NoALtiger 1,992 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Go with what ya know, I’ve got no problem with that. Ultimately Harsin will be held accountable for his success or failure. Since that’s the case, I’d absolutely go with what I’m comfortable with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The amount of detail this guy brings in this role has been sorely missing for us. I can think of two 5 star recruits, Rashan Gary and Nakobe Dean who left AU recruiting visits less than impressed with the academic presentation compared to the schools they chose. (Michigan and UGA) We need someone on top of those types of recruiting functions. War Eagle 🦅 Edited January 17 by Gowebb11 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GwillMac6 16,251 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I think it is the perfect mix of bringing in the Boise guys he trusts the most and sees the most value in to warrant being a part of a top tier SEC Program but also not going to far down that rabbit hole and having a lot of non boise guys on staff. Especially with the on field roles. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aubiefifty 5,904 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 i think this could be great for us. did Boom not laugh about how we did recruiting and all it entails? maybe he is doing this so coaches can coach more and recruit less and still have great results? i am just making a guess here but he has a right hand man he just hired to deflect from the powers to keep interfering too much so coaches are not wasting time dancing around boosters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You mean we'll actually have someone who can keep count of the number of games a player plays in so we do not accidentally burn a redshirt season. 🤯 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsande07 33 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm very happy with the new organizational approach to recruiting, with an off-field support structure providing the additional resources to help each coach perform well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AuburnNTexas 3,557 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Coming from Boise they had to do more with less. They were super organized and found a way to be off the beaten track in the middle of nowhere to recruit extremly well for their conference and beat out the big West Coast schools for some key players. That type of organization will go a long way here where they will have more resources and be close to the recruiting hot beds in this region while still finding some key players out of this region. Harsin said early on he wanted a recruiting organization not just coaches recruiting. That is what bama does it is one of the reasons that they get so many 4* and 5* plus when they do pick up a 3* they have scouted that player and know he has the potential to be a lot better than his rating. This is the type of guy to get us where we need to be in recruiting. It will take some time. Edited January 18 by AuburnNTexas 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's been a general assumption that bama is more of a "business" and Auburn is more of a "family", and that recruits choose one or the other. I see no reason why we shouldn't be the "family business" nor why recruits can't have both here. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
