AUEngineer2016 407 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 FWIW a free nugget on Swinney LINK Just spoke with Sandy Creek RB Eric Swinney here at the State Track meet (he is running second leg of the 4x100.) He says that Auburn is still recruiting him hard but the staff is also saying that they will take two running backs. Says he spoke to Auburn last night and will do so again today.When asked if he knows whether or not he can commit to Auburn right now Swinney just shrugged his shoulders and said "Don't know. Gotta figure that out." This makes me wonder. What if Gus tells him that he can commit but needs to know that Jovon could potentially commit as well? I like Swinney, but we are being spoiled rotten at RB. Is there any chance that we try KJ at safety if we snag Swinney and Jovon? I like having this problem, we have our pick of the best RBs in the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having this problem, we have our pick of the best RBs in the country! Indications are if we try KJ at safety it will be after he comes and is not in the rotation at RB. KJ wants to be a RB and that is what we are strictly recruiting him as at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn4Winners 0 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We are stacked at RB and if I've gotta see him go to another SEC program, I think OM is my first choice. Good luck Mr. Swinney! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUinfusion 390 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yes, his running style will fit in well at OM. He accelerates through a hole better than just about anyone in this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Swinney will be a good pickup for Ole Miss. Great back. Ole Miss recruiting has been slow to this point, this may help them pick things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFDTiger80 790 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Swinney had some very, very nice things to say about AU after he committed to Ole Miss. This is from AL.com "The number two school was Auburn," Swinney told 247Sports. "It was very difficult. Auburn has a nice coaching staff. That offense is beautiful. They run the ball at least 60 times a game. It was hard to deny that. JMHO, but I think Swinney wold have come to AU if Jovon had not committed to us. We can't get all the recruits! I wish him luck. He is a great back. I would not trade Jovon for him though. I would like Jovon to stay 2 years though. I can wish. Also, it looks as though great 2016 RB's are lining up for a chance to play at AU. DO not forget, ROC is a 5 star kid and his HS film was off the charts. We are in great shape at RB, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 JMHO, but I think Swinney wold have come to AU if Jovon had not committed to us. The timing of his announcement certainly lends credibility to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
