I can see OL, QBs, etc, but rooting for your future competition? funny... Because if they’re both good they’ll both play. RB Workhorse days are over, you need multiple capable guys 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Man I wish we’d land this guy because:a)he’s very talented and could contribute immediately b)we desperately need something positive to happen recruiting-wise, particularly on the offensive side of the ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been thinking QB but Alston + Citizen should give OLs plenty to think about. Oh, one more response to the RB tandem thing: bama, uga, Oklahoma, UNC and Penn State all have RB tandems committed that, collectively, are ranked higher than Alston+Citizen would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,127 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 He would be a great addition to this class. We would have 4 every down type RB's so we could rotate and keep all fresh which is better for the RB who wants to look good in the 4th quarter where games are won and lost and better for NFL draft as are not worn down by the time they get to NFL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 737 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not surprising. CBH desperately needs to nail down a signature recruit on the offensive side. A low end 3* OL won't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,064 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Saw a beat writer think that it was looking like they were losing Citizen but that was this morning or maybe last night. Nope, don't remember where I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has been encouraging people to chill out, I can't really dispute any of this post.

au302 2,669 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 What did I miss? He committed to them? Wouldn't surprise me, but haven't seen any articles or such. Only thing I can find is about him visiting them this weekend, just like he made several posts about visiting us last weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,150 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 My sweet wife and daughters love cats. The cats slink around the house like some deadly being is constantly stalking them and take off running at the slightest movement. Tigers walk around head held high, growling and asking somebody to come try them. Our board, maybe with some justification, is becoming catlike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I haven't been as optimistic about this guy as others have been. I see him going to LSU. They don't have a clear cut #1 RB right now. I know they picked up Noah Cain from Penn St but if you look at Cain's stats he wasn't the leading rusher there. He split carries with Keyvone Lee, who ended being the leading rusher for Penn St. Citizen could go to LSU and have a good chance at getting immediate playing time. He's got a better chance at being the #1 RB there in 2022 or at the least splitting carries with Cain or John Emery Jr, who also hasn't been a #1 RB. At Auburn Tank is the clear #1 RB right now. Citizen would be competing with Jarquez Hunter for the #2 spot and fighting for playing time. It would be 2023 at best before Citizen could have a crack at the #1 RB spot here to get serious playing time, assuming Tank declares for the 2023 NFL draft.
