PoetTiger 1,899 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hopefully we can add a 3rd with McGriff 3rd? All three are #1 elite recruiters. Given programs are on the same level, do you feel McGriff is a better DB recruiter than T-Rob? I don't know enough about recruiting to factually say who is better....but the eyeball test says Trob because of the talent he brought to AU in only one season....

AuburnNTexas 7,150 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Kirbs will struggle w/o the REC doing his dirty work. He will still have good classes, just like Richt. We will still get ours, as long as we have Garner/Craig. You can't let them go anywhere. Having 2 of the Top 5 recruiters, and them being Auburn Men, is something you can't, and won't replace. Hopefully we can add a 3rd with McGriff 3rd? All three are #1 elite recruiters. Yes he is as well...but adding another Auburn coach to the top recruiters list would be impressive. I want both top recruiters and good on the field coaches. I hope McGriff is a good on the field coach because we need it badly. We have had coaches that are good recruiters since 2009. wde He's got to be. The NFL doesn't give a care about how well you can recruit. They only care about coaching ability. You are partially correct since they don't recruit they Draft they don't need to convince kid and family to come to their team. However a good recruiter should be a great judge of talent and be able to find the diamond in the rough. NFL coach looks at a lot of film of college kids to find the diamonds in the lower rounds. So in addition to coaching the players up once they have been drafted and make the team the ability to find some late round players is a key piece of the coaching skill set in the NFL.

Just go to his 247 profile page & look at his all time commitments. Keep in mind he was at Ole Miss only 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in addition to coaching the players up once they have been drafted and make the team the ability to find some late round players is a key piece of the coaching skill set in the NFL. Actually the GM does evaluating and finding players that have potential and that will fit their system. Coaches, especially position coaches, only coach. I think head coaches provide some input to the GM because they need to be on the same page, but otherwise any talent evaluation is above and beyond a position coach's responsibility. And in college isn't the HC and recruiting coordinator the ones in charge of deciding which kids are worthy of a scholarship offer? I don't think the positional guys do any of that -- but I could be wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman 305 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 TRob is a good recruiter mainly in the state of FL, particularly South Florida. McGriff is more of a national recruiter, particularly in the Southeast. In the long run, based on McGriff's NFL experience, he will prove a more valuable asset than TRob. Plus he has more experience recruiting and has already made a name for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bringing him on helps to keep outside influences out of the program, then I'm a huge fan of the move... if not, then I'm in wait and see mode.

gman87 398 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What Kodi may lack in coaching experience he makes up for in leadership and a person of high character. I'm willing to give him a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 His coach seems like a good dude. Agreed...it ought to be required watching for everyone on this Forum ....listen to the coach from about 1:45 onward in particular. The guy understands the difference between HS and college and that players and fans need to temper their expectations for highly rated recruits.

Recruit player threads don't usually get moved to the football forum when players enroll. I know I'm not going through & moving 20+ threads over.
