commits. Edited November 5, 2020 by auburn4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I like the WR pick up and the fact that he is from TX. That is a positive. Something we have not had in a long time in recruiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that's a good thing or if it indicates that we are being run out of Alabama and Georgia and are thus forced to look elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something we have not had in a long time in recruiting. Tells me that kids really want to play for Chad and that he should be able to make good things happen closer to home once he's a little more established on the circuit. Doesn't matter where the talent comes from at all, though, as long as we get it. bama's 9 draft picks last year came from Hawaii, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, DC, and Alabama, in order of when they were picked. Just gotta start getting some good OLs. Had higher hopes for this cycle. Edited November 12, 2020 by McLoofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things being considered given past work on OL recruiting & knowing we will land 1 to 2 transfer OL to add to this class, this OL class is an improvement & about where we should have expected at best even though it's obviously not where we need it to be.

Yeah, you're right, but I was jacked up about getting one of the big 3 tackle prospects to fill it out more solidly. It's really too bad about Orr. He would have put us pretty close to where I wanted to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
