Plus me and zeek are maaaaaaj Ron Zook fans. I'm really liking it so far lol We've done a really good job finding under-the-radar guys to fill out the 2021 class and the staff seems to be working their butt off in recruiting already in the 2022 class as well. What's really made everything feel better, for me, is the change in approach and social media presence. It's not just the head coach tweeting "Boom!" but assistant coaches are a little more active as well; I also really like they seem to be allowing more access for workout videos and different things of the sort. Honestly, it feels like we're taking a Bruce Pearl public-relations approach and we see how well that has worked out for basketball. My only complaint is coach Harsin tweets "War Eagle!" with a little video/gif. I'll give Gus this, I liked the "Boom!" with the # of ! marks matching the number of commits in a class lol. We've also been tweeting out excitement for kids that are silent commits which is new but I like it. Builds up some tension and interest I suppose. Short answer: Feeling good GWill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie, I absolutely despise the look of their tweets- the fonts, the numerous and inconsistent little catch phrases, the busy gif Harsin uses- but I couldn't be less in tune with what appeals to recruits so it doesn't matter what I think of the look. What matters is exactly what you said. They put forth the impression of a very energetic, engaged, collaborative staff. Need the 2022 class to be special but I like what I'm seeing so far. Etheridge in particular seems to be delivering on the promise of a young, energetic guy who talks the talk. His resume suggests he'll walk the walk. I'm encouraged.

Harsin needs to enhance his bat-signal a little bit. He doesn't have to be exactly like Gus with the number of exclamation points, but there are other ways of doing the same thing. He could use different number jerseys or put more letters in War Eagle. Just throwing out ideas. I did enjoy Gus' Booms!!!!!!-!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like they're working out what they want to do. Did Gus not develop the 'Boom' later on in his coaching time here especially in his social media posts? Did he start off with it and the "!!!" ? Maybe Harsin just needs time to see what works better or stands out when using social media. Also, it could be someone in media coming up w the new signature for Harsin? And over time it will evolve and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 What's funny about Gus and his exclamation points is that I don't think many people even knew that little code until the last year or two. I won't miss that or the "boom" thing. I'm actually quite glad we're past all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,154 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I normally don't think much about Long Snappers. I just expect them to get the job done, but reading up on this young man and he is impressive 6'3" 240 pounds, very strong and runs like a gazelle. You just described an ILB or a TE. No I am not expecting us to have him play another position but I would not be surprised to see him making tackles on punts after snapping the ball back to the Punter in under .70 which is really fast. This is a great pickup and is great for Special teams. War Eagle and welcome to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 738 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If we're offering this kid a full ride it might give us an advantage over our competitors. But maybe this is standard for 6* LS recruits. Is Taylor returning for 2021? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
