AUman43 5 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 to any school, including Auburn? I'm sure I've been wondering the same thing as many of the rest of you about WHY we seem to have a highly successful year and yet some of the top athletes from the state and other areas choose other schools. Is it loyalty to Mom and/or Dad's school, a childhood dream of playing for that particular school, their most recent W/L record or a history or winning? i.e. tradition? Influence from coaches or friends? influence from boosters? Television exposure? facilities? Academics? Coaching? National Championship history? Other. What are your thoughts on this?

TitanTiger 22,006 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 All of the above plus some other reasons you probably haven't thought of. And the relative importance of each individual reason varies from kid to kid.

autkidd 0 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Its the same reason why some choose to go to different schools... Why some chose to go to Auburn or some chose to go to UAB, Troy, or so on...

aucanucktiger 1,989 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Get their buddy from H.S. to come to your school, make sure they see your hottest co-eds while visiting, stroke their inflated pigskin ego and (in the South) sell mama on your program Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/39416-what-does-it-take/#findComment-396248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
