Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Because it is not "hype", it is reality. Past recruiting wars show we do not fair very well against bama for recruits they make a high priority. It is not because the fans on this board are "Less" a fan than the ones who refuse to acknowledge facts. I don't think this means anyone has "Little brother syndrome" either. The thing that bothers me most on this sight is the way Auburn men and women personally attack fellow Auburn men and women. We are better than that. We have plenty on this site that have "little brother syndrome" lol, and also I'm pretty sure he means that he doesn't know why people think that Bama will get every single recruit they want no matter the circumstances. I believe Tennessee and UGA are much more of a treat to Holyfield than Alabama is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman87 398 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 We've done OK getting RBs drafted. It's just a matter of where he wants to be (or who sweetens the deal in some cases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,093 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Any word here? Nothing new. He's dragging his decision out tip late in his senior season or just after. AU still leads but UGA is ramping things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 What's the scoop? Looks like momentum swinging to UGA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Apparently, UGA lost a 4* RB commit today; so I expect them to turn up the heat on Holyfield even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,061 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Holyfield recently visited UGA and is going back again this weekend. For whatever reason UGA coaches are getting their recruits to visit multiple times before they even come back to Auburn. So the leg-humpers definitely have the momentum.

You just answered your own question.The pups were the first to offer EH and have ramped things up the past month. It's a tight race now and they may actually lead.

All reports were that we were prepared to accept his commitment and were pushing him to do so. The fact that all it took was a previously committed 4* back to de-commit from them for him to show that kind of interest just tells me he's been a uga lean all along.

The interest was there long before the RB decommitted. My opinion was Holyfield was dragging things til UGA was ready to come hard after him which actually started a month ago. Same conclusion as you on the UGA lean, just a different route.BTW if we miss on EH the staff is ok with only taking Miller in this class @ RB but they will still pursue a few select guys. The 2017 RB class appears to be much deeper & better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is will uga recruit another RB? If so that would open things back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff thought the pursuit of others may push him away. I don't think so .. UGA has a tendency to take 2 RBs one year, 1 the next in almost a pattern. Based on that, this is a "take two year" although next year could be as well. Pops loves UGA but told him to choose for himself where he wants to go. If he doesn't commit this weekend, EH left there unconvinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice I didn't say he wanted to go to UGA because pops wants him to. But Evander has said he loves UGA but doesn't want to see him pick any place because of what he likes.
