ellitor 33,114 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Unless we win 10+ games I don't think we get this kid. Just my gut feeling Respectfully disagree. We may not get the kid but it won't be because we don't win 10+ games. With the recruiters we have plus going 8-4 or 9-3 as I expect in turning things around every player the coaches want will take a hard look at Auburn. I think we'll have a great recruiting class probably in the top 10 again but I just don't see us getting this kid in particular We may not but a 10 win season as opposed to an 8 win season will not be a factor. E, I don't think many of us will agree with your statement. You never know exactly what all influences the minds of different recruits. And a 10 win season in year 1 for Gus would be huge... I don't think that 8 vs 10 wins is any deciding factor in itself...but winning 10 means that out of UA, LSU, UGA and aTm, we've beaten at least two. And that in itself is big...showing we can beat these kind of teams. Big on the field yes but history has shown in most cases relationships win recruiting battles as oppsed to any record from the range of 7-5 to 11-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,114 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Free nugget from Bryan Matthews on Mr. Hand that seems a bit surprising. I think there's an excellent chance he (Da'Shawn Hand) visits. I'd be surprised if he doesn't. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get to 8 wins and the brand is physical, gritty type of football we will get everyone's attention enough so that it could swing a few kids but as E said it's the relationship built between the position coach/recruiter that is referred to time and again by the kids. Many need that father figure/mentor quality that is sought after by schools in need of a recruiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Basically the deal is this so far; We didn't have a chance for a visit with the other staff IMO. Now with Gus and Co. having two former AU players on staff and the fact that Hand has two coaches that played at AU as well (Not sure if they played with CDC or not) at his HS, Bryan Matthews feels we are in good shape for a visit. Right? In other words, he's an AU lock!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aupops2 9 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 8 wins this year would represent a stark improvement in our program. I'm with E, I think 8 wins puts us in play for many 4* and5* players. Don't forget, we have 5 0r 6 ex-recruiting cordinators on our staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 From what I am able to gather the mere fact that he is even coming means he is serious. He isn't a "see how many schools will kiss my butt" kinda kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't a "see how many schools will kiss my butt" kinda kid. Good info. Just because his coach is coming here doesn't mean the kid has to jump in the car. Were he not interested, the fish are biting in Georgia and he could just stay there. Him coming has to be a positive sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly understand he could just be pacifying his Coach out of respect. Dede has said however that he will never push AU on a player. He can't be blamed if he doesn't know anything bad to say about our beloved Auburn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 This could be fun... Yes it could. I have seen several of the Top Recruits @ 247 have mentioned publicly that they want to play with him. It's just kids talking I know, but my point is having him even visit is awesome. Look what Nkemdiche did for freakin' Ole Miss for God's sake!
