auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 In the long run, they both will regret not signing with Auburn. Enjoy sitting in your homes and watching the Auburn Tigers start winning more SEC Chamionships and National Championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTiger 0 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I seems like most of those in the know had some very bad intel. Watching GA jump on one and Miami pick up two with probation pending is like WOW ! Gus & company did a good job given the mess they were left with, but the expectations for landing at least one of these guys was built up so big this is deflating. Congrats to Miami for doing a nice job to reel in two potential stars and GA for pulling in one themselves. Time to move on.. War Eagle ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn never led for Elder. Griffin is still a very long shot at getting in at Miami and Toby is not a given he will get in UGA either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp4au 2 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Good luck to the players. BUT...I do find it so funny how only yesterday puppy fans were saying only Auburn or Miss would take a non-qualifier like Toby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hmmm...I hadn't realized either one of these guys was that big of a deal. Good luck to them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootskii 264 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I know Toby picked UGAly but what about Griffen? It says on rivals that he is still undecided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sogaaufan 27 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I certainly don't want to slam the kid or come off like a bammer (we didn't want him anyway), but I feel like Johnson would have been more of an "icing on the cake" guy than a real need at this point. He seems to have grade concerns and he is trying to rehab a pretty severe knee injury. My point is, it doesn't seem that he would have done us much good this fall anyway, and you recruit JCs for immediate help. I think we will be better off in the long run by saving the scholly and going after an elite HS DT next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know Barton Simmons had us leading for Corn at least following his visit. Had some inside "Family Info" is I believe how it was put. He is too small (I know how many folks just rolled their eyes) and will do better in the ACC. DG is the only one I was really pulling for.

Yeah but I bet they let them skate with already "Self-Imposed" penalties. Donna Shalala? Didn't she used to tote Bill Clinton's water during his many "I didn't do that.." episodes.

He sounded like good athlete that probably could have contributed something, but I never really saw the intent in signing a JUCO guy with a bum knee. You just don't have the time that you would with a freshman. I look at it as more of "an icing on the cake" kind of deal too. Getting him would have been great, but I dont think losing him effects this D-Line that much, especially in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt_johnp 0 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Both supposedly will have to trouble qualifying so we might not of lost out on that much. Also i just want to point out yall are the biggest group of haters I have ever incountered. "Oh they didn't sign with us? Their careers are over and they will surely regret this for the rest of their lives." Ya because our past 4 classes have turned out great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellitor, I love your info and I even follow you on twitter, so this is not any type of attack on you at all -- I appreciate all you do for the board and the information you pass on to us who are not in the know.. But um so what happens if one is to 'alienate' others on a MESSAGE BOARD? He will continue to visit the site. Sure VT shouldn't have grouped everyone together by quoting the OP and saying we all have that attitude, but I mean VT does have a point -- what the OP said is a super sore loser/sour grapes/little punk type of comment to make.
