If you don't get out there and fight, you are just conceding to the top 5 schools that you will take the crumbs from under table. There's not enough time & resources to fight outside your region & still be in the best possible spot to land the best talent you can in your region. Without winning big you have to choose one or the other & staying on your region hard yields the highest benefits til your team can win big. Yes we have a good brand but it's not an elite brand right now for football & it is a requirement to recruit well nationally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn is one of the biggest name brands out there out of schools who are not blue bloods. But what allows Clemson a school who has less tradition and history than us and is our little brother to recruit nationally so well and go out of their region is because Dabo has had 7 straight 10 win seasons. Auburn is way too bi polar right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Auburn is nationally recognized, unfortunately more for our dysfunction than our success. Back-to-back 10-win seasons anyone? I love Auburn and the potential is there; we have been incredibly successful despite our built in disadvantages. Somehow put it all together with the right guy at the helm and we could have a run that resulted in national brand recognition and an expansive recruiting base. I’m realistic enough to say we are not in that position right now and don’t have the pieces in place to get there in the short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have succeeded in spite of ourselves. If we ever get the hire right?! WATCH OUT!! If Gus can win a sec title and Tubs and Chiz AND FRICKIN BOWDEN can go undefeated?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Just think if we actually hire a really good coach the damage he could do. We are all patiently waiting! lol. We are a sleeping giant.

AUApostle 7,663 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Anyone in the know, or jut outside of the know, care to speculate on who signs with AU on next week's early signing day?

Did they all make it??? @tigerman1186 there were only 2 OVs this weekend, Commits Pappoe & Wooden & they are 100% locked in with AU. The small number & them being locked in with AU is why there was no thread created for OVs for this weekend. Yes both made it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 @AUDevil, judging by that, we could feast on DL and whiff late on OL again. Florida has six OL committed? So jealous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not going to be a great class. It it will be a good one. Still missing OL which is vital. Until we get the big uglies on the OL we will always be behind.

With two tight ends coming in the class and limited spots to bring in new players overall I doubt it. Also since we have had a number of these the past week or 2, for anyone asking about transfers the day they see their name the chances are very low potential Destiination spots come out the same day. Give it some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
