JMassie11 1,610 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The days of kids sitting and waiting 2-3 years to play are done. Just wait until after spring ball and you will have another round of high profile transfers. There will be another rule change on it within 3 years bc it’s borderline out of control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless other schools have later enrollment dates, he either is deciding tonight or by a later date if there is a later drop/add date, or now plans to just show up in the fall where he wants to transfer to. He’s not going to wait and just show up in the fall because he wants his best chance to be a starter. No program is going to let him start if he just “shows up” on their campus that late.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Had a post on the lack of value on relying on this guy’s prediction a week ago man. You change your prediction 24-48 hours before the commitment occurs, hey, you still got the prediction right!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be mitigation, but no stud recruit should be spending almost all of their college years with one program just to ride the bench. Esp when most of these recruits are being promised fairy tales and being lied to themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke this whole thing was. People simply making outlandish predictions to gain followers. We didn’t even get a visit. And as of right now, we don’t even have any concrete proof that CW showed an ounce of interest in Auburn. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 It’s all these “insiders” and “reporters” who push these rumors without any basis behind them getting everyone worked up. Then when the person doesn’t come it’s fans who look foolish. Lolol. I’m sure Auburn showed interest in him and he showed interest in Auburn just like any other recruit we are after, whether he was coming here or not. It’s the outside media that makes these things muddy and makes Auburn look dumb or scorned. Caleb Williams would have been amazing. I’m sure the coaches put the full court press on him too. I am also sure they have a plan b and a plan c. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit it to after freshman year, after junior year or anytime after a HC change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildlife alumni 304 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Thread sum up. Nobody has a clue. The optimist think we have a chance. We are going to win some of these recruiting battles and get better. The pessimist think we will never have a good QB again. Program is pretty much doomed to be Vandy at some point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky had one of the best OLs in the conference and got a summer transfer Left Tackle from LSU who will be a 2nd day draft pick. The idea that there weren't quality OL is silly. https://247sports.com/Season/2021-Football/TransferPortalPositionRanking/?positionkey=16 It was when CBH arrived. That's what has been stated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know he's been visiting UCLA or simply sight-seeing. No one really knows. And of course picking the school his former-HC moved to isn't exactly a bold prediction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I’d call a picture of him in the USC uniform fairly concrete. Also, it was being pretty widely reported that he was visiting USC. All of our info was coming from anonymous sources, twitter insiders, and some guy on Reddit. Don’t mistake my disdain for the sports insider media as anger with Harsin. I’m sure Harsin wanted the kid just like everyone else in the country except for Alabama. But for this to have gone on this far and all of these people to insure that the Auburn rumors were legit only to simply say “oh well, it didn’t pan out” is unethical reporting. And I would hope that some of the media closer to Auburn would at least feel a little foolish and learn something from this and the coaching search. Auburn is in a rough spot right now football wise and we fans are grabbing for any kind of home run news that would make us feel like things were about to pick up. To get our hopes up and the guy never even makes a visit is awfully gut wrenching. Edited January 13, 2022 by AuCivilEng1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,816 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Honestly I wanted CW to at least come on campus to let me know the staff has the ability to sell big time players, with options, on Auburn. If we can just get a visit it'd be something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe4christ 940 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I guess, one way or another, this will all be over by this time next week. That is if he plans on being at his school of choice to go through the spring. Hoping for the best but preparing myself either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
