creed 1,666 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I want Mr. Echols. Watched his film and he is a bad ass. Quick, fast for a lineman and nasty. Please, Santa get him to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t budge and then late today called the bluff by offering some transfer guys and willing to let Edwin go. Then he hopped on board Yeah, Freeze knows what he is doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine two IOLs that can move like Echols on our offensive line? Edited December 21, 2023 by creed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,892 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 This kid is likely not ready to contribute right away, but his potential is off the charts!!! War Eagle Edwin!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 753 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I'm guessing AU wanted one more HS OL. I was hoping for Echols who seems more ready. But as soon as we got thumbs down from CE, our staff quickly turned to Edwin. In the long run we may be the winners. Who knows right now. WDE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the transfer portal being a thing I don’t think anybody’s the winner at the end of the day. Going after more HS kids is a sound strategy but they can just up and leave too just like anybody so we’ll see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time was when I knew every AU player's jersey number, position and home town. Now with all the coming and going it's not worth learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not better. Worse for fans, better for some players. New reality though, so I’m trying to find something to be able to continue my tradition. It’s difficult but I will!! Also my guess is younger fans enjoy the new reality, older ones hate it. Edited December 23, 2023 by Hank2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slawtiger 35 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Watching the film. This kid cracks me up. He loves to pancake kids and just dove on them for the hell of it. You can tell he is tough. He will need time to develop, but the potential of this kid with huge body and foot work is incredible. I see why folks wanted him, especially Auburn. I continue to be amazed at the talent level of this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ew reality though, so I’m trying to find something to be able to continue my tradition. It’s difficult but I will!! Also my guess is younger fans enjoy the new reality, older ones hate it. I enjoy the added excitement but hate feeling like there won’t be that same attachment to players like there was with the 3 and 4 year guys that a lot of consider Auburn. I mean Cam (IMO) was the greatest/most dominant player I have ever seen but if you blinked you missed his time at AU. So I’m a bit sad that the new norm is probably just a year or two at most and we don’t get to talk about how we could see so and so’s greatness back when he was a freshman. With the way we are recruiting now though I’m going to be able to ignore the sadness a lot easier. 😄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
