Paladin 3,305 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 2023 4-star OT Clay Wedin visits Auburn, plans to return Jeffrey Lee•about 1 hour Four-star offensive tackle Clay Wedin on Friday returned to Auburn for an unofficial visit. It was Wedin’s second trip to Auburn. His first came in November for the Iron Bowl. “The visit went really well,” Wedin said. “I was really impressed with everything I saw. We did a tour of the current athletic facilities and saw what they are building and will be finishing up this June for their new facility. I can’t wait to see what that looks like.” Wedin, from Carrollwood Day in Tampa, Fla., arrived in Auburn Friday afternoon and stayed until the evening. During his visit, he met extensively with Auburn offensive line coach Will Friend. “I got to sit down and talk over some technique with him,” Wedin said. “I feel like he is a really good coach and could develop me. Overall, he knows how to develop offensive linemen and get them into the league, and not only get them there, but keep them there.” Wedin impressed with culture at Auburn Wedin also saw first-hand the culture second-year coach Bryan Harsin is building at Auburn. “Culture is also important to me and I’m really impressed with what Coach Harsin is doing,” Wedin said. “He’s still building it, but I’m impressed with what he’s done so far.” Wedin already plans to return for a third trip. “I will most definitely be back to Auburn at some point,” Wedin said. “The campus is beautiful. I really like some of the development I’ve seen from Auburn. “I feel like their offense translates well to the NFL. That’s important to me because the NFL is my goal. It would make it an easier transition for me if I’m blessed enough to get the opportunity.” Wedin is the No. 15 offensive tackle and No. 317 overall recruit in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally-weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Wedin will be at Alabama’s Junior Day on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We had some good players there today and they seemed to like us especially some of the trench types now we need to seal the deal. I hope they all got to see the Auburn OK game and see the JUNGLE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Insiders opinion on our Jr Day. Quote Not good. I liked the prospects that were there, but the lack of instate talent who attended was troublesome. It’s still early so it’s not defcon 1, but I was hoping for a better turnout. Didn't we have our Jr Day the same day as Alabama's. I guess that's why. I never understood why we'd try to compete with them on these types of weekends and also A-Day. It's not about backing down to them, it's just about reading the room and giving us the best chance. Idk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk Didn’t know it was the same day as Bama but just confirmed. That makes no sense to me. And it was the same story with the big recruiting weekend last fall. Just doesn’t seem smart. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever organizes and plans these things for Harsin should be finding a job elsewhere in the AD. Why did Harsin approve this? Or his recruiting coordinator? Baffling to me that our people actually think it's a good idea to go head to head with uat on important recruiting dates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri is beating us in recruiting...MISSOURI! Hopefully we're done with all the changes and can get on firm ground and move forward. We have a lot of work to do on and off the field.

AU North 164 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Going forward from here: AU can look any prospect (high school, junior college, portal) straight in the eye and tell them (with complete honesty) that AU can offer early 'Playing Time'. Hell, the way things are going, they may have to play whether they want to, are ready to, or are physically ready to play. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it depends. If AU scheduled their day after uat, I agree wholeheartedly. On the other hand, if AU scheduled their day first, the argument doesn't hold water. I have no idea what happened, but neither option would surprise me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No back ups what so ever, and no HS Linemen. This is worse than Gus and adding on the optics...ugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
