AuburnNTexas 7,146 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 It is early in the recruiting cycle but I like what I have seen so far. On Offense we have an Elite QB in Bo Nix and an Elite WR in George Pickens who are both recruiting strongly we have a GT OT that should help us this year and we have a Center that we are hoping we can develop and prove that we made the right choice. On Defense we have an Elite LB in Pappoe, an Elite CB in Simpson a solid CB in Flott and it appears we will have an elite Safety in Sheffeld very soon. Pappoe like Nix and Pickens will be instrumental in helping us recruit. Not counting the GT of the 6 who have committed so far I feel safe in saying 4 will be starters for Auburn in the future Nix, Pickens, Pappoe, and Simpson as will Sheffeld after he signs with us. The other two will provide depth or become starers just depending on how they develop. On D we probably need 4-5 DB's we have 3 we probably need 3-4 LB's we have one but he is a stud, I want to see dome D-Linemen but we always seem to start slow with them and everybody myself included start doing the woe is me then Garner pulls it off again. On O we probably want 2 QB's we have 1 and he is a stud same at WR, we probably need 1-2 TE/HB, we need 2 RB's and 3-5 O-Line and we have 1. I feel good with our DB recruiting so far especially with Woodson and Brown on the trail, I feel good about LB because T-Will is working and I feel Good about D-Line despite not having any commits as Garner is our recruiter. We actually seem to have our sights set on a couple of elite RB's and we only need 1 more WR. I never feel good about TE/HB recruiting as our recent body of work in utilizing the position hurts us but I am hoping. My one area of concern is in O-Line partly as it is an area of need, Grimes has been an adequate recruiter in the past but not a great Recruiter, and he just came aboard and is late getting started. My big hope is the help we will get in recruiting from our current committed players the quality and leadership skills of these players makes me feel that we could have a great year as they push the Auburn narrative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling the same way here. Looking at our targets and who we're trending with; the interior doesn't look to be getting much help. However, like you mentioned, Garner always seems to handle things on his side. 33 minutes ago, AuburnNTexas said: 3-5 O-Line and we have 1 This is the area we appear to be lagging in right now. WDE noted how we're in a uphill battle with the current group. Not a loaded OL class but I think the ball will start rolling with this as we get later on in the process. RB I believe it has been said that we're only looking at taking 1 unless a stud is interested (Noah Cain or Trey Sanders). We're not leading for any stude back but Derrian Brown would be a fine addition. The herd is pretty full at the position right now and I don't think anyone is leaving early. WR and QB we don't seem too interested in filling any other spots. We don't even have an offer out to any other QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,597 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 @Zeek " We got two studs las year and now OP this year so I would agree with adding maybe 2-3 more (at least one more ideally)." (LB's) Joking aside, any year when we don't sign three quality LB prospects gets no better than a C minus at the position. Injuries, moves to other positions and plain old disappointments at LB make 3 a bare minimum. Right now, we are still feeding off the 5 Muschamp signed. Of those, Holland is gone, Colbert is gone and the rest will be seniors this year. Remember that zero remain from the 2016 class that followed. Three 4* or better will be needed to maintain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe4christ 940 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Do we expect to get any more commits between now and Big Cat Weekend? If so, who do you think is a possibility? Things are shaping up nicely. Hoping BCW will add to the class as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be returning to the US this summer for college visits for our daughter. One stop is AU in August. I think its her top school at this point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youngest is local in a Junior college but has had a couple of scholarship offers to play rugby if he keeps his grades up till fall of 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
