It’s at least 15 for Auburn since 2014 since we started this year with at least 15 scholarship OL. And the plan is 4 to 5 in this class as shown in the original post of the thread. I went back and checked. We enrolled 16 OLs from high school or juco in that timeframe. We also brought in at least three grad transfers so that’s a total of at least 19 in that time frame. I just remembered Darius James transferring in so that’s 20. Edited October 1, 2018 by ellitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of which, while the jucos and GTs were good stop-gaps, they hurt our long-term depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,158 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Most true Freshman are not ready to be SEC starters. Jalil Irvin was highly thought of and should become an SEC starter. Stutts has potential it just depends on how he develops. Look at our current O-Line everybody thought that Ashley was a can't miss might even be a Freshman starter he may still develop then our Grad transfer Driscoll was not rated highly out of HS but has been ok as an SEC starter. O-Line is one of the hardest positions to evaluate as there are so many intangibles. Even if Grimes pulls off a miracle class this year they won't help us for 2 years. The key is to develop who we currently have for next year and that includes Irvin and Stutts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afblue 128 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Don’t know sl36. Just passing along that we had a couple of OL signees for the 2018 class. My impression was that you thought we didn’t have any. I think Driscoll technically is part of the 2018 class at a GT, but I may have that wrong. I’m sure the staff sees potential in these guys or they wouldn’t be on the roster. Time will tell.

I was at tiger walk near the entrance and there were a ton of kids with recruiting badges. Plus the recruit seating was full (before the rain anyway). FWIW most of them weren't high priority targets given the nature of the opponent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
