Pedaler 1,001 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 This one time transfer without sitting out a year has come just at the right time for AU. We’re going to need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford 3,655 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 This is unfortunate and a real kick to the groin for AU. But, can you blame this kid? He made a great decision. He and his family are probably thinking long term. They took in all the negative recruiting about Gus/Auburn and probably looked into it themselves. They probably realized that Auburn doesn't churn out OL. Perhaps they noticed AU has only had FIVE OL drafted under Gus and then put two in two together. "Offensive genius and they don't produce great linemen year in and year out, huh?" This has been stated before in other threads, but WHY would you go to Auburn if you're a guard, tackle, or center? Defensive lineman? Hell yeah, they'll get you to the league. Other side of the ball? Not as much. Gus has to go. Auburn can't bring in the talent to seriously compete in the SEC West. That's the reality of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the kid realizes that only 7% of football players make it to the NFL. He's playing the odds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning more towards the opportunity to play in the NFL but I don't know the kid so who knows. Notre Dame is better academically, but regardless of where you go, football opens doors to so many opportunities. Any level headed young man can figure that out once they're in school.

MadtownTiger 363 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 It sucks for us, but he's Catholic, so I imagine the opportunity to play for Notre Dame was something he couldn't pass up. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDE! Are there any good Baptist OL/OT left on our board or that we can flip from USC or UT? Auburn also has other denominations we could recruit, right? We still have that big Methodist church downtime I imagine. -yes I am kidding (maybe, will it get us quality OL?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never be in the running for any kind of championship as long as Malzahn stays. 2 yrs - not a chance until that buyout is palatable. Also, I presume we have lost any chance of a football only facility. Anyone know anything about them breaking ground on that? @ellitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
