An average athlete in D1 is an elite athlete in high school. It's all relative. It's understood that all these kids are elite athletes in HS. But how elite?A lot of these athletes are elite and never make it to Auburn or the SEC. Also when I say someone is "more comparable" that's a relative statement too. If people understood that, the anguish over it would have never existed. 5 hours ago, auburnphan said: Sticking to golf terms jeffy just van de velded it, i think I don't know what you're talking about.

ellitor 33,099 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Quote 4-star WR intrigued by Auburn SAN ANTONIO - Admittedly, 4-star receiver Oliver Martin of Iowa City (Ia.) West Senior is still just getting to know about Auburn, but so far he's intrigued. The Tigers offered a little more than a week ago. He now has talked to receivers coach Kodi Burns a few times and the two are starting to build a relationship. "He seems like a really cool guy, a really knowledgable guy about the position," Martin said. "Seems like he can relate to me a lot because he was not long ago in college playing wide receiver for Auburn. He was on the national championship team." Auburn has one receiver committed and would like to add one to two more in the class. The 6-feet, 188-pound Martin is the No. 11 receiver in the 247Sports rankings. Notre Dame and Iowa are considered the favorites, but Martin said there's a good chance Auburn will get an official visit. What interests him most about the program? What kind of skills would he bring to Auburn? Martin, who has shined all week during U.S. Army All-American Bowl practices, talks about that and more in this video interview from Texas.

Zofko was more of a RB and good receiver out of the backfield. Very good athlete who could do a lot of things well was a good passer as a former QB. I believe KJ would be comparable.

Wasn't as productive as Terry, but was unique for his leaping ability. Supposedly could stand flat footed and jump on to the top of a VW Beetle. Of course, I heard Harvey Glance could stand flat footed and jump entirely over a VW Beetle. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good all around player not great but good enough to make an NFL roster back in the good old days But there was a great pic of him in "Saturdays to Remember", a book I almost memorized as a young AU fan. " Out to practice early" against Bama I believe. I worshipped that era of AU players. Could (still can) talk along word-for-word with Sanders/Yearout on the 17-16 radio call- freaks my kids out, ha!

autan 737 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Not that it matters but ESPN has him at 6'-1, 192 running a 4.57 40. Maybe 247 had junior info or maybe from a different camp? I know its undecided if Martin even visits but It's going to be interesting to see how that 1/20 OV weekend falls into place. Do we have any OVs for 1/13 since dead period will be over? I would think 1/27 weekend hedges on how it shakes out on 1/20. Critical two weeks for Auburn and a lot of programs. Flipping, flopping, hacking, and fake news.
