msg6367 1 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Can we please stop writing of kids before they make their final decision? especially ones committed to Auburn! Reading that mess makes me want to hurl. It's rediculous!!!! That's why I asked the question above. He says he's committed. Ok, some other kids have said that and turned around on us, but most kids who commit stay. Moreover, I can cut him some slack for being "open." He has no idea, so far as we know, what kind of offense he'll be asked to plug into at Auburn or whether the people recruiting him will be at Auburn and be happy. Now, if there's something obvious about him moving on, I'd like to know. I just don't know what makes it obvious. He also has no idea what penalties Miami is facing or if the coaching staff will stay intact once those penalties are handed down. There's much less of the unknown at AU.

triangletiger 1,599 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 "I'm still COMMITTED but I've still got my options open," he said. "I'm still open." That is the single dumbest thing I have ever read... Well it's said every year by a number of recruits. You're spot on but the very sight of it makes me want to laugh & scream at the same time. The word "commitment" is a joke to these kids. It just jumps out at me when it's an Auburn "commit". :-\ I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think it's also a two-way street. What does it say about a coach when these kids think they've got an offer and accept that offer under the assumption that they'll be on the team next fall but then they get asked to grayshirt? Obviously, we benefitted by that with Patrick Miller. He wasn't asked to greyshirt. I'm just speaking generally about how the recruiting game works. Ricardo's actions and statements take place within the context of a larger recruiting atmosphere where a person's (recruit AND coach) words don't always prove to be true. I'm not condoning not keeping your word and I'm saying that our coaches renege on their commitment, but it's tough to put too much stock into what your told in the recruiting process.

Reading that mess makes me want to hurl. It's rediculous!!!! 1000% agree - we continue to see instances like this where, at NSD, they still choose the hat of the team they are committed to. Some just decide later that they want to do a selection press conference afterall and you have to have some drama to have one of those (i.e. at least a little bit in the air regarding who you are going to choose) Until I hear otherwise, that is what I am assuming in this case. War Eagle Ricardo. Have your fun and then come on home!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubgregg 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I truly hope he stays with us because he is an unbelievable talent. Besides Miami and I don't know why he would want to go there with all their current issues. Does anyone know who else he is looking at? Is Saban gonna cut another player to try and add him or what? If he stays with us great! War Eagle, Louis but if he doesn't want to be a part of something special like Auburn University the good luck to him. We don't need/want anyone who isn't ALL IN.

gpharper 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 New update on 247 says Chiz, BVG, and Troop visited him last night. The visit went really well and thinks that when we hire an OC that Louis will be back on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGGR82 4 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So, I'm confused and been out of the Louis loop....has he decommited or just shifted to a soft verbal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you say you are open and are going to pick between 3 schools on NSD, I would say that you are not committed. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we can pull Louis back in....but I've been more excited by J.Williams than RL. Maybe he's worried about the potential of us getting Patterson or Diggs.

AU64 10,122 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 i'm sure it's being characterized that way by the opposition. Most 18 year olds could never understand why someone would take a job for less money...even a HC job back in his home state. The more I watch recruiting, the more concerned I become about the US education system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he might redshirt to get up to speed, or he might play special teams and get in for a few plays on offense, but he's going to make an impact in the next few years.

AEAugirl 9,635 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Could this be a sign that AU is going to sign a couple of big WRs on the board (I would assume Diggs and Patterson) and that could be making him look elsewhere/explore options?

Chaotic_zx 1,047 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Auburn has a bunch of WRs that hasn't produced yet. As of now Auburn has Blake and that's it. So I'm going to curb my enthusiasm until another steps it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
