TIGGR82 4 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I still would love to have him at Auburn. If he can grow into that frame a bit, his size and athleticism at LBer would be GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Well I hate it that Davis, Jr. turned down an Auburn after giving his commitment to the Tigers a while back. We could have rally used 2 RB's in this class. If not another RB, we sure needed another LB. Threat was our only LB signee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Is there an academic issue with Jr.? Maybe they are waiting for him to clear that up. Would love to have a legacy on the team and hope there will be a spot for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to have a legacy on the team and hope there will be a spot for him. From what's been said earlier and from observing what's going on, it looks like his SAT scores might not be good enough and he'll have to go the JUCO route. Maybe when his latest scores come in that will change but for right now signing him would be a big risk because that slot would be lost should he have to go to JUCO.

Another thing about our recruiting since Gus came back: everybody makes it to classes in the fall. We've had a few get themselves dismissed afterward, but he clearly makes it a priority to sign guys who will at least make it to the starting line. I appreciate that.

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Davis Jr. Did not play any games with the staff. There were and are concerns on qualifying and both sides handled it with respect. I fully anticipate when these issues get handled S. Davis Jr. will be in orange and blue.

WDE He just re-took his SAT if he makes the required score I expect to see him send in an NLI. If he doesn't I believe there is one more SAT he can sign up for in May. Then if he makes score he could just start school in Summer. If he doesn't then Juco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signing period ends sometime in April or early May, I don't recall which at the moment. If he's not signed by then it get's complicated as afar as what year he counts against and other details.

I don't think it's solely SAT score as people are assuming. If that were the case if he were not to get the score he could simply go to prep school for a semester or 2 to prep for the SAT to get a better score. I am hearing juco right now. Remember a raw GPA as in 3.0 does not necessarily suffice. The NCAA requires all prospective student athletes to pass 16 specific classes. 10 of them must be passed before their Sr year starts. The GPA of those courses must be at least a 2.3 to play immediately & 2.0 to get an academic red in year 1 at college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last day to sign is April 1. If SDj were to not sign but start @ AU for example in the 1st Summer term in May he would count in this 2016 IC list. If he were to not sign & start the 2nd Summer term in June or Fall I'm not sure where he would count. I know he could count in 2017 instead then but don't know if he would have to.

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Maybe this sounds crazy, but surely he could walk-on and have his dad pay for his tuition for a year and pick up the scholarship next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
