Jackson-Sullivan 0 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yep. We are suddenly no longer in the running. I believe it has a lot to do with the belief that we can't get him qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waregl87 0 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yep. We are suddenly no longer in the running. I believe it has a lot to do with the belief that we can't get him qualified. That's fine. Don't get me wrong -- I'd love to have him. But I'd rather just not deal with altogether than for him to sign with us and eligibility questions come up in the middle of the season. Exactly how is he gonna get into any school other than UK (because Calipari is just gonna get somebody to take Lacey's ACT for him -- ala Derrick Rose )?

AURandy1345162767 14 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I am going to throw out this topic for discussion, if anyone wants to, but could the fact that we're not doing as good as hoped in the 2nd signing period be either partly or maybe even entirely due to the fact that Barbee has still not signed his contract? Don't you think rival coaches are using that big time against AU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Growlin 0 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 This late signing period is not a bust IMO. No we haven't signed anyone(yet) but anyone we sign in this late period would just be icing on the cake. The ingredients for a very good team in Barbee year 2 is in the oven baking already. That high performance, high maintenence car is not always the best buy on the lot even though it gets the most attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches deserve credit for bringing Auburn into the spotlight and we have brought in a good early signing class and will be markedly improved next season.

AuburnEngineer 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Having said that I do believe Barbee is the best recruiter Auburn has ever had so we are in good hands. I highly doubt getting him qualified was a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt getting him qualified was a problem. I have to agree. I think the quality of recruits that are even giving us the time of day are way up with Barbee. We are a major college in a major conference. He has us in the mix and I love what he brings to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we show that we can compete at the elite level, and get the TV time of the other big programs, we will start raking in great talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he wasn't happy. Both parties (Barbee and our compliance officials) have since come to an understanding on getting guys qualified and what we can and absolutely cannot (under any circumstances) do, from what I understand. You can draw your own conclusions in this particular situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long shot or not, I'm glad to know Coach Barbee is gonna fight to the end. That kind of tenacity will begin to pay off as we improve our win/loss record. WDE!
