UCF has their first game September 9th. 

I mean google isn’t that hard to use. This is incorrect. 
 

September 1: 56-10 win over South Carolina State.

The receivers from the mid 90's teams deserve some mention. Bailey, Baker, Bailey, Gosha, Goodson, et. Al 

 

Tim Carter too

 

I still have nightmares over Karstin Bailey dropping passes

I would love to see Stidham with this offense and especially the coaching.

I would like to see him paired with Darvin Adams or while he is a TE, I would love to see CJ Uzomah in this offense.

Almost identical my man

What all time Auburn QB and WR would you choose for this Offense

Mine I gotta go with 04 Jason Campbell or 13 Nick Marshall they would be fun to watch in this offense

WR would be Sammie Coates or Devin Aromashodu

 

For me the answer at QB is simple. Jarrett Stidham probably had the best “NFL arm” that I’ve seen at Auburn my entire life and that includes Campbell. Had Stidham played in this offense the way he is viewed by Auburn fans would be VERY  different. 
 

WR… that is a little harder… it would be the sole 1,000 yard WR we have had in my lifetime (Ronny Daniels,) the next closest we have gotten to 1,000 yards (Darvin Adam’s,) or who probably would of been a 1,000 yard WR had he not been a knucklehead (Duke Williams.)

and I would of course be just wrong not at least name dropping my favorite Auburn WR of all time… Courtney Taylor.

I’m trying to think back when caddy was hired, had he not played for us, what would the reaction have been? Caddy had 3 one year stints before he came here: GA at West Georgia, RB coach at IMG, RB coach for Birmingham Iron.

To be fair he coached the Iron for days. Maybe weeks. Certainly no where near a year. Edit* 3 months. Just looked it up. Hired by the iron in October 2018. Hired by Auburn January 2019.

 

And just because he played for us doesnt mean everyone was behind the hire or him being retained.

This place is just as bad as rivals now

Then you must not have been there lately

Wow this is getting to Ole Miss levels with UT now. 

Fulmer doesn't seem to care about possible repercussions... 

Let them pull this with one of Bamas commits. Something tells me the REC would relish the possibility to pay Fat Phil back.

Mark your calender folks. Its just a matter of time... Either the REC will put Tennessee back to the stone ages or the NCAA is just gonna stop policing these types of things because Tennessee is going full Will Wade in football recruiting.

I'm not being snide: can someone explain why we should? Why it matters? Why it hurts (or helps) recruiting?

I am not being a jerk, I really don't understand why the uniform contract matters at all to anyone. What am I missing?

How many high school aged kids do you see wear Nike or Air Jordans? How many do you see wear UA shoes?

Then go to a basketball game or court...look at their shoes. 8 out of 10 will be wearing Nike shoes. 

The majority of those kids who have played basketball for 18 years and have ALWAYS worn Nike or Jordan shoes.

When they get to Auburn they can no longer wear Nike or Jordans because to play basketball at Auburn they HAVE to wear UA shoes. 

Yes Bruce has us recruiting at a level higher than any in program history

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to pretend like it wouldnt help is naive. To pretend that the shoes they play basketball in does not matter is flat out WRONG. 

 

Brands matter to these kids...much more than they did when i went to school in the 90s... Suggesting otherwise just says you dont know much about todays youth.

O.K...

Impact Rating: 6.9 out of 10

Original artical says 4.6 out of 10.

https://n.rivals.com/news/transfer-tracker-akron-ol-brandon-council-to-graduate-transfer

So that drops him from: (6.9-9.0)

A high impact player who won’t change a program but will certainly be a very good contributor and starter. 

To: (4.1 to 6.0)

A solid impact can be expected in the right scenario and has the potential to battle for a starting job.

Which is closer to: (1.1-4.0)

Not a big impact expected, likely a non-starter and down the bench depth player

I mean I get it that everyone thinks that anyone who comes to Auburn is the bees-knees. Especially on this site...

But we are talking about a guy who was projected as preseason fourth-team All-MAC by Athlon Sports...

 

Maybe he can hold his own and will surprise me like Driscoll but I wont hold my breath. Im not a sunshine pumper like a some of you on here. 

But nothing would make me happier than to be wrong about this young man. 

Mollys Game is awesome 21 is a movie about cards. Rounders is another good card movie.

Now I have seen him listed on other websites as 6'0. There isnt a lot of difference between 6'0 and 6'2 but that 2 inches can absolutely be the difference between a 4th and 5th star. 

If this young man is actually 6'0 and not 6'2 I doubt he would get that 5th star. Not that it matters a hill of beans... 

Scouts looking at him or not, his offer sheet, if correct, sure seems enough to warrant a 4* rating. 

If those offers are correct, this young man may end up being our first 5* DB that we have ever signed.

That would be something but his offer sheet with his size... I just dont see how he doesnt end up being a very high 4* or even a 5*. 

If I'm not mistaken Shon Coleman was a 3* when he committed and ended up as a 5*...

Just one person 😂

And that one person didnt say he "lost it" he said that he had "slowed down" or something similar. He has corrected you on this...

But you already knew that... 

That's some "18" stuff right there...

Ok... 

So this guy is listed as a SDE but I saw earlier E say that he is more of a pass rusher than the strong side DE that Davidson was... Would that not make him a buck in our system? Also arent "Bucks" usually WDE? 

So he plays strong side DE in JUCO but will he be a buck or a SDE for us? 

I'm just confused as to how we are actually looking at using this young man? E says he is a pass rusher and specifically stated he wasnt a replacement for Davidson but he plays Davidsons position? 

 

Color me confused

Noah Igbinoghene was signed as a WR and played there as a freshman before moving to CB

And for every Noah or Prince, there are 2 Devan Barretts or Tristin Davis'.

 

It isnt something we should plan on having success with. Noah starting immediately after making that move from WR was one of the most surprising things of the Malzahn era. That isnt something that normally works out period, much less as advantageous as Iggys move.

Have you seen some comment from Gus indicating that Chad will be calling plays?

I haven't but at the same time I think its foolish to believe that Chad Morris, a former head coach, came to Auburn to be Kenny Dillingham. 

Morris and Gus are long time close friends. They vacation together. Morris came here to rehab his career. That doesnt happen by holding a clipboard or being a glorified grad assistant like the position Dilly Dilly held at Auburn...

 I definitely agree on the cautiously optimistic part because that is the proper mindset for most big-time recruits. With that said there’s a big difference between the Texas situation with Chris Thompson & our situation here. Down the stretch Texas was losing confidence where as down the stretch here we are gaining in confidence. It’s even to the point where the reporters for the teams of the other finalists have all most all of them flipped  their pics to Auburn.

Man alive E... 

That makes me happier than an opossum eating persimmons. Smiling ear to ear baby! 

Caddy coaching a Tank. I freaking love that thought.

 

Regardless of how this turns out you have to be impressed with the work Caddy is putting in on the trail.

Man I hope we land him. I know we are trending, but Texas was trending with Chris Thompson. We see how that turned out.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

but seriously! Dilly is our best OL recruiter since Jeff Grimes. Otherwise known as the GRIMES THAT CAN RECRUIT! lol. WOOOO WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!!! AND WAR DAMN DILLY!!!! We would be soooooooooooooo screwed with OL crutin without him. SO so so so very glad to have him. 

 

As much as didnt and still dont like hiring someone 2 years removed from being a GA as our OC, Dilly Dilly has done exceptionally well as far as recruiting goes. How his energy translates on the field remains to be seen, but i dont know of anyone else who could given us such a boost in recruiting

Well done. Maybe 2020 wont be such a disaster on the OL after all.
