I have always really wanted this kid. He has come to a ton of Auburn games over the years and until when he started playing games I thought was the biggest Auburn lock of this class so I am just a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle ticked off he most likely will not sign with us. O and obviously really talented to. Though TD is far and away the best LB in the state. This is all on Ignont not AU. Get pissed at Ignont. I'm not a Gus fan by any stretch but Gus is doing the right thing here. Ignont could be the next Foster but AU had no choice but to pass on Ignont.

WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Think about this with Ignont. uat is also passing on this kid. Think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 That is sort of amazing if you think about both in-state powerhouses saying thanks but no thanks. Hope he takes the cue, does some self-reflection, and turns out to be a good and mature man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it was very peculiar in my opinion that IMG was playing him at running back and not linebacker when he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaitopher 807 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Is Auburn passing on Ignont like a "well, we didn't really want him anyways" line we get so often when a recruit rejects us or is that truly insider info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not considered head and shoulders ahead of the other Tier 1 Targets by Coach T-WILL and company. Fair enough - just always seemed like he was talked about as one of the top talents out there - just not a very mature guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried like hell to sign him, didn't we? What other kids do they have with bad character flaws? They signed Jonathan Taylor and that didn't work out so well. We signed Elijah Daniel, that didn't work out so well. I don't think we just automatically pass on any kid that isn't spic'n'span. DJ Pettway Rondo RF wasn't a very mature kid either from what I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. AU got tired of his issues months ago. If AU wanted him he would have been committed a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the past with some kids we kept recruiting kids even if they committed to them. why did we stop with benton? Also what the heck happened there? Up until the week of his announcement all we heard was he was all AU. that was a weird one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean other than him implying at his commitment ceremony basically that Auburn coaches could not coach him worth a... He burned serious bridges with Auburn on that.

Why did he say that? Only he knows and to be honest I don't care. My guess though is he said what Bama coaches wanted him to say. The only reason they took him was so we didn't start 2-0 on two highly rated in State linebacker recruits in this class. As it is they are trying hard to get back into the game with TD.

He visited there multiple times even though it was not as many as Auburn. Auburn was just thought to be leading until that last week before he committed to Bama.

It was awhile ago but all I remember he was at big cat with a lot of family left early went to bama and then he was all in on them. Whatever. Like I said earlier Moultry is the best LB in the state by far imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
