AUApostle 7,651 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Peyton Barber having some success in the NFL makes our staff look worse. Got an NFL talent at RB and can't get the guy drafted even though he rushes for 1k yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGA feels we lead for DJ but Bama offering if they miss on Sanders is a legit concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything like that reported by Bama reporters. All I've seen is they could offer DJ if they miss on Sanders which it looks like they will. I heard they’re going after DJ if miss on Sanders. If miss on DJ, going after Deondrick Glass . AKA Bama is prioritizing DJ over a 4* composite Deondric Glass. Makes me more excited about Go DJ.

Sony, Ingram, Chubb, and even Kenyan Drake. In the same time period we have CAP who doesn't play much, Corey Grant who doesn't play much, KJ who is having a decent year, and Mason who had 1 decent year. Our ability to put RB's in the NFL and excel ended 14 years ago with Caddy and Ronnie. Outside of Auburn nobody nationally knows who Ben Tate and Peyton Barber are. When it comes to the NFL our numbers are horrid compared to our rivals at the RB position. LSU is much better than us. Here is what kids see Since the 2005 Draft Bama- 10 RB's drafted. Out of those 2-1st, 3- 2nd UGA- 6 Drafted. 3-1st and 1-2nd LSU- Since 2010 8 RB's drafted Auburn- 5 drafted 3-2nd ( Ben Tate, Kenny Irons, KJ ) That is 5 RB's drafted from Auburn in 15 years and due to injury or bad luck KJ is the only one any kid would know about.

Just a guess since I don’t follow their recruiting. That is actually not a good thing IMO since the turds will then offer DJ. I think they are a bigger threat. I wish he would look at our depth at RB. He could be the MAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 @NorthGATiger, yes, really. I don't think anyone on Earth thinks of Kenyon Drake as a marquee player. Chubb and Michel are having nice years. Kerryon was unquestionably outpacing both of them, but those are all starting caliber players. It's not a point worth debating, but personally, I wouldn't think of any of them as marquee players either. Fournette has had a bigger year and is a bigger name. He fits the bill but needs to bounce back quickly or folks will forget him. Gurley and Henry (based on a Heisman, draft position, and recent explosion) fit the bill. The question was not "who has quality RBs in the league?"; the question was marquee players. I think that's a pretty short list for RBs. Gurley, Zeke, Kamara, Adrian Peterson, probably Barkley and McCaffrey. I wouldn't include Mixon and he's fourth in the league rushing, but he's a middle round draft pick with one big year. That's not a marquee player. In any event, I don't agree with your breakdown because you're trying to have cake and eat it too. If we're talking about who kids know, kids know Peyton Barber and Kerryon Johnson. Kids know NFL starters. Period. Kids don't know who the hell Quinn Johnson and Charles Scott are (two of the ten you're listing to demonstrate how great LSU is). Heck, I don't think kids know who Alfred Blue is, and he's still in the NFL. There is no question that LSU and Bama and UGA have put more successful RBs in the NFL recently, but I don't think that's playing into DJ Williams' decision. I think we land him, and I don't think we're running second to anyone here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,671 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 @Tiger what do you know about this dude? He seems to be in a lot more demand than Noah Cain who is the glitzier prospect from a star ranking perspective. I realized finally I need to care about crutin again because I want us to recruit as good as we can this year so the new coach this time next year has a lot of talent to work with! lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about him but an old friend of mine lives in Boone, NC (where App State is) and the vibe out there is that they're hoping like hell to keep this dude in the fold. They're not feeling too confident with the coaching change they just went through but I mean not that they should be considering how he's blown up. Let's see what happens in a few hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
