There is plenty to do, running a SEC football team, without micromanaging every aspect of it. This is what he needs to do. Whether he does remains to be seen.

We need to let him know soon if we want him or we could end up with nothing. Or deciding to take a 2nd TE in the class instead which is not nothing.

I very seldom disagree with you as when it comes to recruiting I accept that you know more about it than I do. This late in the recruiting cycle what chance would we have of getting a good TE when we haven't been recruiting one since we signed the JUCO TE. Unless Chip has been recruiting one at AZ and thinks he can convince him to come to Auburn. Do we have a TE target that we honestly would have a chance on now if we decide not to take Lasater?

I can't answer any of that. I'm just telling you Chip prefers TEs to HBs/FBs. I like em both TBH but I'm not the OC last time I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-1 3,821 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Don't know if any of you were referring to me as complaining about who we recruit. I assume some of you were, and I could not really care less. My point is that I hate to see a kid go someplace else that is 6'2" or 3, 233lbs straight out of high school, apparently runs in the 4.5 range, and evidently has a pronounced mean streak on the football field. The SEC has been littered with good athletes over the years that we decided for whatever reason did not fit our plan. Did I complain when Tubs did not offer Phillip Rivers from Athens AL? You betcha I did. All that being said, I hope we have room for this young man. I am well aware it will not be the end of the Auburn program if we don't.

Funny how we had room on the 13th as CGM apparently tried to get an HB/FB commit from TJ. Now on 23rd we don't have room and we haven't picked up a single commit in that time. I think our people need to tell the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDUBB4AU 5,121 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Any chance CL is a back up plan if AU misses on Taylor ? Kid has great film and is just a football player. Would be hell on special teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Still think CCL wants a Lutz or Uzomah, Fulse type guy HB/TE over a Cox type FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDUBB4AU 5,121 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Everyone has an opinion and mine doesn't mean much, but Lassater is already a better player than cox. AU has one kid every year that bites in the ass for not taking them and it will be this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a few people in the Johnston linebacker topic that will argue that he is the kid that this year that will bite us in the ass.

TigerWar 82 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The strange thing is that Lasater said he already knew Lindsey from talking on the phone and being recruited by him while he was at Arizona State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
