milehighfan 1,240 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I read with Hill transferring, the four top rated signees from the 2018 class are or will be gone. Why, at this time, would any top rated recruit come to Auburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure your source, but I'm seeing 500 plus for him on 3 different sites. What I'm seeing translates to 919 yards over 13 games. My whole point is that I wasnt sure that was worth a tweet with a pinocchio nose towards the coaches. I seriously doubt it was that looking at all the factors. Schwartz seems like a great kid to me.

milehighfan 1,240 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I remember the search committee saying they wanted to hit a home run with the hire which brought us Gus, the talking mule, (or jackass), be however you want to view it. I think hiring Gus qualifies as having reached on an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, they hadn't updated their site with anyone else's stats, either, so Schwartz still isn't doing big things relative to the rest of the sport. And I maintain that our wide receivers probably expected a lot more for themselves out of this season. (Like most everyone else- imagine how the TEs feel!)

Gus has been able to accumulate weapons, but he has no idea how to maximize them or use them with his other weapons at the same time. The bus will never run correctly again. He’s losing the team and he has had no solutions since his 2nd year. The next few years are going to be very very bad, because talent is not going to be committing here, because the staff does not know how to maximize it. I will always be an AU fan, but I do have better more important things to do than continue to waste 3.5 hours on a Saturday to watch poorly coached uninspired football. This is just the beginning of a huge mess I’m afraid. Then again, that seems to be the Auburn mantra. MEDIOCRITY or worse at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a roller coaster for the last 6 yrs, then a slow and steady decline and now with the embarrassing losses to the piss poor '21 recruiting class and the loss of another one of he top 4 players from the '18 class it looks like a snowball building rapidly.

AuburnNTexas 7,198 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 We needed more speed at Safety this season. Smoke hits like a ton of bricks but does not have the speed or instincts to be a good cover Safety. Smoke skills would be top notch against a running team but when a team has as many speedy receivers as bama he is over matched. I would have liked to see us trying Hill at Safety he has the required speed to be a cover Safety. Now he is gone. As for Schwartz we used a WR with world class speed and very good hands and who is not real big as a position receiver instead of taking advantage of his hands. The passes we threw to him were usually short and where multiple people could hit him after the catch. He plays hard but is not used properly probably because Bo couldn't consistently take advantage of his skill set. Slants behind LB and in front of safety where he catches ball in stride would allow him the opportunity to go to the house similar to bama receivers on similar routes. These type slants don't take long easing burden on O-Line. With the receivers we have these should have been bread and butter plays for us that would also open up TE's for short possession type passes if LB drops to take away quick slant or blitz's.

He should be having that Percy Harvin effect. Any other team in the country and he would be getting at least 3-4 deep balls every game.

If Jimbo beats us this weekend that will be yet another SEC team that's passed us by. Luke Fickell or Matt Campbell could get this turned around but it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerman1186 537 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 For Hill, knew it was a matter of time...I was watching the Iron Bowl from 2019 and he was returning kick-offs and catching passes....don't how much he played on Saturday, but his 'role' had definitely been cut....Detroit Tigers fans say with all the guys they've traded or left, they could compete for a world series...I kinda believe the same can be said about the players that have left Auburn; we could compete for the title...

Because all of Auburn's transfers have done so well elsewhere? The last big meltdown here was Joey Gatewood. At Kentucky he's 17/35 for 109 yards, one interception, 0 TD's, five sacks and a QB rating of 69.0 Before that, Asa Martin leaving was the big heartburn. Martin was running 5th string when he left AU. After a spring at Miami where he was again running 5th string there, he transferred to Memphis, sat out a year and has now moved all the way up to 4th string RB at Memphis. These guys usually look elsewhere because they aren't good enough to play here. Across the country, the transfer portal floors are littered with former 4* recruits who have turned into 1* college players. I do wish those who transfer out well, but so far it looks like their leaving has benefited both parties in that AU has an open scholarship slot and the player may end up at a place where he has opposition he can compete against.

You left out the guys that were successful.....I know probably by accident. Easy to bring up JG but not talk about mw. As far as good for both parties that will always be the case. If they are good when they leave you say it's because they aren't here and if they are bad you say they couldn't compete here. It's a win/win argument you keep trying to push.

This is legitimately a question because I don’t know. Has Malik Willis played any teams that are any good? As an aside, it looks like Woody Barrett is transferring again today.
