The problem is that we don't want to take crap just because there's a need. Catch 23. likely can’t take more than two. We have six scholarship OT’s on Scolly right now. And none are seniors.

Not that there's not a need, but there simply aren't that many out there. We'd about have to flip someone to get two. The numbers aren't really critical yet, but we'll have to have some soon. If not this year, then next. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, without trying to denigrate any of the guys we have now, no one has really separated themselves as difference makers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen similar LB numbers and didn't suffer an aneurysm. There are sufficient numbers of OL guys on the team. Opporknockity tunes for those that want to step it up a notch.

You love to bring up the class where we only signed Tre Threat as a disaster. Guess what? Same thing happened last year with the OL. We have at least followed up the Threat flop with extremely good and deep classes of LB. How about OT? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing any benefit or point to reviving a zombie thread, but if that's how you like to spend your Saturday mornings, have a blast! The LB recruiting was weak until Muschamp's class, which is pointed out in the old thread. Then we had an O-fer year, then signed the class with three good prospects. I think anybody that cared would know that. So, what are you trying to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search "Threat" by Mikey and there are a few references to choose. As far as what I'm saying (not trying) goes, the previous LB situation and recruiting is comparable to the current OL recruiting. OL(especially OT) has been weak for a few years. We then go 1-fer in last class. And, instead of following it up with a good class, we sit at 1 OT in this class. Why can't you see the similarities? Yes, we got a grad transfer, just like Dunn the year before. And without Dunn we would have suffered greatly last year just like we would be hurting this year without Driscoll. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we got a grad transfer, just like Dunn the year before. And without Dunn we would have suffered greatly last year just like we would be hurting this year without Driscoll. Before this cycle got started, I looked at what top-level OT prospects might be out there and available to Auburn. I just didn't see any that weren't already locked in to a favorite home-state school or weren't in places we seldom get recruits from. (Michigan, for example) Back then, I could name LB's that were handy to us, even visited and then didn't come here. (Quon Alexander, for example). Which OT's are we missing on that might reasonably be available? If they aren't there, what's your solution? IIRC Hand at least had a shot with a couple last year but that blew up with the coaching change. It's not like we're ignoring the OT situation and ignoring was pretty much what we did with LB for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
