aujeff11 6,243 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It has now been confirmed by Auburn sources that instate 5*'s Davis, Davidson, and Mack plan to go to LSU this weekend instead of BCW. My mind is blown on how our staff let this happen... It's not something the staff can "let happen" or not. Recruiting is sales and the best car salesman in the world can't stop a potential buyer from going to check out a competing make and model. I don't like it, I'd prefer that every one of them was in love with AU, committed last year and will never take another visit. That's not real life. Big Cat Weekend is nationally recognized as Auburn biggest recruiting weekend. These kids in the state have heard about this for years. This should be something that in-state kids (if they are at ALL interested in Auburn) look forward to & plan for every year. It should be a HUGE event. To not get the 3 biggest recruits in the state to come to this event is incredibly alarming. What's even more alarming is when Auburn fans blow this off. This should be our Friday Night Lights. This should be a Who's Who of recruiting weekends. I would somewhat understand if Alabama had something planned the same weekend, but LSU?!? I seem to remember us having a weekend not called Big Cat Weekend a long time after. This was in the last cycle where we had plenty of high profile guys come to Auburn on some random weekend. Byron Cowart was there along with a plethora of other guys. Big Cat Weekend is a big deal of course but that doesn't mean we can't have another weekend where top talent comes in. I believe we have a very good chance with Davis. That wasn't some random weekend. That was a weekend about three weeks before NSD and all were on an OV. The coaches really rolled out the red carpet for that one particular visit. Also, I would be shocked if we pulled in Davis. He is a bammer legacy and all signs are pointing to Bama. Thanks for the correction man! There's a good chance of Davis coming to Auburn. You can believe what you want. But that's what I've heard. I'm sure you have great info!!

AUbritt 611 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 So, BCW is a total bust, right? Can we all start crying? Time to fire Gus and Boom? I'm hoping no sarcasm indicator is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,228 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Lswho, ugaw, and uat are our biggest thorns in recruiting. I see nothing happening with the turds, but a bad season by either lswho or ugaw or both is entirely possible. I know that we don't like to think that our coaches would negatively recruit against those schools if there is any inkling that the masses and ptb's are not happy with the coaching staffs, but reality is reality. If either school or both has a bad year, the fan base is going to be upset and how far that leads we can only guess. With all that being said, AU may not be in that bad a spot come December. agreed. But let's try to keep the IF so and so has a bad season out of bounds because we all know how that goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,598 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Changing coaches may have a bearing on some recruits, but some disappointing seasons certainly won't. Look at bammer through the Shula years...Look at UGA any of several recent years. They continued to recruit as well as always. Either or both of them could go 5-7 and the effect on their '16 class would be negligible. We need to do a good job at AU and forget what does or doesn't happen elsewhere. Barring a wholesale change in coaching staffs we need not look at others for help, it won't be coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaitopher 807 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Take this with a grain of salt (since the article comes from Bleacher Report), but the latest article says that Julian Rochester will be in attendance at BCW. Please, don't dog me for citing to a bleacher report article - I know how bad they are. It was simply worthy of a mention - nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift 350 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm a little late to the party but just for fun, I pulled up Elijah Holyfield and 247 has him 100% CB to Auburn. Any talk about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone just asked a question on the AUF Big Cat Weekend thread. Does that count? For a while it looked like he was really leaning our way. I think he still is. But we need to be a bit worried if UGA starts to make him a priority. Personally, I hope he goes ahead and pulls the trigger for the good guys very soon.

Any talk about that? No. Crystal ball picks mean nothing other than from the reporters of the teams heavily in the mix for a recruit. Britt is spot on. I will only add that at the moment EH is planning to commit in the Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
