Beaker 2,457 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Which is better? (yes slow week) Remember White who led SEC in several categories before Vandy game, White, Stidham, FIELDS, Nix or Lionel James, Bo Jackson, Brent Fullwood, Stacy Danley ? I know...it's all about the "what if" factor. For those that don't know, these RB were the starters in consecutive years. It's all about consecutive starters and possible multi-year runs. I think FIELDS has the unique opportunity to become legendary at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't all that long ago when Cyrus what's his name announced on live TV he was signing with Auburn. Anybody remember how that worked out?

Mikey 16,601 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I just hope Gatewood doesn't read all this stuff that, seemingly at least, has already put him on the back burner to Fields before he gets sent to 3rd string behind Fields and Nix. Bird in the hand and alla' that. Recruiting, to fans at least, has become a chase after the newest bright shiny toy and just forget what's already in the toy box. We may end up spending three years being very glad that we signed Willis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recruiting philosophy at LB, if one wants to dignify it as such, is to sign a minimum of three solid prospects per year. Getting a commitment from one and then ignoring him or stating publicly that he'll be beaten out by a hotter prospect is no way to get three or four. Ignoring Gatewood is what I was warning about.

toddc 13,194 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Some on the board might be ignoring or having low expectations of JG, but I'll bet our coaches aren't. This kid is a big get in this recruiting cycle imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have watched JG film so much...I hope he can bridge the gap as a QB. I watch his film and just see a freakishly talented open field threat. If you haven't seen his film this week, watch it - HE IS A HUGE COMMITMENT!! I just see him catching the ball and scoring as a 6'4" BEAST as he trucks and drags DBs like rag dolls. I also love how he helps recruit other players!!! I think he will become a great Auburn man. Til signing day, I dream of the optimal stuff...I am a 51 yr old with the imagination of a 12 yr old. Is it time for ice cream? "It's Fields to Gatewood for 46 yards! Touchdowwwwwn Auburn! That makes it Auburn 49 and the dogs 7, going into half." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no JG is not worried any player that has competitiveness is not going to shy away from a commitment when the team signs another qb in the same class. Now if we signed JF last ye at and he balled out for us this year maybe but they will be equal when they arrive. JG needs to be developed. JF like I have said before would be the biggest get this decade imo. Now Cam is the best player ever so I am not saying he is better than Cam.

Beaker 2,457 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Auburn is creating tons of depth at the skill positions and we have a QB guru coach who can organize an offense. Auburn IS SURGING! A HS player can come here and write his own script. Cam did it in an excellerated fashion, Nick M did awesome and nobody wanted him at QB; now J Stidham is poised to do the same. Look at our receiving corps....stacked! Heck, some of the posters on this board could probably look good in this offense. (Ok, maybe I went too far there) The defensive coaches have recruited lights out and we have master developers on that side of the ball. Top 5 defense last year and we just reloaded. It's a great time to join the family....Our future is so bright, I got to wear shades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,093 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Quote Sunday's top performers from The Opening: Southeast Five-star quarterback Justin Fields shined Sunday — along with several other prospects from the Southeast. Keith Niebuhr BEAVERTON, Ore. — Sunday’s action at The Opening Finals featured the OL/DL challenge, hours of Nike 7on7 pool play and the first round of the Nike 7on7 Championship Tournament at night. This year, we’re breaking down our prospect reports by region instead of 7on7 team. Here’s who caught our eye today from the Southeast. Alpha Dog Quarterback Justin Fields. (Photo: Andrew Ivins, 247Sports) Justin Fields (Kennesaw, GA/Harrison) — The 5-star recruit didn’t disappoint. He wasn’t just the most productive quarterback Sunday, he arguably was the top overall performer regardless of position. Fields carved up opposing defenses with precision throws, found open men all over the field, completed every type of pass and consistently moved his team down the field. His throws were accurate and crisp. More than anything, Fields was efficient. When all was said and done, he completed 27 of 35 passes for four touchdowns and no interceptions on eight drives.

My hope is that we begin a dominant run this year and start winning at such a high rate that 4 and 5 stars are willing to come in and wait their turn for college championships and NFL dollars. I'm tired of guys favoring us because of a favorable depth chart. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be negative but I'm not drinking the koolaid just yet. After the JJ Show flop from a couple of seasons ago, this team and the coaches are going to have to show me before I'll believe anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last post regarding J Fields choosing Auburn: When was our future brighter: 2009 or now? Not even close...And in 2009 Cam chose Auburn. Heisman and Natl Championship followed....But our future is brighter NOW vs. 2009. Now Jason Stidham could've gone anywhere, he chose Auburn in 2016. Since then, we have upgraded receiving corps and our OC/QB coach! Which is better the team in Dec 2016 or now? NOW!!! Heck - Look at what Gus did in 2013 with a DB at QB...I love Nick Marshall and his contribution. Time is NOW for Ross and Fields AND GATEWOOD for many reasons. WDE!
