We were trying hard to get Reuben Randle. do you remember how realistic it was for us to get randle at the time? I think I recall him and bryce brown being on the same OV weekend that year to AU.

aucanucktiger 1,793 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I remember something about Willie Anderson being a hugely pleasant surprise for us because Bama got Charlie Dare and, at least in the Quad Cities, it was expected Bama would get Willie too - or something like that.

Beaker 2,457 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I can play the I remember game...I remember reading my local paper (Sunday section, Parade Magazine) and seeing hometown boy, Ron Stallworth, the #1 rated player or D player in the country list Auburn as his top choice in '85 or '86. He came to Auburn, but couldn't really play at Coach Dye's level until late in his junior year.

I did not follow as closely then and it surprised me. My general impression was we felt good for a while but became a toss up on NSD. AU had no idea what Lemonier was going to do. Was a surprise.

We've never been surprised by a recruit, because we have Ellitor! He always finds the good info and shares it freely with us. Well, except Pat Miller. Even E was shocked about that one. LOL.

TigerBuc747 1 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Not a huge recruit, but a great guy who turned into a pretty huge asset for the team, Jonathan Wallace was signing with UCF when he woke up on NSD but got the call from Chizik that morning. Ended up starting some games his true freshman year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 One of the earth shattering surprises that didn't happen was when Dee Hart was expected to go to Bama, but nearly showed up at Auburn instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I did not follow as closely as I do now but that was a fun moment for AU at the time. Benton is the only 4+ Star commit I can recall that was literally nowhere on our (the fans') radar prior to NSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
