AUBourne

I am curious to know why he has not signed. Seems like a question some Auburn beat reporter with a pulse would have answered by now.

I'm full pessimist but hoping for the best. We have seen this in football many times. A kid we expect to get but doesn't commit and then "shocks the world" by going with a "business" decision. As a child of the 80's I have zero faith in the NCAA being fair and treating AU equal to the protected programs that will get quick and merciful reviews. The impact on recruiting will undermine the tourney success. The NCAA is going to string along an investigation at AU and then bend us over. Proof and intent be damned. I fully expect AU to finish behind UK, UT, UF, LSU, UGA and maybe UAT in class rankings. If we do better then great and that will just demonstrate how amazing our coaches are. The good news is we know Bruce can take lesser talent and win big. The bad news is AU did so well last year that Bama is going to acquire a top recruiting class. So yeah I know I'm being a pessimist but I'm also a product of the experiences of the past.

Back in my day (the 80s) most high school coaches put their best athlete at QB. You want your best player touching the ball as many times a possible. That is why lots of QBs are recruited to play other positions at the SEC level. It does not really benefit the team to place your star at WR and then run the ball 25 times a game.
