PChamp119 96 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 sign and place...JUCO bound. Surprise surprise. Does anyone actually plan on enrolling at Auburn this summer? I know DeRon Furr is already enrolled, but geez. It appears every commit the last few weeks is sign and place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,499 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Eric Smith isn't. Neither is Philip Pierre-Louis or Christian Thompson. Nor is T'Sharvan Bell or D'Antoine Hood. That's most of the guys who've committed the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Thompson is an academic question-mark. He isn't a guaranteed non qualifier but he has some work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,499 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Still a far cry from "every commit the last few weeks", even if he doesn't end up qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 We now have the Adams family.....Ken, Darvin and Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PChamp119 96 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Onterrio McCalebb Derrick Lykes Christian Thompson Damion Allen, though I realize he wasn't recent And now Ken Adams. So that is four of the last 8 perhaps. So 50% I don't think is all that great and not too far fetch to say it appears just about everyone is going to not be in Auburn. Then we lost Blair Irvin due to academics it appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The main thing you have to realize here is that we have a limited number of scholarships available. If doing a "Sign and place" doesn't count against your numbers, what's the problem with making a future commitment to these guys and let them develop in JUCO or Prep School?

We can only add 18-20 guys this year based on the number of overall scholly slots available. And in every class you have guys that are borderline that surprise you and miss the ACT score by a point or the GPA by a tenth of a point and have to go to prep school. Why wouldn't you oversign and accept some guys you think will be good players even if they'll likely go to JUCO or prep? It might be different if we had 26-27 slots available due to graduation or something. You'd need almost all of those to be qualifiers (and even then we'd probably still go after 2 or 3 sign and place guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or.....we could be like the Turds and have a guy like CKS Help those players get into the University, hmm? Seriously though, it's not that bad, because if Auburn didn't get the commitment from them, they'd still be going to Juco or Prep....I think it's kinda win win. If they get their act together and concentrate on School and Football they could become a better player for it. Imagine an 18 year old, fresh out of HS who Barely made it through school and somehow did really well on his SAT or ACT, he then gets to Auburn and the academics overwhelms him....He'll not only suffer in the classroom, but also on the field because he'd be worrying about ALL of the homework and studying that he MUST do to stay qualified by the NCAA's standards and the University's standards. So, not only is this kid getting the apparently needed tutoring and, sometimes, a better education, he's also getting to play the game of football at a higher level than high school. And with being committed to a University there is a better chance that said University would be able to Ink him, once he meets the requirements, or he'd feel somewhat obligated to because that University stuck by him. See what I'm saying? Or, am I not making any sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
