It actually is sad when you think about how much money might've been left on the table for guys that really could've used it.

Onward.

Or how much Kodi made going along with it.

@BeakerNew staff sees him as an interior OL (thus the thread title change) as do most schools & we have a good number of interior OL higher on our board.

Anything to him still being injured?  Shoulder or something?

@The PlainsmanHe is still taking classes at WVU & likely working out there also. Plus one of the reasons he said he wanted to commit relatively quickly is to get our playbook now & start learning it.

I’m aware.  I was just pointing out that he is coming to AU to be a one year starter,  but his time here will be very limited.

@The Plainsman usually not a necessary step for grad transfers like it is for highschoolers and undergrads. They typically pick up things quickly.

For sure,  I was thinking more about just bonding with the team off the field type thing.  It is interesting though that he will not go through spring practice at WV either,  so that is total down time which is not great.  

This get is incredible.  I wish he was going to be here with his teammates for Spring Practice however.

Hoping for the AU bump.

Dude is going to earn his bump imo.  I think he is vastly underrated even with his recent 3 stars level set.

@tinman Not sure but why would they. If the Vols let the NLI run out it only costs Brooks 2 months in going to another school. It's probably a moot point anyway as it's still expected to be resolved in the next 2 to 4 weeks.

TN getting good at this dodgeball game.

@The Plainsman Probably depends on what the school decides. Athletes & fans can't put videos on hudl independently. Their school has to have a hudl account & the player has to be on a roster submitted to Hudl before Athletes can post videos. Here are the high school pricing tiers...

Man,  why wouldn’t we just start something like it, and just charge families $50.   Heck,  why can’t the kids just dump it all on YouTube (which I suppose the do too)   

Just bumping to try and get the mojo going for us here.   Lame of TN to just drag it but I suppose they want to announce a DC first and see if they can change DB’s mind?

How much does it cost for a HS players family to have a highlight vid posted on hudl?

Why did he leave NW?

He’s a graduate.  So taking his talents to the SEC.

Anybody want to throw out a guess or two on who Harsin's first commitment will be?

I will go with Dylan Brooks.

If KN is breaking that news then that is great for AU imo.   Who for TN would have to approve the release?  Would that be Steele?   

Northwestern has a really nice looking FOF.   They went pretty big.  
 

I do not think it needs to be way out from the campus mold, except on the corners that face the roads.  It should not look like a back of he building even if it is.  

Coming to AU from Wire Road you come over the “hill” and you see JHS... it used to really stir the juices.   Now imagine rolling down Wire Rd to Samford Ave and you get to the red light.   You sitting at that intersection.   How awesome should that corner look with an eye popping curb appeal of a FOF.  
 

add some tinted glass or something,  an Auburn Orange tint or something.   
 

Just my opinion.  

What does the rendering look like from Wire Road and Samford Ave.?  
 

that is a huge opportunity to make a statement.  More Glass and Glitz on a major intersection.   
 

Even the corner of Samford and Biggio needs to wow.  First impressions are critical.   This needs to wow on the outside as much on the inside.   

I worry his arms are not long enough.

FWIW Keith says AU is recruiting Harvey much harder than FSU.

FWIW Keith says Harvey says that!  

just messing with ya. 

Late to the topic but I like this guy.  Great size,  good experience and with Covid acting the way it still does,  we need backups.  Looks like just another multiple type weapon to me.

Yep, we actually called his decommitment, amazing what getting a quarterback can do for a class. 

Bringing the goods.  Keep em’ coming. 

I wonder how much Jeff Blake was involved in connecting dots.   Could be a major cog for us now in a new pipeline.

Wish Calvin Ashley did.

Good point.   I guess I was thinking a little further back,  names are escaping me,  Avery Young was one,  maybe a guy named Patrick Miller (he left early but showed promise), Wayne  Gandy was from FL too correct?

Seems like FL OL recruiting, when we get them, they work out.
