fishepa 1,911 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If I was a high profile recruit I'd go to bammer. I mean look at the NFL, they just about have a starting receiver on every team. It especially sucks to lose out on a great player that's a legacy, but it is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford 3,669 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If I had to bet today I’d bet on him going to Alabama but jeez you’re giving CFH almost 2 extra months to work with. Would be foolish to completely rule out Auburn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is completely insane to have when you coached at the likes of Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPTiger 5,194 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 @Leftfield A large class action lawsuit was brought in a small Alabama county against multiple defendants. An old country lawyer was asked whether he hoped he would be asked to represent the plaintiffs or one of the defendants and he replied "boys its just like back in the day when I was playing hardball, the only position I didn't want to play was 'leftout'". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au701948 1,009 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I hope AU spends its time and money on more positive endeavors. Things like insuring we keep our current class together until signed next week and upgrading our other specific areas of need. I’ve seen this dog and pony show before with maybe at least one Bama recruit every year. It’s not worth the anguish for the minimal amount of return. Work hard on our good guys.

JMO This feels like "damned if you do, damned if you don't." This fanbase has (rightly) railed on the Potato Famine for not even recruiting guys like Ryan Williams, Quinshon Judkins, Perry Thompson, Cam Coleman and others, then when the new staff comes in and fights tooth and nail for the biggest prospects out there no matter who they're committed to (flipping several), we're going to criticize the effort? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
