wareagle165 0 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 ESPN posted a practice video that had a few plays with him in 1-on-1's. He's got great moves and looks fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waregl87 0 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Per Chad Simmons: "He says he is still strong to Auburn, but he plans to visit FSU and Georgia, and possibly Tennessee in January." Here we go! This is what you have to deal with if you're a big-time program recruiting with the big boys. Fans whine and cry about losing recruits, but it's the reality of big-time college football. When your recruiting against the likes of Bama, Florida, UGA, Texas, Florida St., etc., it is a 12-month battle for these kids regardless of a verbal commitment. Believe me, I'd much rather lose -- or steal -- a recruit every now and then than be Kentucky, Ole Miss and Miss. St. and recruit nearly a whole class that nobody else wanted. Louis is about as solid as you can be to Auburn, but big-time recruits are going to get invited by a lot of schools to take FREE trips for official visits. I'd take them all, too. But I don't think we have a lot to worry about with Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that honesty is also noted by recruits who appreciate it and causes us to get recruits for consistent top 5 classes. i personally like this approach.

This is what comes with the territory when you go after the best across the map and you fight to be elite yourself. This is where I want Auburn to be each & every year! You cant lose on some big time recruits if you were never in the game to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather have a coach that has this mentality than one that complains when he doesn't get his way, has NCAA rules named after him, and is a hypocrite.

I like the honesty too. And I think that we stand a good chance of getting more early commits this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,240 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It was obvious CTT and staff did next to nothing recruiting over his las two seasons. I remember when Tana Patrick signed with the turds, he came out and said Auburn never really recruited him. Imagine al AU fans love it that CGC and staff go after the big names. They may not get them all. Heck, they may not get most of them, but at least they are out there doing their best to bring the best talent possible to the plains. WDW Chiz and staff.

AU64 10,122 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Home state schools (and family and friends) always pressure kids not to go out of state. That's just life and it takes some work to convince the athlete and the family that he should travel 700 miles to go to college. It's tough to get the top rated players to leave home.

jvilletiger 0 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Why is it always our commits that take interest in other schools?! Can't blame kids for being a little nervous.
