IronMan70 3,277 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that Trickett will visit Auburn and Michigan, although USF and WVU remain the frontrunners. Hmm, interesting development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 t's difficult to see it any other way. I stand by my prediction that he starts against WSU. It will be good to see how this plays out. It would behoove Kiehl to step up tomorrow. Sorta "serve notice" if you will. If he doesn't it means we better find someone just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say for discussion purposes following plays out. * Nick Marshall becomes a star at position other than QB * Jason Smith becomes to valuable at WR That would leave 3 QB;s / He could add true QB depth.

Highly unlikely on that but he still could be brought in to compete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 FWIW Trickett Freshman highlights The thing I like most about him is his pocket awareness. He also has a nice touch on the ball on those short and medium passes. He won't be throwing many 60 yard bombs but he is a gritty possession type QB. It would be nice to have someone like him around for insurance. You get an injury or two and before you know it you are in trouble and forced to make a decision on burning redshirts.Before I started this thread, the first thing I thought about when I heard about his situation was insurance. That and the CDC connection. I'm not sure Trickett would go someplace to be insurance, probably not, but CDC was his position coach so you never know. CDC might even think CT is able to make a run at it along with the other 3 (KF, JW, NM). Having someone like him around this year would mean that in a worse case scenario we would never have to mortgage our future by being forced to burn redshirts on true Freshmen.

If JJ or JS was the best QB for the job in 2013 I would not consider it burning a redshirt. I would consider it a quality investment. Not predicting either one will win it. Just saying that is how I would view it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that will be the case that early though, but if it is, we would have ourselves a real winner on our hands.Edit: After watching the A-Day game, I now think for the first time that JJ, NM and JS will all have a realistic chance to come in and win the starting job.

AUloggerhead 2,253 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 AU has a QB problem: the two current scholarship QBs to go through spring training don't have a lock on the position, and either could be supplanted by the two newcomers in the fall -- a JUCO transfer and a true freshman. ... ... Why would we not give this kid a look? If CDC coached Clint at FSU then he's not an unknown quantity. The father's issues at AU have nothing to do with the son. If CDC thinks it's worthwhile and AU has scholarship room then I can't see adding Clint Trickett as anything else but a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 PASS ! +1 I watched the game yesterday with an open mind and I saw some improvement from KF. He did not play TOO badly against Clemson last year. He just needs to put some success behind him. He had a couple of great runs yesterday and seemed to get better as things went along. JW looked okay as well and he will make a great b/u QB. As is seems like the team is comfortable with him. He has tapped his potential as a QB though IMO.

AUIH1 1,515 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 We do not need Trickett in my opinion. However; we need to hope and pray either NM or JJ use this summer wisely and come in ready in August or hope and pray Wallace improves greatly between now and August. Those three are who we are counting on for at least a 7 win season in 2013. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe your post just made an argument for AU to take a chance on Clint Trickett! Seriously, at this point in time what could it hurt to have another option "just in case?"

ellitor 33,114 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 What we need is an efficient passer that does not turn the ball over. If the coaches feel Tricket is the best available with that skill set then I am all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjazz 0 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 From what I have heard, his father was one of the most hated coaches to ever coach at AU. I dont think he would consider us, and I think that feeling is mutual. His father was interviewed on a post game show at Auburn and told a couple of fans off when they questioned him about something. He left when tot did so I doubt that he has any particular animosity toward Auburn other than just being a general jerk. He's tied into the Bowden's though thus his current job. D. Craig was the qb coach at FSU last year and if he wants the kid, he should go get him. I can't believe he's any better than what we already have though if he can't play at FSU.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Wouldn't D. Craig, know if he is better? Good point. I would expect if he is visiting, that DC must think he is worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 We will begin to get some last looks from the great QB's after this season. Gus and Rhett are gonna need to work their magic for a while first, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
