If we get the 5 star OL could he start next year?

@sevenlee36 TBD

He looks good enough but I doubt he’ll start at LT he’s have to be RT. Which mean Bro Hamm would be LT

By all accounts Bro-Hamm ain't moving. If we land Jones it will be a 2 man race between him (or a Grad Transfer should we miss on Jones) & Trox at LT at minimum & maybe 3 depending How Zierer does in Fall camp if he is healthy as expected by then.

My hope is that Grimes throws out seniority and plays the best 5. 

Not sure Gus will give him that option unless it's a good ways into the season a la Kim & Brahms after the LSU C debackle.

How is this relevant?

We compete for Georgia talent generally Georgia Tech isn’t great at recruiting but if Georgia schools can lock down Georgia players it can impact Auburn I suppose

My apologies. I thought you were being a smart ass. I deleted my post.

Good to see you’re making your yearly visit to the recruiting forum 

Oh, my bad. Next time, I’ll check with you first.

Meanwhile, our SEC network has Auburn number five in the country, in recruiting!

I heard on the radio they had a good class I think their HC is going to do good recruiting he just is in a situation where he is changing a triple option offense to a traditional offense which will take time so he will lose games for awhile but he’s probably going to be a better coach then most think at this point.

I don't claim to be but for the most part as this pertains to college & high school football recruiting I know a hell of a lot of stuff about this. More than most recruiting reporters who get paid to cover recruiting TBH. Yet when I reply to you & give you evidence for my reasoning on things you still question my knowledge on things. I appreciate you have experiences in the business world. However in many cases that doesn't apply to the recruiting world often times.

Most people don’t understand how recruiting works.  Sometimes something can be objectively true one day and completely false the next day.  A lot of it depends on a teenagers emotions.  If a kid changes his mind, it’s not @ellitor’s fault.  You’re just reporting info.  And doing a dang good job of it, free of charge.   We are very grateful!!!

Forget to mention Romello is an EE.

Why was this deleted? This is the recruiting thread and this is our head coach at his press conference, for our 2020 recruiting class.

As I mentioned before, love the way Gus continually talks about the athletes GPA’s and the strong families they come from. Gus discusses how these are good quality kids coming in!

I mean, maybe we should just start using it interchangeably? 😅

Throw in "at" Auburn for more confusion.

Or go for the ultimate "fake college" sounding name... The University of Auburn University at Auburn

Got the perfect athletes for it!  How many could we flip?

Late to the ESD Party...thank you all for your hard work and a 2ndGradeChristmasPartyEve humor injection!

Ah man, I forget how underrated Quackadilly Blip was. Solid route runner just overshadowed by time...

@AU-24 It wasn't deleted. It was merged into this thread just as your 2nd posting of it. There is no need for a separate thread for the presser given nobody was commenting in the separate presser threads. I will include the presser in the OP tonight or tomorrow. Here is your other post on it in this thread FWIW...

First of all, you said you were tired and going to get some rest. So why are you back on here? You’re back on here, because you have no other life!

The head coach, of the number five recruiting class in the country, gives a press conference on national signing day, and it doesn’t deserve its own thread?

The hatred some of you have for a head coach, that is about to have a 10 win season, with a teenage freshman quarterback, playing one of the toughest schedules in the country, is sad and pathetic!

Yes & I said I may be back on tonight which I am after taking a nap.

@AU-24 There is not hatred involved with Gus on where the presser posts where placed. They were moved to this thread because this thread is everything NSD related and the presser is obviously NSD related.

Lastly, check my profile out. I'm a mod now which means I will not stand for your being disrespectful to me or the position anymore, especially from someone who is always getting himself in trouble around here. I don't have Titan's amazing patience so if you disrespect me or the Mod-ship again you will be given a time out. Now grow up & start treating people with respect.

How sad do you have to be to take personal shots at people you don’t know on a message board. E wasn’t even rude to you but you chose to get personal, like an incompetent child. @ellitor doesn’t deserve that. Grow up.

No one in this thread has hated in Gus Malzahn. Even the ones who dislike him have given credit to him for putting together a stellar class. 
 

Again, grow up. Stop grasping at straws to start drama.   

[ClaytonAU 4,606]

@ellitor we said the same thing at the same time! Always looking out for you brother. 

[ellitor 33,093]

Sorry for the derailment. Gus's NSD presser has been added to the OP.

Speaking strictly on the Clayton-Mikey conversation it metaphorically feels like a wrestling fight that stated in the locker rom but spilled out into the ring.

Just waiting on an explanation on how our long snapper, Bill Taylor, is an offensive lineman... conveniently my question never got answered though.

I didn't think anyone over the age of three would need an explanation, but since you do: Turn on the TV and watch a football game. Wait for a punt play. See the center, the one in the middle of the offensive line? He's the deep snapper. He plays on the offensive line. That makes him an offensive lineman. Now, go find a game or tape to watch and all should be revealed to you.

Does putting a cornerback on the end of a field goal block unit make him a defensive end?
