Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Auburn will win both lines of scrimage Saturday. It won't be by overpowering strength but tecnique and speed. I saw the light start to come on in the fourth quarter last week. Look for Daniels to see more time at the Tech 3 position. Gus and Rhet called a good game last week. The offense just missed a few. Look for a more solid passing game early followed by a good ground game late for ball control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm pretty certain that RC is as confused as anyone right now. Going back to the interview KN @ AUC had with him a couple months ago and his comment that even if he commited he very well could flip, it would seem that his heart is one place while maybe his head is another. If he commits tomorrow to AU or bammer, whoever isn't chosen is more likely to be where he ends up. IYAM, and no one did but I'll tell you anyway, he would prefer to play at AU. He just wants to be 100% certain that everything will be alright. Bammer is winning and we have not been. Add to that the pressure instate kids feel to attend bammer and you have what we are watching unfold before our eyes. I think his heart is with AU, but his dad wants bama. If he chooses bama, I think he might flip to us by January. If he choses us now he will stay a Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,873 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Look at Tana Patrick and Jonathan Atchinson at bama. Both of them could have started at Auburn, but they chose bama. Neither one have seen the field since their senior year of high school. Now you tell me what's the fastest way to the NFL? Sitting on bench at bama, or actually playing at auburn? Good point. Eric Smiths little brother too. How'd that work out for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they are supposed to do. If they do not see the field that is their problem not ours. Auburn will not get more talent in a few years. The mentality needs to change or we need to win. How do you win without better players? Gus may get a pass this year but next year...nine wins is a must to improve recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im4au 44 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 We shouldn't take stars as gospel. Everything is relative and there will always be misses, both high and low. Some of those sitting 4 stars may be misses who could have signed with lesser programs and still be sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Garner is very capable at getting talent and he will. If you can develop talent you can take some raw kids a la Kennion and Lawrence. Both are raw and don't have all the bad habits that the majority of our returning DL have displayed. He has done wonders considering!! We went 3-4 years without developing one dang player!!! NOT ONE!!! Lemonier and Lutz were no better last year than they were two years prior. That is what has to change IMO. If you prove that you can take good talent and make great players you are far more likely to get a highly ranked kid to sign on. They see what you did with a less talented kid and realize that if you did it for that kid then they know you can help them. Look at the improvment to this point from where we were last year. Then think if anyone had bothered to actually coach the last two years where we would have been. If we don't sign Clark or Evans you can thank the previous staff. They are the ones who tried to cover up the lowly state our program had submerged into. They are the ones signing top classes yet nobody is any good! You can't pin the failures of Chiz & Co. on Gus. He has done as well as could be hoped for. It will take at least one more year to crawl out of the pit we dug for ourselves. At least one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are correct, but I was told Saban & Company are putting the full court press on Ronnie & his family this weekend, and if that attempt doesn't sway him (after his dad told Bone he was going to commit last week) then I think it bodes well for us.

What was put straight? Mikey was simply commenting on CG and others as to whether there were players at Bama sitting that would be starting at AU. Yes people rip Bama (but not for sitting 4* players) all the time. Unless you are trying to say that he sits players that he should be playing? Couldn't tell what you meant. Then you say that Auburn will not get better players/talent in a few years. WTF is that suppose to mean?? Then the mentality has to change you say or we need to win?? What mentality is that exactly?? Of course we need to win. But just to make my point would you say that Texas has bad players or bad coaching?? Do we have bad players and good coaches or vice versa?? To answer your silly question, you can win with coaching, hard work and/or good players but just good players won't win you a damn thing. And finally exactly what is Gus getting a pass from and who is giving this pass?? And how did you arrive at 9 wins as a must for improving recruiting?? You quote things that you don't even allude to in your post. And WTF is a "non-objective opinion"?? I know what you think you are saying but... Finally, thank God you say something that is coherent in "Winning makes a difference along with (you say besides but that is incorrect, no shock to anyone attempting to read this I'm certain) relationships". Then you reference five months from now (which I have to assume is your alluding to NSD) and talking then. Which since I follow recruiting is very likely although you might want to stick to a subject for which you have some knowledge of. Because if you have it, you are not so good at sharing it.
