Mikey 16,714 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Y'all please remember that AVERAGE attrition from one year to the next is almost always seven to nine dropouts. We had 12 this year, but that's expected in years of a coaching change. You are counting since before Gus took over. Since he took the job we have had 5 or 6 to this point according to an al.com article written the other day. As I do every year, and have done for the past 25 or so years, I count from August 1st to August 1st. Attrition from one year to the next is, after all, the significant number. Seven to nine with no coaching change and 10 to 14 with a coaching change is extremely predictable, no matter who the coaches involved are.

aupops2 9 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 In looking at the boards lately, there is conversation about Clark, A Williams, and Evans, some about Blair, and a little about Lambert(UF bound). (I'm talking about uncommitted only.) That's awfully shallow at this time of year. We have no OLs and aren't even leading for any. We need at least two. We are in same situation with DL, where we need at least three, have one commit, and leading for none. I am hearing no chatter on anyone else and the DL really concerns me. We have a minimum of 9-11 more slots, so I hope the logjam breaks soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the positions you mention Pops I really believe with a good year under our belts and an implosion by one or more SEC media darlings (A&M, Ole Miss) we could pick up a few "Flips"?

I agree, Dixie. With such a few non-commit prospects, I think it's got to come from flips unless a Lorenzo Carter, Deshawn Hand, or one or two of those Louisiana WRs show interest. Keep in mind, it's not a bad thing to aim high. And there are a lot of DL and OL in Georgia that Coach Garner knows very well. Also, I'll bet ole' Coach Craig has some tricks up his sleeve and Ole Miss and FSU better take note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnGrad97 37 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm not ready to start worrying just yet. After a 3-9 dumpster fire season, players that looked lost on the field, players that were being pushed around by even our OOC opponents, and 3-4 years of defense that looked like a pop-warner league, I can understand why many recruits will want to see our product on the field before taking a long look at Auburn. Our staff knows this, and I can assure you they plan on "wowing" the college football world with our turn-around this season. You can see our guys getting bigger, stronger, faster in the practice photos/videos. We do have a ton of elite talent, but it has just never been coached very well. We'll turn heads this year, just wait and see. If we're still having this conversation come December, then I'll start to worry. War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops you will have to do more than that to get me upset with YOU. I say we end up flipping at least three higher ranked kids. Garner knows about a few that haven't blown up yet but will, same thing with Craig. And of course there will be some heretofore unknowns that come outta nowhere as well. (likely DT's & WR's) We will be just fine. I am still amazed that we managed to get both Garner and Craig as well as Smith and Cheese!! Add Gus and Rhett and I dare say we have the best recruiting combo in all of college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Even with all the moving parts, if we were to land D. Blair, A. Williams, R. Clark and R. Evans, we would be in pretty solid shape going in to the close out of the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans, we would be in pretty solid shape going in to the close out the class. I agree 100%. I prefer getting the best of local (AL, GA, FL, LA & MS) and a few from other places and finish out each class with our diamonds in the rough if you will. I just believe that all this crap of slow-playing the local talent is going to backfire on sabear. Where as we remain loyal and the talent will take notice. Coaches will appreciate this as well.

ellitor 33,114 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Precciate all you do but I differ significantly on some of these. -The staff promised Roc when he committed that we are only taking him and Pettway at RB. Even though Tony James is an Athlete he is not a take because Roc would see it as us going back on the deal with him. We are looking for 1 more slot but it's not a small slot like James. It's a big slot WR. So basically is pointless right now to say Auburn is his leader. Same applies to Darrell Williams. We have stopped recruiting both players for the time being. On Andrew Williams right now it's a 3 team battle with us, Clemson, and Ole Miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct about the latest on both but just wait until NSD and maybe extra spot as slot or backup plan. We are done recruiting at RB (I did put 'DONE' on position need).Thanks for your note on Andrew Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
