2015 4* DE Prince Tega Wanogho, Jr. commits to AU!

[Randman5000 4,229]

Whatever. Let's move the conversation less about old Tennessee classes and more about Tega visiting.

[ellitor 33,111]

How much influence do you think it will have that Chidi Okeke Valentine committed to LSU?

little

Barton Simmons CB'd him to AU.

I agree with E. Cowart and Tega to Auburn sounds good to me.

[doc4aday 1,887]

Cowart and Tega would be a great get for us. The upside with Tega is off of the charts. With the quality coaching he will get at Auburn, he could be an all SEC player and a solid chance to play on Sundays. I have a great feeling that come NSD, we will shock the football world in a wonderful way that will make all of us happy and severely optimistic for the future.

[InfernoOrangeSS 321]

I would love to get Cowart and Tega. Great players with huge potential.

Based on what everyone on this and other boards are posting, Tega has a ton of potential. If he wants to come to AU, then that will be good. However; who is going to deliver the quality coaching at AU that will produce an all SEC player that contributes to SEC championships and hopefully national championships?

I love his potential just like a bunch of us fans. However, it will be two years until he is ready this defense needs pass rushers this year. We all saw what happened when we lost our only pass rusher this year.

Tega is not a great player (yet). He has great potential and that is why he is rated so high.

Lawson will be back, which will be huge. Cowart will be a big contributor as well. Don't worry be happy.

I would assume that will come from our DL coach, Garner. If CWM wants him there, I think we should all assume he's a good coach.

LOL, not so sure CWM wanted him as our DL coach more so than our AD. Just to play the game, if Boom is our DC for more than 2 years and Garner remains the DL coach, it will mean that Garner has actually earned his pay in terms of coaching on the field (his weakness) and off of the field (recruiting, which is where Garner "garnered" his reputation). Time will tell.

Six first round picks, a bunch more drafted, a bunch more signed as free agents. Not too bad.

WDE!

[tiger88 934]

Garner coached 19 draft picks on the dl in uga in 15 years. 5 first rounders. He coached a first rounder his first year at AU who came out of nowhere. He has one year where there's not a superstar due to our one potential superstar getting hurt and now we have goofballs calling him out in recruiting threads like they think he is some buffoon. Priceless. Freaking priceless.

Fortunately, our coaches can sell themselves to these recruits and present their very impressive resumes. I have a feeling the recruits are confident in the coaching they would receive here as am I and most others.

Hard to argue. He may be the best in the world, but he def has a decent resume

[AuburnArch13 185]

Let's not go down the Garner debate again. Any rumblings as to whether Tega is willing to move up his commitment date? I assume we hold a spot for him anyway with Key out of the picture, but I'm just wondering.

[JFDTiger80 790]

I think we want Tega BAD right now.

[gman87 398]

Either that or Jefferson went silent with the coaches. More likely Tega is next man up after Cowart at DE.

Boom wanted to retain Garner. He thinks very highly of him. If Boom didn't want him CRG would be at another position.

The staff is working on that as we speak.

You.ve always liked players who are rated lower than their potential appears which is an admiral trait.

[JFDTiger80 790]

Tega is a 4*. That is pretty highly rated. It has to be on potential because of size and speed. Sounds like he is a smart kid too. If he learns quickly, he could still be a steal.

His athletic ability is fantastic. He is raw still and that's to be expected with only one year of organized football under his belt. If he had been here playing every year he'd be a 5* without question I think. He's still under the radar just a bit because of his lack of experience.

OK. I hope all of you defending Garner are right and I am wrong. I just want to see good DL play on the field at AU (DL being drafted based on potential means nothing to me. It is what the unit produces on the field at AU is what is important), I have yet to see good DL play at AU in the two years that RG has been our DL coach and even while he was at uga, the DL play on the field was less that stellar based on the talent lining up on the field.

To say again, I hope all of you who believe Garner to be a competent DL coach are right and I am wrong because that will mean AU will win more football games. Time will tell. And if RG proves to be a good DL coach at AU starting next year, I will gladly post on this board, the football board and any other site that I post on, that I was wrong. I have no problem admitting I am wrong in my opinions when proven wrong.
