NachoHunter 0 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't know if there's much to take from this, but TT's profile picture on Instagram is him at AU with his mother. I found this interesting, algorithm with his mother playing such a big role in his recruitment. His pic has been of him decked out in UGA gear forever. Just thought I'd share! http://instagram.com/trentthompson78 Did Saban stand on a milk crate or something in the pic of the two of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 UGA Mods haven't been able to reach Trent as of yesterday. He hasn't granted them the post visit interview they normally get. This one is going to be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnTiger2013 0 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I've gotten word that Coach Garner really believes that TT will end up at AU. Sort of caught me of guard, but hey I'm not complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that word. It sure would be nice to get Trent. I think we are in it like Dixie preaches, but it will be tough and most likely not settled till signing much closer to signing day.

I'm not really comfortable giving names, but I've got my connections to the football program as well as the university. I know this is recruiting and that things can change in an instant, but right now CRG believes that with the influence of his mother in his recruitment, AU is in excellent shape. The discipline issues at UGA are leaving her concerned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tivo48 31 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 If we do pull him from UGA, it would be by far the biggest upset in a long time IMO. Would he be one of the best recruits we've ever gotten? Considering he's the #1 recruit in the nation in some places, I think by definition he has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on how one defines 'biggest commit of all time' -- according to rankings at the time, or according to how things actually turn out. Or maybe according to flipping a huge recruit from a huge rival. Hindsight is 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2kid 216 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Best thing we can do is keep winning, have a big improvement in defense, and not have any discipline issues. The coaches kept everyone focused on getting better each week and playing each game one game at a time. They instilled rigor and discipline and the few bad apples moved on. The culture of the program was set and they run a tight ship. We can't get them all but we can certainly get a good share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be one of the best recruits we've ever gotten? Respectfully disagree with your first sentence. Coming out of nowhere to get Monty Adams when we were hanging on by a thread and did not look like we were even going to get an OV after firing the previous staff and landing him is the biggest upset in my time following AU recruiting. For sentence 2, on paper yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson was top 5 I'm the country, so that was close. Plus Lawson was blowing up towards the end of the recruiting year, getting close to #1.

Just for clarification, I wasn't trying to push to say TT was our greatest recruit ever if we pull him. But since the question was "would he be ONE of the best" I thought it was a no brainier.

Basically what I meant by my original comment that started all of this in the first place is that by pulling TT from UGA and having him sign with us could potentially be one of the greatest accomplishments Auburn recruiting has had this century. Number one high school player in the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
