War to the Eagle 364 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 He seems pretty firm. He's has a great relationship with all of our commits. But he's 16, I can't blame him for at least being hesitant. Come on, now. This is supposed to be a family website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Tennessee has 69% of the CB predictions at this point, to Auburn's 31%. That's pretty telling when a guy is supposedly committed. I'd say he's leaning heavily towards Tennessee at this point, but wants to keep his spot in the AU class until he's positive. I bet the coaches won't let that play out too long.

Every single one of those CB's save for one was made prior to his commitment to Auburn months ago. Those things dont get updated when a recruit commits.

Madame Voodoo La Rue de Ole Salsa quotes her crystal ball as saying if you break a mirror it is seven years of bad luck, but advises if you hire a good attorney you can get it down to 2-3 years. Crystal balls are as reliable as E.......hey maybe there is something to these crystal balls. Recruits have been known to bust a few crystal balls with their actions.

Timeslider 6 269 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The way i understand it these crystal balls really need to be taken with a very large grain of salt. Most of the people doing the predicting are biased one or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Metafour has returned! On a serious note, if I recall, Harrell wasn't supposed to commit to us in the first place as he was a big UT lean at the time. Which is a reason why UT leads for him on the crystal ball.

I think Harris was committed to Ole Miss, then switched his commitment to us. Now he's considering UTk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This is from a tweet from AUC "Auburn offensive line commitment Marquel Harrell "firm" to Auburn, but Tennessee leads" If that is not a contradiction, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 As I recall Harrell caught all the insiders by surprise and maybe some coaches as well, but the good guys accepted his committment after CGM talked with him. Tells me our staff wasn't quite ready for his announcement, but maybe there was a little misunderstanding too. I don't know. I've always felt his commitment was a little shaky. We'll see.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The way i understand it these crystal balls really need to be taken with a very large grain of salt. Most of the people doing the predicting are biased one or another. Basically, it all depends on who the CB is from; some are insiders and some are not. Look at what the insiders are saying from the schools in the mix. That will often tell a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimas4Ziemba 0 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It wouldn't shock me if we have been slack in contacting Harrell. All the other O-line commitments that we have right now are elite, top 20 at their position type players. Harrell to me always came off as a guy that caught JB Grimes eye for his aggressiveness, but he just doesn't off the cuff seem to have elite level athleticism and agility. I am not saying this is happening, but the coaches see we have much bigger fish in the pond with legit interest in us so if you're going to cut anyone loose it would be Harrell. I couldn't see us taking anymore than 6 o-linemen this year with the needs we have at other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I did say "that I'm not saying this is happening", so this is just a guess that is stemming from the fact that kid releases a top 5 with UT at the top. Why is he doing a 180 all of a sudden when he virtually had the same decision to make now as he did back in March and he chose Auburn, out of the blue mind you? I don't buy the whole "confusion" over him just releasing an OV list....I think that's BS. He knew what he was doing when he had UT at the top.

Dixie1860 27 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Not sure why Harrell said he likes UT a lot , and now he might de-commit from AU It is all speculation for now. He likes them though because they are telling him anything/everything to get him to do just what you said. I know it is frustrating. Just remind yourself that he is only16 years old.

Well that and they legitimately do have an easier path to PT..They have 4 or 5 less schollied OL's on roster than AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
