ellitor 33,114 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 OVed AU June 10-12 & called the trip unbelievable 14 Power Conference offers including AU Info from Keith Link Right now, the word is the Tigers will take only ONE tight end in this class. The two top targets appears to be Jeremy Patton and Tre' McKitty. Both like Auburn an awful lot. Who is higher on the board? That we can't answer right now.

ellitor 33,114 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 It could be 1st come, 1st serve w/ Patton & McKitty. Reminder McKitty said after BCW he planned to commit at The Opening in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 McKitty seemed just as impressed with Oregon after his recent visit. Neither AU or UO would surprise me next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 We're still chasing MSU for that title (their current class), and I'm sure KState would wonder how it ever lost that title. Currently, I'd say we're bending more toward Auburn's historical norm (1-3 JUCO signees per class). Since 2005, which I picked because it provides 3 Tubby classes, 4 Chizik classes, and 4 Malzahn classes, we've had three outliers on both the high and low ends. Years with between 1-3 JUCO signees: 2005 (Rodriguez, Wilhite); 2006 (Smith); 2008 (Gray, Todd); 2009 (Freeman, Washington, Fairley); 2015 (Robinson, Smith, Swain); 2016 (James, Franklin) Years with zero JUCO signees: 2007, 2011, 2012 Years with more than 3 JUCO signees: 2010 (Newton, Gaydon, Mosley, Bonomolo); 2013 (Bradley, Marshall, Artis-Payne, Flowers, Danzey, King); 2014 (Williams, Lambert, Moncrief, Lawrence, Turner, Dampeer) Seems like this class is more than likely to fall in the 1-3 range. But, yeah, no question that on two occasions we rebuilt the program through junior colleges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Has everything to do with staff turnover. Kids come and go as staffs do. Each new staff needs immediate help in any areas they deem deficient. This has been the root of our D problems under Malzahn. As said many times, continuity is the the only way to change this.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Patton looks good. I think he needs to put on about 20 pounds to play in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaitopher 807 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Patton looks good. I think he needs to put on about 20 pounds to play in the SEC. Neuhbur refers to him as more of a Uzomah type TE than a blocking TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,084 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 But he was a monster catching and running routes.....And we didn't throw him the ball except in the redzone when we lined him up at wr and everybody in the South East knew we were about to throw to him....

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Maybe we should try to get Patton to commit since McKitty seems to like Oregon a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Committed to Arky. KN seems to think we are in good shape with McKitty. He's more optimistic than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between us & Oregon we are the only school that has an on campus aviation program which is what he wants to major in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
