Natham King was the writer Brenden Coffey was the Juco OT in the article. He was not #1 Juco he said Auburn was currently his number #1. Sorry like I said I am having a bad day. No worries @AuburnNTexas & I hope your day gets much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's ever been discussed here, but does anyone know what criteria the major recruiting services use to classify QB's as "dual threat" vs. "pro style"? Dual threat to me is Tebow, Cam, Marshal, Watson, Jackson, and not Stidham or Nix even though they are classified as DT. Do they need to go ahead and make that 3rd grouping of Rodgers/Mayfield types who are very mobile and extend plays, but aren't going to be running the ball significant reps? I recently proposed as much myself, but really we should probably just not care how a QB is classified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was your post that got me thinking about it. Once GM demonstrates that he can win championships with any type of QB, I will cease to care how they are classified.

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 So my friend's son, that I have been bragging on for last few years (http://www.hudl.com/profile/7549490/Michael-McNutt) was in AU yesterday and had a great time. He worked hard and turned some heads. They recorded him almost all day doing the drills. Coach Grimes was around him all day giving pointers and talking to him. Apparently they had him going against the JUCO kids most all day. He did good but got beat a few times. He is not a day 1 starter due to lack of good coaching but has the size and desire. Everyone is hoping for an offer but realize that may be just a dream. Anyway, excited for the kid and hoping for the best. Edit: PS My wife wanted to crop the picture because she said it didn't show Micheal's true size. I said but it shows he is in AU. She asked how anyone would possibly know that. ahhhhh some people just don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,093 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 A name to keep an eye on is 3* DT Jaden Hardy. 3 Rivals writers have him picked to AU. Keith & Jason have not said a word on him yet so I will wait til they do before making a profile for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Is this kid a Project for Rodney? Or a hidden gem? I was just looking at his offer list and he doesn't have that impressive of an offer list....Maybe he is another DJ Williams type that flies under the radar. Looks like UT and Vandy have offered, but no real power houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I was looking at the updated OP.....I am kinda starting to worry about our Defensive recruiting. I know we are trending big for some good LBs but we have one single D committed...and he's just a 3*. We have always recruiting WRS very well under Gus and that looks the case again. Our OL recruiting has picked up, but I am concerned here. Looking at other classes they are already loaded on the defensive side of the ball. Any input or should I put my concerns to bed...I have faith in Coach Steel and the Defensive Staff. I would like to see some D commits soon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, this isn't a strong DB class. I would go after a few, but I wouldn't take a flyer on any. We have some good young talent that will progress into the starting roles next year. We can afford a small class this year with the weaker class allowing us to go full out next year in what should be a much better class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which we all know means nothing for a reason to be concerned OK well that makes me feel somewhat better. Yes I know the star rankings don't mean much I trust Coach Steele's evals. Are we that thin at DB? I know we lose Thomas, Dinson, J. Davis after this year and possibly Iffy if he were to show out....what do we have behind them....Smoke, Sherwood, Tutt, McCreary, Jordyn Peters., Zion Puckett, Neamiah Pritchett...that' all I can think of....what about JAylon Simpson and Jashawn Sheffield.....are they going to be DBs or wasn;t one recruited to be WR?

Next year, we have Smoke and Sherwood at safety along with Askew. We are desperately thin at safety just like we were when we signed Smoke and Sherwood. Simpson is a corner and Sheffield was recruited to play WR but could switch back to DB. Starting safeties, Corner, and nickel should be fine next year, but we need to be recruiting for the future.
