ellitor 33,117 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 As for the Auburn and Texas A&M offenses? "I think I fit both," Mond said. "I wouldn't have any preference. I think I fit both. Running the ball isn't going to hurt me or anything else. Running the ball in the Auburn offense or just being a more of a pro quarterback in the Texas A&M offense, I think I can fit both very well." I have a feeling that "being a pro quarterback" will be the Texas A&M selling point that Auburn will have to overcome. Because TAMU runs such a pro style O... Right, and that's why it's just a selling point, but if he thinks they do, what difference does it make what they run? He's 18, but not stupid. He knows the truth about them Maybe but some coaches are professional salesmen. Sumlin is probably a good one & he has taken over Mond's recruitment since he decommitted from Baylor remember.

bigbird 60,597 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I have sat in on one of Sumlin's recruiting pitches. He is very good! He can absolutely sell TAMU. I hope his HS coaches disect both pitches from each school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 FWIW BMatt thinks it's AU. Just a gut feel though. He does not do sunshine much though FTR. I just don't have a good feeling about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,117 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 AU hit a home run on his visit. Truly appears to be a toss up right now. If deciding factor is fit or comfortability w/ staff AU is the choice. If it's distance & networking in Texas after football the choice is TAMU.

AUcivE09 582 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 With absolutely no insight I just feel like TAMU is going to be the pick. They have ZERO QB's and they have the distance thing going for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio state to Auburn v.TAMU and I still feel like the common denominator loses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Would not like to lose Mond to A&M, but I genuinely think we have 2 stronger and tougher young QB's in Queen and Barrett. We just need them to have time in the playbook , on the practice field and not in surgery. I fully expect Georgia to start a Freshman this year; others do it and no one makes a big deal out of it. Plenty of bad plays as well as good plays come out of it, but really couldn't be worse than our last year. Other teams allover the country also start true Freshmen running backs and receivers, with the on-field experience eventually outweighing the bad. There is no reason we could not start a couple of our elite Freshmen receivers like so many other schools do...some close by with extremely positive results. Just my Father's Day rant I suppose. This is a good point. No one has even mentioned the possibility of Woody Barrett, starting quarterback for the 2016 Auburn Tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring injuries there is a slim chance he starts as a true frosh unless he has gotten a lot more p;olished from where he ended high school.

bg5 536 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I think it has been mentioned but in a way that might not bod well for the season. If Barrett wins the job for the opening gain we are in for real trouble not because he doesn't have talent just not enough experience for an SEC team.

Didn't GA freshman have the spring and spring game? Spring is when the reps are spread evenly for a longer period of time when there is an open competition. That is not usually the case in the fall. Reps are at a premium. Woody is down the pecking order for reps in the fall. I am not sure Queen will ever see the field due to the continued are problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I know there are reasons for selecting both schools for Mond. Some think he would like to stay close to home for his parents. But it didnt seem to bother him that he spent his last year in Bradenton, FL which is much farther away from Auburn and ofc San Antonio. So who knows. I am just surprised that Noel Mazzone would be such a determining factor. lol. in 10 years he has been with 5 different teams, including one NFL team and one HS team. I wouldn't say he is a stable coach to learn from. )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's part of the questions the Mond's still have about TAMU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,833 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I also thought it was funny about Noel Mazzone being TAMU's OC. I know he's updated and upgraded his offense but I can't help but think about our 2001 offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austudnt23 1,432 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 If all things were equal AU would definitely be the pick. The only thing A&M has going for them is the distance. I know our coaches are going all in for getting Mond to come to AU. A significant amount of time was spent with KM and his father Friday and Saturday. The coaches stayed talki ng to KM father until late at night. I am going to ask today what the current feeling is on KM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,117 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ausbon eliminated AU today & will choose between TAMU & LSU soon. This is likely a very good indicator Mond will choose TAMU soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
