Mikey 16,643 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 True. Plus redwine may not be a take either at this point either. Recruiting is nuts. And fun to follow as long as you take it for what it is... Redwine is certainly a take. Nobody decommits one week before signing day unless they have a firm, commitable offer elsewhere. C. Davis is in that category too. The sites don't allow for Golson, who will sign and count against this class. After these two cornerbacks and Golson are added we have four slots left. It seems that the anticipated signing day drama is getting less dramatic by the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Rivals would disagree with you. They are saying redwine is not a take right now even with the decommit. In the end I don't think anyone knows really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Are the CBs and now GG Robinson who we're going after now more of a project? and a case of we need bodies? I'm not a star gazer by any means but just wondering if we're potentially willing to take more "projects" than maybe we'd like to take b/c of needs. Usually if we are getting 3* guys it's been early in the process recruiting and had a good amount of time tell if they are a bit underrated. Seems like by it being the 11th hour so to speak we're scrambling a little? Sorry if I'm off base....just curious in regards to some feedback.

Dinson is not highly rated by the recruiting services, but word is the coaches like him quite a bit based on their own evaluation. Carlton Davis is a stud. Robinson *might* be a project. The flurry of activity the last few days did have a "scrambling" feel to it. But as the dust settles, look at what has actually happened- we've added Dinson and Davis, Redwine and Robinson have decommitted. That's all. Meanwhile, we're still heavily in play for Cowart, Holland, Tega, Valentine-Okeke and Patrick, and maybe even Ivey, Ryan Davis and/or Arden Key. There is good reason for a bit of a sinking feeling, but if you go strictly on what has actually happened vs. what kinda sorta seems to have maybe happened, it might not be so bad.

I really like Carlton. Certainly if we get half of the studs on our list I'll be very happy. Just was curious in regards to the recruits that have kind of came out of nowhere.

MadtownTiger 363 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have a question for those with a better handle on the situation than me. We haven't signed over 25 since 2010 (32). The last four classes have been 24-24-21-25. With that in mind, are we absolutely positive we will sign a full compliment of prospects (28, or whatever it is)? I'm curious what people think. WDE! Edit: Just to head this off.....In no way am I suggesting we will or should hold spots for early enrollees next year. I'm just making conversation.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm starting to wonder if our recently reconfigured staff might still be working out some communication issues. It's sounding now like Redwine was a total miscommunication and Robinson evidently still isn't actually an Auburn Tiger. It's not a good look, but maybe ultimately just a couple of bad hiccups in quick succession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plainsman 948 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes 28 has been the circulating number. We are at 22 now correct? 1- Holland 2- Cowert 3- Carlton Davis 4- Davante Davis 5- Ivey?? 6- Key or Prince. Which does not give us that coveted WR.... Who I think we are still in with Slayton.

IronMan70 3,277 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is the way I read these latest offers. I don't read anything negative into any of this. Redwine's decommit/recommit/never decommitted- says we either just got a silent commit or things look very good for Carlton Davis, Davante Davis or both. Depending on whether the coaches want 2 or 3 CBs, it will be Dinson and/or C. Davis and/or D. Davis. Robinson's offer- I think he is looked at more long term as a DT. Beckner is the priority and Norton has been the back up. This probably says that Norton has told the coaches he is going someplace else and Robinson is now the back up to Beckner. Robinson is actually an upgrade to Norton imo. If we see Robinson committing to AU it means Beckner has told the coaches he is going elsewhere. Robinson is a good player.

Certainly several ways to look at the situation. Don't think any of those guys are bad players. At the same time hoping we're giving them offers b/c really feel they can make an impact vs. being more of a project. Knowing nothing is a given with the higher profile guys. Just along the lines of quality vs quantity. It's going to be an interesting finish that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll sign our maximum of 28 if we can get the players we want. I don't think we'll go too far down the wish list before we decide to save a slot or two for early guys next year. Now, there's a pretty good chance we'll get to 28 with top prospects. I don't think this will be like a few of our recent years when at the last minute we've picked up 2* guys headed for Georgia Southern or UCF just to have warm bodies.

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Well with one week left, and trying my best to read the tea leaves that are on rivals, 247, and the rest of the internet, here is my best guess on who AU will sign: Cowart Holland Carlton Davis Fenton (spelling?) A WR - maybe Ryan Davis of the kid they are bringing in this weekend GGRobinson A surprise We will not get CECE (0% chance) We will not get Beckner Ivey sticks with FL (most people in the know say it is very close but believe he will stick with the school he has loved forever) Gibson sticks with OSU or goes to LSU that OL to alabama (since he did not commit to us on Monday) - this is just a guess now...
