2016 4* Buck DE/LB Antonneous Clayton (Florida commit)

[JFDTiger80 790]

Still think we could flip him, also the FSU DE commit is a potential flip here pretty soon. Nick Coe still on our radar as well.

Hurts to lose a player of this caliber in a position of need. I think Florida simply outrecruited us by going all in ans devoting all their time and attention on him.

Yep, I think we have to realize this year our DL recruiting is really terrible. We have to ask, what the heck is Gardner doing. If, as WDE says, he needs to add weight and would not be ready for a few years, then we should have many, many other options open to us with kids that have close to the right body weight now. It's not like there aren't any other DL line recruits anywhere.

I think we end up getting Antwuan Jackson and/or Derrick Brown, which would give us two five stars on the Dline, assuming MD sticks with his commitment. But we need more than one elite DT to have a good Dline... See e.g. Montravius Adams.

Going to get Marshall also. But I'm told he needs a redshirt year.

Hopefully we don't let him commit again until NSD.

I thought this guy was supposed to be a project from the start? If CWM decides he needs guys that can play now (and we will next year badly) then letting go and getting more ready players makes sense. Now we just need the other players (that are likely signing day guys).

Not really a project but a guy who needs a couple of years.

[gman87 398]

OK, for some reason I had him and Tega in the same situation.

He only weighs 215. Small for a linebacker, even smaller for a buck.

I'm told he isn't a guy who could help in the next few years. Needs to add lots of weight. FWIW. And the UF writer was right. CWM had not contacted him in a while. So I was told.

If Muschamp backed off, I'm good.

I don't think we ever backed off. We simply couldnt keep up with Florida's 24/7 recruitment of him. I don't blame the coaches for not having the time to give him a wake up call every morning and sing him to sleep at night.

Dee Ford was 6'2 190 coming out of high school. I'm glad we didn't pass on him.

Some people said that about Arden key too....

[cole256 17,074]

Who give a flying @&&$ if he may have to wait a year or two? We'll need him then. As if we have so much talent that we can turn down big time guys.....And what prospect that can contribute now did we decide to go after instead????

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Garner is not living up to the hype that we thought he'd bring home to Auburn after spending 10 years with Ga. He needs to go and Muschamp must bring in a DL coach/top recruiter for next year.

Those are good questions. We have 25 open slots, I don't see the traffic jam that would cause us to back off a good prospect, year or two away or not.

[Potatooooooes!! 1,375]

So who's our head recruiting coordinator again?

Glad I'm not completely crazy, I mean we put a safety at d end for crying out loud

[AUApostle 7,651]

So why are we still after Marshall and not Clayton? They both need time...does Marshall need less time? Is he the easier get?

Oh, you're completely crazy. Don't let Mikey telling you that you asked some good questions convince you you're not.

They're still after me.

2 years before A. Clayton would see playing time but given the current state of the defense he may start.

And if that happens...well you know the outcome

[WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737]

Steele and Rodney set to visit Clayton tomorrow. Nice to get back in this picture. Kid is damn good.

[CameronCrazy 1,061]

This would be huge! I've wanted this kid from the beginning
