Mattco 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Let's be honest, we backed off after he chose Bama over us, not before. I am shocked to see that he is an ESPN 150 though, he really wasn't even starting for Auburn High and wasn't going to this year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dperdeye 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Wasn't he rated as a 4 star? And he never started as a 1st line player in high school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 32,149 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I do not know about other games but I know he started the playoff game against Prattville last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubook56 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I beleive he did start at Auburn High and this was his third high school. He did have potential was a player who could have evolved with a little stability. Speaking of stability, Raymond Cotton is the third string QB at South Alabama, the other undefeated Alabama university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walker77 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I was at the Prattville game, and if he started that was about the only time he was on the field... Literally, he was on the field the whole game only a hand full of plays... no factor at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkolumbo 8 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 guys there is NO WAY he qualifies. It's a HUGE red flag to the NCAA when they have to get multiple transcripts from multiple schools for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Hatch 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 He is ranked as highly as he is b/c he has the body/frame of an SEC-calibre DL RIGHT NOW! Plus, he is about as RAW as a player can get! If he ever gets his mind right and gets w/ the right coaching staff, the sky will be the limit for this young man! Good luck to him and God Bless him!

He sounds like Shane from Center Point...except Shane wasn't a 4 star in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Hatch 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 VERY good sources are saying that last week Fanning walked off the field during his HS's practice, and his coach suspended him for last week's game. The coach then told Fanning to come back for practice the next Monday, and the coach was willing to give him a fresh start. Fanning did NOT show for practice. Later in the week (probably yesterday), Fanning informed the coach that he was quitting the team, and then the coach told the media outlets. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

aupops2 7 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 This is really revealing!! There is another high profile recruit that DJ knows about (4*OL) that has recently dropped out of school and is preparing to enroll in a "school where he can get his grades up." Academics apparently are not considered a topic of discussion when it comes to recruiting qualifications, but I don't know why!! We have a kid, Jeremy Richardson, that everybody from our Ass't Head Coach on down, want to see wearing the O&B, and God-willing, it will happen. But he's gotta study and go to class!! Plus, as we can now tell from our basketball program, this University and it's compliance staff, ain't gonna bend the rules. So, when our guys get on the field, we can cheer for them knowing they are successful both on and off the field. If Fanning has issues, and UAT is willing to stick with him, so be it. But, as they say, there, but for the grace of God, ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUNaughty7 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 This guy could have been an amazing football player. I told y'all time and time again that he would never pan out. Y'all thought I was joking when I said we don't want him. he's uncoachable, won't work and just is an overrall quitter. Sad to see. He could have been an all american type player but IMO will never step foot on a D1 field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
