One of the most miserable towns I've ever been to. Has two off brand motels and mine was covered in dry blood and roaches. How they won the bid to host regional that year I'll never know. Only notable fact about that town is that Ted Bundy was executed there. Right down road from Waldo. For those not familiar with this other shitacke hole google is your friend! 301 through this area is like land that time forgot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,093 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 FWIW autigers07 says not looking good here. Says we are behind UNC. Thinks we offer Juwon Gaston soon as a Safety. Much like Balfour Gaston had a great week at the Alabama Mississippi All Star week/game & had a monster season on D & in returning kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,270 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I read an article posted on facebook that i think came from 247 where they interviews Balfour. What he had to say about AU did not give me the warm and fuzzies on him coming here. He said things like things we recruiting was "ok so far" and "Mason seems like an ok guy. That the coaches were "going to recruit me hard.....i've talk to them twice". Nothing there that is the kiss of death but he certainly did not sound overly excited talking about AU.

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Quote Tigers make final 3 for DB target Dontae Balfour ByKEITH NIEBUHR Jan 18, 10:11 AM x Defensive back Dontae Balfour of Starke (Fla.) Bradford County has named a final 3. Not surprisingly, Auburn has made the cut. According to Balfour, who the Tigers offered last fall, Auburn, LSU and North Carolina comprise his top group. Of those three, Auburn was first to offer but the others have come on strong of late. Balfour was close to picking the Tigers and signing in December during the early signing period. But after Auburn fired Coach Gus Malzahn, he pumped the brakes on his recruitment. Now, his plan is to announce a decision Feb. 3 -- National Signing Day. The new Auburn staff appears to like him as much as the old staff. This group also has prioritized him. And, we've learned some at Auburn like the Tigers' chances. Here's what we wrote about Balfour last week ... *** Regarding the new Auburn staff’s recruitment of 3-star defensive back Dontae Balfour, the best phrase to describe the situation might be this: So far, so good. The Tigers offered the 6-feet-2, 170-pound Balfour last Nov. 2. And for weeks things appeared to be trending toward the corner/safety ultimately picking the Tigers during the early signing period. But when Auburn fired Gus Malzahn in December, Balfour pumped the brakes on his recruitment. A couple weeks later, the Tigers hired Bryan Harsin as Malzahn’s successor. Later hires included Derek Mason as defensive coordinator and Zac Etheridge as cornerbacks coach. Many expect Mason to coach the safeties. After talking with Mason for the first time last week, Balfour described him as being a “cool dude.” He now has spoken with Etheridge, a former Auburn defensive back. “I’m just now getting to know him; he seems like a pretty nice dude,” Balfour said. “He said he’s going to recruit me hard. I talked to him twice.” With Auburn having a need in the secondary, Balfour appears to be a priority recruit. Additionally, we expect the Tigers to continue exploring the transfer portal for back-end help. Balfour the No. 84 recruit in the state of Florida for 247Sports, could be in line for one more ratings bumps after having a solid senior season. He finished the 2020 season with 25 catches for 428 yards -- and four interceptions -- one being a 100-yard pick six. He’s a three-sport athlete who also plays basketball and runs track. 1COMMENTS LSU, North Carolina and Penn State are three of his most recent offers. Right now, he seems fairly open to all. “I’m announcing my decision on the 3rd (of Feb.),” Balfour said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,093 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Per Keith Auburn has made this a race with North Carolina. I don’t think some people realize this but if Auburn wins this battle it’s a really nice statement for Mason and Etheridge. Beating a great recruiter like Dre Bly is not an easy task, especially starting from behind on the relationship department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been to my school a couple times over the last couple years and, IMO, he will blossom at AU and become elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
