You make me proud Calvin, and I speak for many other Auburn fans across the country. Why is Rivals giving Calvin 4 stars instead of the 5 star rating that is correct? What is it with all of these recruiting services being all over the map with? Some of these services should be shut down for good and never to return.

I will NEVER forget how he talked arden key out of his official visit to us after a fillabuster of a visit at his high school. Stanford class is insane with so little room for error. Stanford has become one of my favorite programs. They churn high quality football teams and do so with tremendous academic requirements. Their entire athletic department is best in class in my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,598 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 So, are we gong to end up four short of filling our annual slots? We are well short of problems with the overall 85 limit. Yet we don't have a place for the state's all-time tackle leader in Johnston or a fine H-back prospect in Lasater? Auburn chronically running below the 85 limit has been hurting us, yet we are going to do it again by choice? A chronic lack of depth at LB has been hurting us, yet we think signing 5 in two years ( that's assuming Taylor signs with us) is enough? There may be some good thinking there but dammed if I understand it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be some good thinking there but dammed if I understand it. Even if we get Taylor I want Johnson and Lassiter (SP.) worse case both play as LB's giving us great depth and also helping us on Special Teams. Best case is one helps Cox at FB and one becomes an LB. We apparently have the scholarships available so why not get quality players and depth. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just giving Stanford & Coach O some respect. Stanford is one of those rare schools who offer both an excellent football program and world class education. Im not slacking on Auburn, but Stanford is a name that everyone automatically associates with academics. Obviously, he would get an excellent education at Auburn if he pursues it. Getting into Stanford, on the other hand, is an accomplishment on its own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Traivon Leonard from 247 Quote Traivon Leonard has seen enough. After officially visiting the Tigers this weekend, the 3-star cornerback commit from West Palm Beach (Fla.) Oxbridge Academy has decided with certainty Auburn is where he wants to spend the next few years. “I’m done with everything,” Leonard told AuburnUndercover.com. “I’m going to Auburn.” According to Leonard, who committed to Auburn on Dec. 12, Florida recently got involved in his recruitment. But after getting to know new Tigers secondary coach Greg Brown and enjoying his time this weekend at Auburn, Leonard said he is all in. “I’m shutting things down,” Leonard said. “I had a great visit.” *** Get free breaking news in the Auburn Undercover newsletter *** Brown and Leonard met one weekend ago when the coach, hired to replace former secondary coach Wesley McGriff, flew to Florida. Last week, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and Tigers assistant Scott Fountain, Leonard’s area recruiter, did an in-home visit with Leonard. Auburn cornerback John Broussard was Leonard’s player-host. For Leonard, this ends a long recruitment that had many twists. He previously was committed to North Carolina and Florida Atlantic. The 6-feet, 188-pound Leonard is the No. 149 recruit in the state of Florida for the 247Sports Composite.

With this being said, Stanford is an elite school and one that is very hard to get in. He must be an excellent student for Stanford to recruit. If he does go to Stanford, I wish him the best and hope he will get a great education. Just stay away from the turds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
