ellitor 33,101 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Sounds like Coe and Character situation....do we have room for these guys still? And if they don't make it, what happens to their schollys ? Having 3 guys on the margin to qualify.....this is like back in Tubby's day when we had all those good classes except that a handful never showed up. IIRC, they still count toward the 25 limit per year (and could theoretically affect how many guys we can count back towards this class), but won't affect the 85 scholly limit overall There is no theoretical to it. Coe & Character do not affect how many we can count back. They count to the 2016 limit and their IC spots are taken & can not be replaced once they sign regardless if they make it. We can sign 27 right now for 2017. The only way that number drops now is if we get SDj, who has not signed & an undergrad transfer or 2 undergrad transfers.

We have room for them. If they don't make it the schollies likely go to walk on Jrs or Srs or not used. The 85 limit is no concern at all. Bring em all.

And if they don't make it, what happens to their schollys ? Having 3 guys on the margin to qualify.....this is like back in Tubby's day when we had all those good classes except that a handful never showed up. 2 differences: 1) The signing class limits are much different now. (bad for Gus) 2) Our last 2 classes were at 100% enrollment. (good for Gus) Could be a reckoning of accounts, or not. But Gus has done very well in this department. Not that you were bashing him.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Since Stephen has gone back and forth so much, I'd be very shocked if he signs with Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking back to the old Prop 48 days … Times have really changed. Cases like the ones above, I blame the players and their HS coaches for allowing them to get so close to the line . Our Coaches have to take the word of the players about their academic progress so once you are committed to guys like these , it is pretty necessary to stick with them.

War Knight 514 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Surprised to still see this thread. Lots of waiting on a 3 star legacy (a thing that rarely works out well). Counselor is partially to blame as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,101 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Surprised to still see this thread. Lots of waiting on a 3 star legacy (a thing that rarely works out well). Counselor is partially to blame as well. That's if they have a counselor dedicated to knowing the standards of the NCAA clearing house. For example, I have a friend who is the NCAA liasoxn counselor for a big school that produces college athletes on a regular basis. She started the job 2 years ago but does not think everything will be be completely caught up for the athletes at her school til the 2018 class as far as having them on the right track for NCAA standards. The school did not have 1 for her & many don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Think he turns into a great LB for us, he has good coverage skills for a LB prospect. Plus he is tall enough to lock down on TE's in coverage. If he can add bout 15lbs I think we have ourselves a good LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I saw that I looked at his RB film and he looks alright. Granted, the vid was from his junior year (I think) but he looked really skinny. WDE!

ellitor 33,101 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 From Keith Quote -Will start off as a preferred walk-on at Auburn, with a good chance of being put on scholarship in January. Don't know anything more than that. Probably a numbers game -- and he wanted to be at AU, so everyone made it work. Again ... I stress, that is all I know at this time. That means for the time being AU has 23 counting for 2016 not 24 as previously posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,150 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I am super happy I was one of the ones that always thought he would be a great player. I was disappointed when it looked like we had quit recruiting him then happy when it looked like we still wanted him then sad when it looked like he might not come. Now I am happy again. Now I want him to prove that he is his father's son and become another Auburn legend at whatever position he finally ends up at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
