ellitor 33,108 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I was thrilled with our 2015 class. No school in the SEC had 19 total, 4 Star recruits. I love as much as anyone to get the 5 Star recruits, but am thrilled with all of the 4 Star young men we signed. We signed 20 4*s & 1 5*. Bama signed 14 4*s & 6 5*s http://247sports.com/Season/2015-Football/CompositeTeamRankings It irks me to the limit to see Ole Miss do better than us with recruiting. We should never, ever, lose that recruiting war with Ole Miss. Face reality Doc. This is not the Ole Miss of history. Hugh Freeze is legit & has the Rebs damn real. As long as Freeze is there the Rebs will consistently bring in top 10-12 recruiting classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we lost one to transfer, we should be in good shape heading into the next two seasons but need those results on field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Getting Brown would definitely be acceptable if we miss on Gary. Obviously i would love to have them both join this class. Acceptable. That is funny wording. Brown is a 5 star and the number 1 recruit in the state of GA this year. It is better than acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love as much as anyone to get the 5 Star recruits, but am thrilled with all of the 4 Star young men we signed. I think if we can have a top 12 class this year, we will be fine. I do think we will wind up with 2 to 3, 5 star recruits when the dust settles. If we get 3 total 5 star recruits and add some additional 4 star recruits in the areas of the most need, we could get in the top 5 classes. It irks me to the limit to see Ole Miss do better than us with recruiting. We should never, ever, lose that recruiting war with Ole Miss. Doc, I agree. I wish Ole Miss reverted back to their typical self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Perspective: if Derrick signs with us this will arguably be the best D line signing class in the history of Auburn football - for folks that don't know AU for decades meant world class defenses, that's saying something - but if we don't get Brown, this will probably still be the 4th year in a row we get a top 10 signing class.

aujeff11 6,243 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Brown, Davis, Ant. Jackson, and Rice are all from Georgia and all could be headed to or enrolled at Auburn. I wonder how Georgia feels about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Doc, I agree. I wish Ole Miss reverted back to their typical self. They haven't faced the "let down year" after their surprising rise. Let's wait and see how the program handles that, now that they've tasted success.

Come on down to the Plains Derrick! Not only are we looking at possibly the best DLine class in a very long time, maybe ever. We also could wind up with arguably the best WR class we've ever had. (Dead Horse Warning!!!)--> The biggest area we missed on this year was Linebacker! Other than LB and QB, we appear to be in very good shape.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Guys. This is what fans do this time of year. Relax. Buuuuuurrrrrrnnnnn! I didn't mean to be insulting. But if we completely disregarded potential in favor of waiting on results, then there would be no need for a recruiting forum. Heck, we'd barely be able to talk about half our football team. Also, endless statistical analysis shows that if we sign many very highly rated recruits then we have a better chance of one or more of them being productive college football players than if we only signed a small number if highly rated recruits or a large number of less highly rated recruits. As for not assessing the overall signing day value of the class until we've at least got the kids' commitments, that is foolproof from a purely pragmatic perspective. But it is not human nature to be purely pragmatic most of the time, particularly in a conversation with nothing riding on it. Not talking about possible outcomes in recruiting would be like buying a lottery ticket and not thinking about how you're going to spend the money before you win (actually, a recruiting conversation is far more frivolous).

I miss seeing your regular posts on the site. You are right about 93% of the time my Friend you are dead on accurate. The other 7% belong to the Doc. I do not see Ole Miss being a force on a continues basis. They will have a 9-3 type of season about every 3-4 years. Look for a drop off next season to around 7-5. I feel very confident about this. My intuition skills have become better and better over the past months. I have a 3rd cousin whose last name is Brown and is a fortune teller and has been on TV for years. She is actually that good and is scary with how accurate she is with telling folks fortune and so forth. She has books about herself and her skills. She is a fine person with Christian values. I cannot nor do not have the right to question her claims. Who knows, I might become a Christian fortune teller and do it for free! I am not nuts whatsoever and probably one of the sanest person alive. Hang on to that 93% and I will gladly take my 7%!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
