AUHEARDOC 0 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wish him the best, but I would be worried about this decision if I were him. JHoke tweeted he is a 4.0 student. He has the opportunity to turn a scholarship into a college degree and do something outside of football if it doesn't work out. But at UAT, he will not be too high on the depth chart and we all know how guys get "processed" over there. Would hate to see this guy lose a shot at a quality degree if he doesn't make a move up the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altima 200 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 For those who think that SDH "grew up an Auburn fan"... think again. His answers to reporters was that he's a big "Auburn fan" - mainly because that was his only legit offer for some time. (what's he supposed to say?)... But, when other schools came calling, his allegiance continued to change. ***this is for the people who are upset that another life-long AU fan has committed to bammer. he's not, nor has ever been, a AU fan... fyi.

Actually he has said many times Auburn was his childhood favorite. But with scholly limits in places people put way too much stock in that now.

Where ever he may get processed to he would still get a quality FREE education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,113 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 FWIW @kkolumbo@Smuphy fwih, he (SDH) was told on the phone that if he commits elsewhere his spot will be taken (hence the Davis offer) for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUSWEN 0 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 FWIW @kkolumbo@Smuphy fwih, he (SDH) was told on the phone that if he commits elsewhere his spot will be taken (hence the Davis offer) for good. I like this approach personally. Maybe this is a special case and not really a divergence from the mentality of the previous staff, but I like that when this staff misses on someone we move on and get another to take their place immediately instead of holding scholarships open for people that aren't coming here. Again, one instance doesn't make a pattern, but it makes sense to me after seeing Gus's no-nonsense approach to things that once someone chooses another team, he's not waiting around for them to change their mind. I bet the word "wait" is a cuss word in Gus's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the word "wait" is a cuss word in Gus's house. I am not sure it makes a statement across the board on philosophy. I think it's more a reflection of coaches having graded SDH slightly higher which gives them the opportunity to take Davis immediately and forget SDH. Now if there is a recruit who Auburn likes much better than the next available and feels they can flip the guy I expect the coaches may stay on said recruit.

Boytano 0 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 meh, we lose one kid that we never had and gain a kid that wants to be at AU, time to move on. Welcome Mr. Davis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,669 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Last recruiting season, after the new staff came in, we didn't waste any time offering someone else immediately after player #1 committed elsewhere. It certainly looks like a change in philosophy and I like it. These guys accepting an offer until somebody else offers and then switching, to heck with 'em. Let 'em learn that once they jump off the bus, they aren't getting back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Even if he commits to us now, that other coach will through out a sweet offer to Shaun in hopes of changing his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Even though Shaun committed to the updykes today, I think coach Malzahn should still keep an offer on the table for Shaun and start recruiting him harder then ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the coaching change may have had a short term effect on their philosophy. Sure, we tried to coax guys back that didn't know the new coaches but the situation has stabilized so we can afford to play the recruiting game a little tougher.

Sure, we tried to coax guys back that didn't know the new coaches but the situation has stabilized so we can afford to play the recruiting game a little tougher. As I said earlier I think it depends more on the differences in the recruits. I think if the coaches like a recruit marginally better that commits somewhere else then they let him go. If a recruit is much higher than the alternative and coaches feel they can be flipped they will keep pushing. Don't forget, they flipped 8 guys in the 2013 class.
