AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have a preference of MAR but I like all 4, I want at least one of them in the Fold on early signing day as that will ease some of my fears for this class which revolve around RB's and O-Line.

He’s probably fourth behind MAR, Williams, and Griffin on the staff’s board anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 2 of our top 4 targets will sign early, possibly 3. If we get DJ or Griffin early I would rather wait on MAR in February than take Cain early since we are only taking 2 RBs & we lead with MAR. MAR brings a different RB dimension than the other 3.

I agree with this. MAR seems like a game changer, more so than Cain, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 If we pick up 1 RB on signing day and we have a chance at a second like Cain and we slow play him hoping for MAR and because of that get neither people will complain. We could also slow play Cain and get MAR then coaches look like geniuses. However if we take the second back to be safe and MAR goes someplace else and tears it up people will complain we never get the elite backs. All I am saying is there is a risk/reward factor with either way the coaches play it. The problem is 18 year old's change their minds all the time so there is no sure route to the best choice.

I said that about the slow play because of your comment about you would rather not take Cain and wait on MAR because we currently lead for him. I may have misinterpreted what you meant.

JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Man. I'm usually late to film watching party. But of the offered backs, Noah Cain and Jamious Griffin would be a dangerous One-Two Punch Combo. Griffin has some impressive explosiveness like I've not often seen from an incoming freshman.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Does Auburn plan to any RB or was all of Gus's eggs in one basket with Noah? if so, then Gus eggs on his face. AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams will be interesting to watch today. Seems AU, uga and bama are all confident. Goes where Sanders doesn't with uga and bama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddc 13,194 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 2017 Cain was a top 50 recruit I think, but man he fell off the map in 2018! So maybe we saw something about him we didn’t like as his high school career went forward and that’s one reason we went after others harder.

Zeek 16,650 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 If only we had hired Caddy a little sooner maybe we might have had more of a chance! Still unlikely, I know, but interesting to imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
