Tigerpro2a

just giving everyone an update. they manually dilated her with the Foley tube to 4 cm and broke her water this morning. it's been a slow go since as it's been 8 hours and we are now only at five and a half centimeters but we making progress

awesome!

Alright AUFamily.... it's been a long hard 9 months but the time has finally come.... My family is about to grow by one as my firstborn son will be here sometime tomorrow night or Monday morning. she was due Friday and if she is not delivered by 5:00 p.m. Tomorrow that are going to induce her... Everyone here has been so helpful and supportive through this process and my wife and I are super grateful. Please keep my beautiful wife and soon to be born son and your thoughts and prayers and hope that she has a seamless delivery to a healthy baby boy. I will have pics ready to roll when he gets here.... war baby and war damn eagle!!!

Some things about DJD's defensive scheme Switches up 3 and 4 man fronts. Usually with 3 down he will walk up an OLB. Loves versatility in his OLB and move them all over Uses his nickles to blitz quite a bit much like RR. Seems to prefer man more than zone as a whole, but will mix up coverages pretty well and run some good combos edit- not sure what he will do here as a lot likely depends on personnel

Logic dictates that Chf wanted to interview him for sure. There is no evidence to say we got turned down or anything like that. from the jump people in the know have said kiffin and Durkin were the two leading candidates... why not do due diligence and wait to make sure your future DCs vision matches what you want.

I'll add... most the people (especially in Twitter and Social media spaces) griping about his background have no clue what actually happened.

i fully agree. Durkin is a very good hire imo. There is a reason Saban wanted him before he retired.

I was thinking this in a conversation with an Alabama fan last night. why go where there's already potentially one of the best receiver classes of the year when you can go and be the stood of the class by miles?.... as for Malcolm Simmons, I agree, I don't think we should be sleeping on any of these guys

possibly....i didn't say he would make us forget year 1 or even year 2 or 3... but by the time it's said and find I think he could. I hope You're riding. all three of them are gone after 3 years

a-Coleman ... only because Perry isn't an EE b-Bryce Cain.... he is going to make us forget all about the RW saga. kid is a legit stud in the slot and I think he will have 4 years of production vs cam and Perry having 3 and likely hitting the league

If he wasn't a fit culture wise or there was the stank of trouble in the air between coaches or players then probably best he is gone. I hated the 4th and 31, but I will not judge his tenure here based on that one play. He coached above his roster talent most of the year and without him we likely have at least 2 more losses. I think we need to get it right this time though...and I believe we will. WDE

Facts...... Can't wait for the next 2-3 years.... LB- Riddick, Phillips, Barbers and Winters at the LB 2 deep. Edge- Waller and Little Faulk-er hehe

Nice touch on the addition of the graphic there, Big Red!!!!

DJ is a more athletic Deshaun Davis IMO. He is very physical. Built for that MLB spot. A head hunter. Has great eyes. HE is faster than DD but he is very similar IMO. Also, an underrated, locker room kid that you want on your team. He will be a starter for us one day.

IIRC (lots of happenings the past week so I could be way off lol) there was some chatter about him wanting to play S but we wanted him as a CB? Or Vice Versa....Just get him here! Work out the deets later. Too good a talent to let that get in the way IMO

This fixing to be a big time AU pipeline. I can't remember the last commit we had from Saraland before this year? Cordell Flott who ended up at LSU maybe? IIRC they haven't been around that long? Maybe 10-12 years? They seem to be a perennial PH now some might say. I can dig the pipeline for sure Guys and Gals....brace yourselves! AU Football is about to get real interesting. Coach Freeze is building a monster. The 24 class is loaded at WR and LB and a good S class. The 25 class is going to be a beast on the DL and OL. I knew if we hired HCBHF this is what he would do...but he has even exceeded my expectations. We must be patient. He is doing this the right way. I think this year we will see major improvement, but still probably an 8 win team...but 25 we will be a threat and 26 will be our year. Coach Freeze knows he has to make noise in 25 and 26 and his plan is clear as day. WDE what a time to be an AU fan! Edit- Just look at First team All State for 7A and 6A. Lot of Auburn signees and commits!!! Some other names on the list were Towns McGaugh sp? , Malcom Simmons, D. Riddick, Kaleb Harris.

Now that the ink has dried (barring a few future portal additions and one RW :)) with what we have on roster now....curious to know everyone's thoughts on the class. With that said...here are the questions I have for you all and how I feel about them. 1. - How many of this class find their way into the 2 deep in year 1 (as it sits now...things are fluid w portal of course) and how many are starters year one? I think Cam Coleman starts day 1. I would say Perry as well but not being EE will likely hold him back a LITTLE. I say he starts by mid season at the latest. As far as two deep....I think 10 of these guys are in the 2 deep by game 4. 2. Who is your prize of the class on both sides- For me...it's Cam Coleman on Offense, and Riddick on defense. Many people may pick Perry over Cam, but IDK I am a firm believe in CC. I think both will shine. I will say this....I feel sorry for opposing DCs trying to plan on how to defend The White Walkers (tm) in 2-3 years. There is no right answer. Can't double them all! 3. Most underrated recruit on both sides of the ball- Bryce Cain and DJ Barber. 4. Recruit who we are all shocked in 3-4 years that their career at AU went the way it did? Could be a good thing or bad thing. That is all....dispute, debate...whatever. I am just excited about this class and wanted to chat some. BTW- Best AU class in modern Crootin service era in terms of average rating per player. BEST AU CLASS EVER. Let that sink in...with one year to build it....I can't wait for the 25 and 26 classes. HCBHF doing big thangz yall. Mods if this should be in the recruiting session by all means.

Just came here to say......This is the best class AU has had in the modern recruiting era. 247 would only allow me to view team results back to the 2010 class....but this one sits atop in the per average player rating and it isn't even close. There were a couple of Gus classes that we just over 91. but still over half a point away from this one.

LB room is/will be one of the deepest rooms on the roster next season. PS. Don't sleep on DJ Barber. This guy will be a star at AU when said and done. Most underrated player in the class on D with maybe the exception of Malik Blockton ( Bryce Cain on O)

he is very fast and has a great hands and ain't scared of nothing..... Alabama's most wanted

Cam will start day 1. I would say Perry would too, but since he's not going to be here till summer I think he'll take him a little bit more time to acclimate possibly. but Cam is day one starter in my opinion and buy game five both of them will be

You're right, they are both speedsters, but I don't know that there's a more purebred speed and any player in the class over Cain.

I don't know that there's a better receiver class or linebacker class in the country. I know Hugh said that but I really believe it as well... yeah we got the two big guys Perry and Cam but Bryce and Malcolm are two of the the most slept on guys in the class I think just because of Perry and Cam

I agree. Anything more are cherries on top....
