We are still trying to take another CB, just one from high school. Looks like the staff doesn't see the need for another juco CB in the class. Eric Reed has become a priority & AU is still in the thick of it. Long term Reed would be a better option especially if Iggy returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to do that to you @Mikey Hopefully E will have good news to share this morning on the situation. I found one thread about it on a free UT site and it seemed to be about his wanting to take part in the February signing day at his high school so him and his teammates could all have their day together. Again, that was one reference from a free UT site. Hopefully he will go ahead and sign tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburntiger1987 759 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 AUSports Rundown Podcast too had talked about it. J.Lee stated Au was cautiously optimistic he would still sign tomorrow while UT has been putting the full court press on Hardy to hear them out and sign in Feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDraper 54 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 What do we do IF these guys want in: Flax, Pegues, Walker, Height, Reed. Then have Jones and McKinnley for the late period. Would be crazy to land them all just thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,094 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just now, Beaker said: so we may lose Flax and Hardy? Yes & unlikely. Hardy has always waited to wait & sign in February with his teammates. It's not a reflection of his AU commitment. 2 minutes ago, Beaker said: what am I missing? What do you mean?

Gowebb11 9,328 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Stinks on Flax if we miss. Huge position of need and we get the JUCOs who arrive in the summer, are coming off surgery, and have serious grade issues. Kentucky gets the healthy early enrollee with 3 to play 3. Not exactly optimal from a planning standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is UK had at least a 6 week head start & likely longer. They likely have quite a bit better relationship with him & his family. Also UK is within driving distance for his parents, AU is not.

But we’re about to put our LT in the NFL, beat Bama, and contend for titles. UK is a perennial SEC East average team. We should be able to win this kind of battle. And if we are going to keep pace with our rivals, we need to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Flax is good like we think he is then why in the world did we not even approach the guy until a short while ago? I understand Buskey and the injury to Z but I swear its as if every year this staff zeroes in on a small portion, waits until that small sample size does not work on early signing day, and then throws a huge net to try to get anyone to come. If Flax is worthy of a scholly then he should have been approached in August. There is no defending what this staff has done as far as OL recruiting.
