ellitor 33,114 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Any word on why? Were coaches expecting? Did they ask for commitment? 1. Probably parents want to be sure since they've never visited AU & are from Texas. 2. They do at some point. Not sure they were expecting today. 3. Staff is balls to the walls all in on Mon so my guess id they have asked but that's not the issue for the delay. OSU. Edited #1 in my OP to reflect this some. Just saying OSU will have some jumping of the ledge & we don't want that. Here is the amended 1 on why the delay.1. TOSU trying to get him to delay. Bucs are not ready to take him yet & want him to camp in June before they decide if they are all in on him or not. OSU didn't just try to get Mond to hold off, they did get Mond to hold off. I'm told AU is still in the drivers seat but I believe this as much as I believe I win the powerball tonite. Yes but the holding off may not be a permanent before he can camp there thing WDE. He would have to camp to get a commitable tOSU offer. TOSU still has Martell higher on the board & are becoming the favorite for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that - no one wants to be second choice, especially four star high school players that get offers from many of the top colleges in the nation. If Auburn shows him enough love (which they have), then I could still see him committing to Auburn over a highly successful program like OSU.

If they can for sure get him to camp & want to give him a commitable offer after that before he commits somewhere then I agree but part of the reason TOSU really pushed last night or this morning for a delay was Mond told Urban in that convo that when he commits somewhere his recruitment is over period.

Don't think that is what OSU is telling the Mond family. They are telling him they have to evaluate him more before they would be ready to take him. Most can read between the lines on that. Also OSU sources are saying Tate is their #1 target & some on their staff are not high on Mond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Look I like Gatewood just as much as anybody, but he has a chance at being a bust like most QB's do.
