Weegle777 78 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Winston is also considering Stanford. So if he doesn't go to FSU then they are probably number 2. If that kid has a chance to attend Stanford, he would be insanely foolish not to take that opportunity. #setforlife with that degree. Trust me, there are a lot of broke Stanford grads. Had more than a few friends from there -- some still owe me money. That said, it's still a great college (as is Auburn), but only presents an opportunity. The rest is up to the person who is graduating. You still have to work though. But that degree does help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny -- some Ivy League folks snub their noses at Stanford, but there are many Harvard, Princeton, etc... grads who are broke. Stanford is a great degree, but don't underestimate Auburn's programs! I agree though, Winston should pick Stanford over FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my child had an opportunity to get a full ride to Stanford, I'd be remiss to not try to direct them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerWar 82 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 FIU still has a head coach and he plans on staying there, so I'm not sure how that translates into FSU losing coaches, specifically Eddie Gran as the FIU HC and Dameyune Craig as the OC to Florida International. However, it's a beautiful rumor for FSU's recruiting opponents as NSD approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald McDonald 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well everything you read is always 100% true. And even if he does, it's in his job description. Everyone on this site acts like it's a crime but in reality, it's necessary if he wants to land some of the big time recruits that are also looking at Auburn. I hate seeing people judge Craig on something that is unproven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gAUlf 1 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think Westie is in Craig denial. I've never seen it in print, but both Brian Matthews and Will Moon have mentioned on tiger talk a few times about the negative recruiting FSU , in particular Dameyune Craig, have used against Auburn.

AU-HANDLEY-TIGER 205 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think its Gran that everyone thinks is the negative recruiter- as far as Craig my first question to him as a parent of a recruit would be "if Auburn is such a bad place why did you choose to attend college there?"

Definitely a first rate school and a presence in the BCS hunt the last few years. But, I do have to say that if you are used to the south and that is all you know- California can be a bit much for some. Some like it, some hate it.

Ok so if it's true does that make Craig less of an Auburn man than you? I'm not the one being accused of bad mouthing Auburn, so I don't see how that pertains to me. For what it's worth Craig was my favorite player of all time. I can remember certain plays or wins before, but he is the first player I can remember watching and being in awe of. He was my Cam Newton growing up. Now I can't say I have personally ever head him say anything, but I don't see why BM or any other Auburn recruiting expert would say something like that if they did not have first hand knowledge.

ShugFan 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Anyone remember when these supposed bad remarks were made? If it was during tater tots time - or during jetgate - I can understand. I wasn't too happy about some stuff during those times either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two sons went to State Schools....with opportunities to go "elsewhere". I made a point with the boys that they should not let school get in the way of their education. I think they will be set for life because of living that advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
