War to the Eagle 364 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So it sounds like we impressed him during his visit this past weekend. What on offensive line class we would have if we pulled him in! And think about how well we've recruited in the trenches on both sides of the ball in the last two years. Kudos to the staff.

Timeslider 6 269 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's amazing how just one visit to the loveliest village on the plains can change a persons entire view of AU. The school sells itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,154 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I know he is a tackle in HS but are we looking at him as tackle or guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I bet the answer is both. Troxall is seen as a guy that could play inside or outside. If you give me two of those plus one clear OT (Ashley) and one C/G (Brahms), that's a really balanced class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this would be a good one.. maybe it's the way the season went or the recruiting class but this year seems like there hasn't been much to get excited about in recruiting. The offensive line has been made a priority it seems. Would love to pull one from Harbaugh. (Outside of Stidham) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 738 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He should be ours if U and UF are full at OL. I'm not of opinion that we need another OL in this class but you can't turn down a player like Herbert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,107 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Update from SECCountry Quote 4-star OL Kai-Leon Herbert Herbert de-committed from Michigan on Sunday. At the time, it seemed like good news for Auburn, Florida and Miami — the three schools in it to flip Herbert. Auburn OL target Kai-Leon Herbert (Benjamin Wolk/SEC Country) A source close to Herbert told SEC Country on Monday that Auburn is no longer in consideration for Herbert despite how impressed he was by the Tigers on his official visit. It has more to do with the fact that Herbert, from Fort Lauderdale (Fla.), wants to stay in-state. It will be a Miami-Florida fight to the finish. The Hurricanes hosted Herbert last weekend. The Gators get him this weekend. Florida has been the logical trend for a while, though as Herbert said last weekend, the offensive line coach confusion could play a role. Either way, it looks like Auburn is out. If the Tigers can’t score an in-home visit with Herbert this week, an offer could go out to Poutasi Poutasi or another unknown offensive line candidate.
