[CR 2,426]

Does anyone know if AU is recruiting this LB from Auburn High School? He's quite a player and I havn't heard him mentioned much with AU. Just curious. Thanks.

Yes but he's in the 2019 class & there's not a lot of pub for most 2019 prospects yet.

We need an “Well that’s interesting” emoji or one that’s says “Hhhmm”.

Hope this happens. I still don't get the slow play here but this guy is a player and a great kid.

Agreed. My personal opinion is to give an early contingent offer to any kid in your local area that there might be the slightest idea you may want him at some point.

Just think. If MD hadn't camped at LB for us in June we wouldn't have offered. He mainly plays DE for AHS & was not offered there by AU.

A different perspective and as someone who grew up in Auburn.  The thought of going away to school is really the initial desire. No reason to recruit a kid who wants to leave, atleast not early in the process.  

Give him the space to explore a world outside of AU,  then have him feel the love late,. And fall back in love with Auburn as I did.

Auburn High kids usually want to experience something different. Auburn is all around them all the time and the thought of going out of town for college is a real draw.

I wonder if the kids from Tuscaloosa, Athens, Norman. Austin, Norman, Baton Rouge, Columbus,  Ann Arbor.......etc feel the same way about the towns they are from?

I think they do, by and large. Disclaimer: I haven't looked into it deep enough to bother counting noses.

Maybe but MD was really hurt for a while we were so late to offer related to a number of other teams.

Seems like the only good news I've read so far this morning.

Good.  We need some length at the linebacker spot.  T-Wills linebacker recruiting is like Bowdens running back recruiting.  Talented players but the little man syndrome.

AU wants him at the Buck position.

I thought Hall was the Buck we wanted and MD was able to show he could play in space as a real linebacker at camp and was the reason for the offer.

Weird. He has said OLB in interviews.

Hall & Wooden at the Buck with Wooden potentially growing into a SDE.
