keesler 5,928 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 yeah hes going to bama. Surprised they havent reached their salary cap yet. Man, im getting sick of losing out on all of these big recruits.. We recruited so great the last 2 years..what happened? Well, our class isn't going to be as good as the last few, but it's still dang good. I think the fact we've been hearing "You always see the big recruiting classess the year after the national championship" has us puzzled since bama is killing it. Also, we started off so strong and the late misses are tough to swallow. Yeah..the recruits we have already are great (if we can hold onto them), and im happy to have them, but we're nowhere near recruiting on bama's level like we did last year. We seem to be in just about every big dog's Top 5, but we can't get any of them to pull the trigger for us. I totally understand some guys not pulling the trigger on AU right now. If you were a parent of a kid that AU was recruiting, wouldn't you want to know who your son's offensive/defensive coach will be? What type of offense or defense we will be running, and if there will be any further coaching changes once the coord's are hired? Are the position coaches going to stay the same even with new coord's? A lot of uncertainty right now for a parent and a recruit. It will all work itself out and AU will be fine.

waregl87 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I dont think it's a huge loss, but we're not getting Liggins. Ole Miss mod on Rivals said unless something drastic happens, Liggins wil announce for Ole Miss. He's making his announcement in the middle of downtown Oxford on a radio show in the Square. I hope for his sake he picks Ole Miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keesler 5,928 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'd take our class over Alabama's class as it is today, especially when it comes to needs addressed (and even more so with Liggins, Gurley, and the expectation of Alexander's commitment). Would be hard for me to pass up the #1/#2 class for '12, but I suppose we have no other choice do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 There must be a dozen major schools without OCs and DCs and have they stopped recruiting? I just don't buy the angst over those vacancies. As for Bama...they will keep recruiting as long as kids will say "yes" and on LOI day a bunch of the 3* guys will be offered gray shirt status or told that their slot no longer exists because of unexpected commitments. In fact I would not be surprised if some of those 3*s haven't already been "de-committed" and just don't know it. Meanwhile, If Ward does not go to Ole Miss I will be amazed...a brother there who needs a scholly, the state school in the state where he grew up, close to home and a chance to play immediately. Sounds pretty simple to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds pretty simple to me. Good point, and here's a scenario: The new coordinators come in and finish strong....conceding recruits at this point is premature, they flip-flop quite a bit as NSD nears. All that matters is signed LOI's. The coordinator search is not as big of a hit to recruiting as some would believe. Anything past next week will do damage IMO, its not NSD week yet....

If it's immediate playing time he wants, then Ole sis is probably the spot for him. If he wants to win championships, then he should know he'll have to wait his turn. To be honest though, I don't really understand the obsession with playing early... at least when it comes in the way of winning. You're not going pro until after your junior year, so I don't see the rush to be a starter.

You think he is going to pass lemonier, eguae, sanders, Owens, ford, delaine, and sigler in 4 weeks of fall practice?? He might've gotten into the rotation, but a redshirt would'nt of been out of the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Hail the bama nation and get in line for that golden crimson teat. Who give a rat's butt about bama. Its been shown, repeatedly that there is little to no difference between the #1 class and the #5 class. All that matters are are you filling your positions of need with high quality recruits. Are we? I'll answer with an emphatic HELL YEAH! Get over your little sister complex and stop worrying what others have and get behind and support what we have.

What really is annoying is that most of the recent posts on recruiting and hiring of coordinators imply that the only way to do it is the way uat does it... if uat is so great, then go cheer for uat! AU won the BCS last year, and we did NOT do it the way uat does it - we did it with class and support for our AU family. We did it with a lot of offense, and defense only when it was absolutely necessary to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the post lately on recruiting and coordinators have been beyond pathetic. We are Auburn and we are Great! The problem is.... neither of us have OC's. Alabama stole Yeldon from us and are getting a 5 star WR soon Cyrus Jones. We are hearing no good news about recruiting Our class is getting worse it was top 7 now it is 12. Alabamas is getting better they are 2. (Rivals) Alabama curbed stomped us at home this season. They had us blown out last season until they fell apart. I love Auburn a ton , but even the biggest sunshine pumper can see things are going amazing for Alabama right now and not for Auburn. Their defense gives up less than 10 points a game our gives up around 30. Heck their offense is light years ahead of ours. I have trust in Chizik to get us on the right track and know it will happen. It just isnt looking bright right now. We havent heard any news on coordinators in weeks, recruits are taking our name off the list, we are taking commits from USM, Alabama is rolling in the 5 stars. We need to pull it together and get some depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand this thought when comparing the big 6 in the sec, but ole miss? He will be a great player that no one will know of until he gets drafted. When you add in the deal with his brother then good for both of them, but I have never understood the parents desire to keep a kid near home for the parents sake.
