Not sure why I've seen multiple AU fans think & post this. FSU is & will remain a threat. They are a bigger threat than UGA TBH. Also, & more importantly, we have to win big this season. A commitment from JF doesn't mean much if there is key staff turnover after the season stemming from more mediocre to subpar play because then the commitment would not likely stick & FSU would likely become the winner.

Yeah I remember you telling me that now. Just been so focused on georgia and haven't seen or heard much from fsu. All we've been talking about lately.

augolf1716 21,140 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I predict if we get Fields I say our changes of winning a Natty will be in the 90% range barring injury. Kid is that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was super pumped when I saw Ruben Foster's tat. I guess that turned out bad... good feedback nonetheless, but what else are they gonna say? "He arrived in an Auburn shirt and accidentally called the coach, Coach Chip" by mistake? Nah...he's sharp and playing the field. I think the UGA trip was like him looking off his 2nd option before he scans west and fires a bomb toward Auburn hitting big Nate Craig Myers in full stride!

Beaker 2,457 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I have to laugh as I recount this story... I once took a girl on a date at the beginning of summer and really liked the girl. I was paying for Auburn 100% on my own so money was more than tight (and I was out of state). We were good friends, nothing more. I called her up in July to ask her out again and she was engaged! You never know....I didn't know she was dating some guy and she committed without consulting me. I quit recruiting her or calling her I mean at that point. She was a prob a 4* and I landed 5* afterward and she is still on the team! So things work out. This will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,885 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The 2019 WR commit is WAAAAYYYY less influential than having 2 young 5* QBs already enrolled at uga! AU has plenty of good young WRs for JF to throw to, plus more on the way. That is the least of his concerns, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few snippets of info around that Auburn fans are interpreting as good signs. They might be, or they might just be examples of a family going the extra mile to get all the info they need to make the most informed decision possible. Just playing devil's advocate. I don't know jack about this. Side note: the way his family is participating in his recruitment might somewhat explain why he's evidently got such a good head on his shoulders.

As outsiders we can only speculate. I agree that probably the insiders are hearing what they want to hear. It's like a traffic accident. You may have 4 different witnesses who all saw the same accident but may have a different perspective because they each saw the accident from a different vantage point. Who knows how JF has handled his recruitment. So far, I haven't seen any reports that he is playing anybody (like Joiner did before KN just gave up trying to predict where he would land). It is still odd that so many different teams are so confident - not sure I have seen anything like this before in my 5 years of really following recruiting.
