bammanmr 0 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Good get coach gran!!!!!!!!! Of all of the RBs that were interested in AU, he's the one I thought we had the smallest chance of getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubie16 1 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Awesome... A 4-star QB followed by a 4-star RB the next day! Eddins, Caudle, Tate...this is shaping up to be a great class. The only thing is we need to hang on to him...he is only listed as a soft verbal, as opposed to Caudles 'solid verbal' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger12 46 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Sorry guys, but I don't get excited about comittments, especially when these guys are yet to play their senior year of high school. Way too much can change between now and signing day. These are teenagers that can change their minds very easily or, God forbid, get an injury that will keep them from playing. I really never understood the logic behind these young men "committing" before they play their senior year of high school. What I found even more illogicial is the hype that surrounds it. When these young men put their John Hancock where and when it counts, then I will get just a little excited. I say just "a little" because I don't get too worked up about signing day either. I would rather wait and see whay the kid does on the field at the collegiate level before I get into hype. I guess I live by the old cliche "Don't count your chickens before they are hatched".

TigerinBham 1 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I am really excited about him, but I am gonna wait and see how the recruiting goes. Alot could happen with him. Still a GREAT job by Coach Gran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKieAuburnDoug 1 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 He sounds just like Roderick `Tank' Spivey who played @ BRHS from `96 to `98.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Sanders 123 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I am thinking of subscribing to either Rivals or Scout so I can watch these videos and read the news, etc. Does anybody have a subscription, if you do, is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustemBigBlue 176 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 They offer a 7 day free trial at rivals. You should try that and see for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Keep your fingers crossed on Tate. It's a long way to signing day next Ferruary and he still intends to make official visits to Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Penn St........schools all closer to home. We've been down this route with other super stars to heartbreak hotel. And don't celebrate so loud......BG03 doesn't think it's recruiting season.

kingfish 73 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 A soft verbal, what is that, aren't they all verbals this time of year. Soft doesn't seem to have much backbone. Give me a Caudle verbal. Caudle loves AU, lives in the neighbor, and has always wanted to play for AU. Tate on the other hand can to AU and naturally was impressed by the people and facilities and gave essentially what appears to me to be a maybe. He is not in the same neighborhood and is hundreds of miles away from home and will take other visits. If you get really excited about this kind of early commitment, you will hit many deep bumps in the recruiting road. My impression of the Caudle-type commitment is that this is one you can count on.

PChamp119 96 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yea, it says he is looking at other schools still. This is what confuses me: He graduates in December. I've never heard of a student graduating HS in December and will enroll for spring ball. Is he like wicked smart? Or behind by a semester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know alot of people down here that are athletes that graduated a semester early so they could get down here and start working out with the team. As graduating early or late im not sure. but i would think it would be early bc there is no mention to him being behind on grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTigerKat 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Because he is only 16 right now, I would say he is graduating early as opposed to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 If he does enroll after graduating in December, he AIN'T signing with anyone else. I for one, do get excited about this stuff. Recruiting has now become a year round' business. Yes, I know it's not official until he puts his name on the dotted line and some do change their mind. I would venture a guess that the percentage of those that actually change their minds is quite small, though. We just hear more about some of the big names.

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 "Don't count your chickens before they are hatched". Auw, that's half the fun. Get excited when they're verbals, when they sign, when they have their first good game, when they make all-american. If you wait too long, they're graduating and gone. It sure is fun to look at them eggs that just might hatch...maybe into a war eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
