If we get Tank, likely just one. He wants to be in a 1 RB class.

That would rule out USCe

He had surgery at practice? That seems unsanitary.

Well, I did hear that he was knocked out by a LBer, they cleared the bench and the QB was threading the needle.

Elite 11?   should i mention more? 

FMPOV,  popularity being defined as the favor of a particular group of people, in this case the judges.   The winner is the most popular amongst the judges (whoever they might be) - like the Heisman, Academy Awards, Coach of the Year, MVP etc - Typically when there are judges involved,  they are subjectively selecting a winner.    As opposed to being an objective measure,  such as the fastest person in the 100 M at a track meet,  which would not be a popularity award.  

I don't know how Elite 11 is named, it may be objective or subjective.

Its a popularity contest.     I dont think Kiehl Frazier is anywhere comparable to Bo Nix 

What award isn’t a popularity contest?  It states on the site. ‘Poll results will not be a factor in final selection.’   

This is for high school achievement, not who has the best college football potential.

 Be happy for the kids.

Congratulations Bo!! It is quite an achievement to be singled out as a candidate over the thousands of guys that play high school football!

A high school qb playing for Gus? That is a disaster.

I agree. It would be better if we could get someone that has graduated from high school.

Will be shocked if Shaun does not quickly become an outstanding kickoff return man, a role I see as being his first for us. Good speed & zero fear.

Not sure there will be many KO returns with the new rule in place.

How much of his success is due to having a very good QB and not so much coaching? just asking.....

You can ask that question of just about any coach!  Including the one across the state.

Keith on Pritchett...

All I can tell you is I was told today they would take Pritchett

  It seems hard to believe he wouldn't jump at the chance if that is the case, given his other options.

Correct. This next year will essentially serve as his redshirt year.

With the new rule, he can play in 4 games and retain red shirt.   I would hope they would let him learn the system and then get him in some meaningful games this year if he shows out in practice.

Can anyone say Will Hasting. Receivers with that skill set appear to be something that is important in CCL’s playbook.  JJ will definitely keep one of the safeties 10 yards off the line of scrimmage and out of the run support mode. 

So he is black lightening?

Welcome to Auburn.  Now get down to Auburn for Big Cat and help get some big guys to line up next to you!

Who are you and where did you come from?

And, nice name. 

So you are saying you don’t know Who’s your Daddy?

UMass played UT last year and were winning until their QB got hurt in the 2nd half.  So he has played against SEC talent already.

Let's say he can excel at both.  He would make a lot more money in football than track, but also risk more life-long injuries from football. Given that he is willing to play football, I would say he needs to concentrate on improving his football skills.  Running track may get the attention of scouts that he may not receive if he didn't, so he should probably keep competing in track as well.

Exactly. So true. That is the beauty about Georgia hiring Kirby. He knows how it is done and he knows where the bodies are buried in T town so there is nothing saban can do about it.

In this new era of bitcoin, it will be impossible to catch anyone.  Unfortunately for Ol Miss, they 'missed' this trend by a few years.

War Eagle!  Here’s hoping our coaches and all the recruiting services know more than the fans, just this one time!

Is there a chance that he will be the number one quarterback in the country this year?

He is number one in my book, if that matters to you!

The second coming of BO!

Justyn time for all the Stud wide receivers to get (or stay) on board and for all the offensive lineman that want to protect the future Auburn superstar to join the family! 

WDE!

schwartz. but like 90% sure he was talking about mullen and florida.

Hopefully, he wasn't referring to AU and Ross.

Four things that give Auburn a shot: The depth chart at tackle, his relationship with position coach/area recruiter Rodney Garner, his friendship with Tigers linebacker and former teammate Tadarian Moultry and his friendship with Auburn running back commit Asa Martin.

That said, it's a battle.

 

Does playing close enough for family and friends to go to his games matter to him?

30 runs and 5 passes or 85.1% run.

Three of the runs were called pass-plays so it was closer to 77.1% run.

Is it possible that a lot of these plays were RPO plays that JS chose the run because that is what he was reading from the defense?

I hope we get Bo and JF but when you are talking about great QB's it is often the intangibles that set them apart.  Look at some of the great pro QB's Bart Starr was a field general a solid athlete and a solid arm but wasn't going to set the world on fire with his pure talent, Joe Montana was Bart Starr with a better arm and a little better athlete than Starr but there have been numerous QB's that if you only measured skill set were better then Montana but few who were better on game day. Peyton Manning all the tools size, arm,  etc. but what set him apart was the way he studied the game, he may have been the best prepared QB of all time. Tom Brady none of the experts would have predicted his level of success coming out of HS and college. Joe Kapp  a big boy and a competitor but as a pure QB weak arm made some horrible throws yet he willed his team to win.

So for all the people predicting BO and JF will both be the next great College QB I hope you are right but till I see them play in a few games I withhold putting them on a pedestal until they have proven it on the field.The measurables are there but there is so much more to being a QB.

If you wait until they have proven it on the field, it wouldn't be much of a prediction, would it?

I think Bo Nix has a good chance to be the best QB ever to play for Auburn. He may not have the size of CN, JS, JF or other guys.  However, the individual tutoring he is getting from his dad on reading defenses, checking down,  being able to audible, and film study habits will set him apart, especially if we are able to hold on to CCL.

My huge uga fan coworker simply said, "we weren't going after him."

:rolls eyes: 

so, I guess they are playing the Bama card where they didn't want him in the first place. 

 

All fans make excuses for why their team didn't get a player that committed to a rival...

1. We didn't want him

2. We had someone higher on our board

3. Didn't have a "committable" offer

4. There were some personal issues our coaches didn't want to deal with

5. We have a silent commit from someone better

and my favorite response is

6. He asked our coaches to top XXX's cash offer and we told him we don't bend the rules at Auburn!
