gr82b4au 5,568 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Too many of you are letting 1 recruit's decision turn this into a bad day for you. Our class is awesome. We added a top OL today. Be happy with who we have - these kids deserve it. Roc and Tre stuck with AU through it all. They never waivered. The 2 corners we flipped from uat - we needed them badly. It is a good day for AU.

VAtiger12 112 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 In fairness to RE, at least he never committed to anywhere. He didn't do what a crap load of kids out there do. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,826 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 True. He was never an Auburn commit it just stings a little that he went to Auburn High. This class is awesome though. So is Auburn done for the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And honestly, I only want the kids who are COMMITTED to Auburn to sign with us. I'm not saying I never wanted RE. But I am saying that maybe it's for the best for us, as well as for him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boytano 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 suggestion to au athletics...next year print the name of signees on a blue field for better legibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leglessdan 1,934 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Let's not pretend this doesn't hurt for all the bammers that are here hiding and giggling to themselves. But...to all you bammer idiots, even with ALL these 5* recruits...you still couldn't beat us on the field this year. I dont see it happening next season either. Good luck with Lame Kitten.

bikeriderga 134 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Besides Smith, have we picked up any new NSD recruits? Know the day is not over, but I have had to work this morning and no time to monitor. The Evans loss was BIG, but I have to say the way the family played it, we should not be surprised. I don't think Evans' father EVER got over his recruitment and lack of play at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigersauburn217 2 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hope Gus can outsmart Saban on the field. Certainly let Nick do better in terms of grabbing new talent. Good class, yes, but still got beaten badly by Saban. Just like Gene and just like Tuberville. The former coaches only won once against the guy and couldn't beat him on the recruiting trail and we know what happened. He better keep winning on the field, where it matters, otherwise the losses + losing recruiting will boot him out of here like the other two. When Saban has the talent, it takes extremely strong coaching to beat him and he's pretty good at coaching. I dread the day he was hired in Tuscaloosa. When he retires... whenever that day comes... I am going to be so happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripe 5 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yea he seemed to still be pretty upset about Bo taking his playing time. Bo would have taken anyone in the country's playing time. It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 We were certainly better off missing on Yeldon (in favor of Tre Mason) and Cyrus (in favor of Greg Robinson). History supports his statement. And tigersauburn, Tuberville beat Saban four times. Check your history: 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007. He was 4-3 head to head with Saban.

wildlife alumni 304 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 So I guess we are down to one more and we are done. Do we have any back-up guys we want our will we just save the five or six spots for next years class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,670 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I literally don't see how you choose what will most likely be a starting job at Auburn over second string forever at Alabama I doubt he'll be sitting on any bench regardless of the team. Well I do think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaAubie 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 In fairness to RE, at least he never committed to anywhere. He didn't do what a crap load of kids out there do. Best of luck to him. He didn't commit publicly...but apparently told the coaches enough to tell the web admins to upload his profile during the committment announcement which had to be taken down and told the coaches enough they were not recruiting a backup. Two recruits even made it over for his announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two recruits even made it over for his announcement. Not true... all possible commitments are pre-made on Auburn's website and hidden by code. Someone was able to access RE's "commitment profile" and posted it falsely claiming Auburn had put it up prematurely. That, in reality, was not the case.

Bunn1 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The only reason, and I mean the only reason that we miss out on these top defensive recruits is because of how bad our defense has been over the last 4-5 seasons. Auburn use to be known as a defensive school, but lately, the statistics speak for themselves we are simply not putting enough guys into the NFL from the defensive side of the ball. Until we turn that side of our game around, we will not consistently pull the top talent that a team like uat does. We will get a few here and there, but until we improve, we should not expect more. Evans said it himself, it was a decision that he made because it gave him the best opportunity, and that opportunity is not the opportunity to start, it is the opportunity to make it to the next level. That is simply how he sees it and I can't fault him for that no matter how bad it hurts to see him go to uat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been committed to play at Auburn, he would have pulled out an Auburn hat. The fact that he pulled out a Bama hat indicates that he wasn't committed to Auburn. I only want players at Auburn who are committed to the school. Do I wish RE were one of those players? Yep. Do I think we should just fold up our recruiting tents and not go head to head with Bama? Nope. Do I think we're going to lose the Iron Bowl because we didn't get RE? Not at all. I don't think my attitude is defeatist at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
