2013 5* CB Mackensie Alexander (Clemson signee)

[427HarperAve 0]

With his brother on campus, I definitely think that pushes us to an even 50%. We need a cover corner with superb skills!

[AUTiger2012 84]

It would really be nice to get this kid to beef up our secondary. However, I think our chances of getting him is about 30-40%..

I would probably bump those chances up to 75-80% especially if he does not visit anyone else. Don't forget that Clemson and Miss St were the teams to beat until both their secondary coaches went to AU. ALSO don't forget that Mackensie visited last week and it has been mentioned that he is not visiting anywhere, and Mackerno (SP?) is visiting this week. We have a lot more to feel good about than a 30,40, or even 50% chance.

If we were considered to be in the top 2 for the alexander bros, who would be our main competition?

State or Clemson, with proly WVU. JMO though.

all of our corners would look better if we had a consistent pass rush.

when a QB is allowed to look through 3+ progressions even the best corners are going to have trouble keeping with someone when they dont know where they are going

[tigermac 11]

After watching his film vs. Hargreaves and Fuller, I think Mackensie is the best corner in the country. It's not a stretch to say he's a top 5 player in the country. I think he's a lockdown guy who is destined to play on Sundays and get paid handsomely to do so.

At the beginning of the football season last year, many of the analysts had him above VH3. They're both really good players.

hahaha, ya, I'm sorry. I REALLY like this kid!! super excited about the potential of signing him.

[WarEagle23 0]

I really want this kid! Now since we locked up Carl its time to focus on the Macks and Mr. Adams! I still have faith in Foster!

right?! i am 27 years old. i have a degree from auburn, which ended up leading me towards a career as a lawyer, which i love. i am about to get married. things are great. and this morning, i'm sitting here scouring the internet for news on the RF bama visit. an hour later, i stop. "what the hell am i doing??"

like, who cares, u know? it's a joke at this point. we are all here because 1) we love auburn football and 2) this recruiting stuff is FUN. but, when it gets to the point where it goes overboard and you are caring a wee bit too much about where some 17 year old kid was last night and why, you've gone too far! lol.

I'm right there with him. Getting Carl's re-up was huge but I personally think we need lock-down corners more than any other position. Coverage has killed us.

[mattarcara 0]

What are our current chances of getting him?

[ausburn 159]

What are our current chances of getting him?

About as good as his other choices. He is a close vest guy. Now our coaches have a better idea.

[WinForAuburn 128]

This has been my no. 1 guy. Hope we can pick him up.

[ShugMan55 0]

This has been my no. 1 guy. Hope we can pick him up.

With Carl Lawson confirming I agree with you. We need corners.

Hopefully the corners won't have to "lock down" near as long with CL after the qb

It all works together - both help the other.

any word yet on how his visit went?

(or word from any of the studs we had in this weekend?)

Good article from naplesnews.com 2/2/13 Good overview of their recruiting and perspective. Read the article.

"The kids love the limelight, loves the attention," said Lemming, who has Alexander rated as the fifth-best cornerback in the country. "More power to him. I'm pretty sure he knows where he wants to go. He's just waiting for the right time to announce it."
