AU Cav 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Scout has an article up about Scott saying he has three favorites now... judging by his bio sheet it looks like Auburn, South Carolina, and Ole' Miss with medium interest. They show South Florida as low interest. What gives? Does anyone have a clear idea what he's thinking and where the Auburn staff stands on him right now?

metafour 4,969 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 He is no longer committed to Auburn and he's not coming back IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmnstr 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 latest news i'd read said he was seriously considering maintaining his commitment. we'd lose him to a UF offer for sure, but i'm pretty sure the only other school he has serious interest in is USF.

autiger4life 3 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I apologize. I did not mean it in a sense of, "if he don't know then I don't want him". I meant it more as an assumption that he wasn't going to stay and I would rather open up the spot and not have recruits decide not to come based on the fact that we have a great back already. I would absolutely love it if he stayed. I just keep getting info that he isn't so I would rather he just go ahead and decommit so we can open up the other spot.

The coaches haven't counted Scott as a commitment for a while now, hence why the AU Scout site removed Scott a long time ago. IMO the guys at the AU Rivals site are keeping Scott as a "soft verbal" because he is one of the most highly rated guys we have committed so far.

Scott has been carrying out his recruitment in the fashion that a guy who is currently not committed to any school would, and we've done the same thing. The guys at Rivals obviously dont want to drop him because of his star rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autiger4life 3 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 That makes sense. Since we are listed in his favorites, what do you think are our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd 3 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 If you read his quotes...he's scared of the offense. He's worried about getting the ball in his hands in this offense. That's why he likes South Carolina...the run the I...according to him. SO we are getting hit hard by other teams recruiting against the spread. It might take a yr or so of this offense making some running back look good before we can get another top tier running back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiescottie 1 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 He probably wants to go to auburn, but at the same time is looking out for #1 (which he should) He'll make his decision once he sees the offense. If he thinks he'll get the touches, he'll go our way, if not he'll check out other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the offense is unsuccessful for our running backs, we will have much more important problems than Scott going somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the coaches given up on Scott, or is that another opinion? I'd like to know where you get off saying that the coaches aren't counting Scott as a commitment anymore. I know for a fact that his picture is still on the bulletin board of commitments in the recruiting office, so obviously somebody in the department thinks he's committed.

Fmnstr 0 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 metafour, how do you feel about the fact that the rivals guys are now starting to say that the coaches are getting very good vibes about scott sticking with us? if your info is so solid, how can this be so? just admit you're getting info from the guy at the checkout counter at big lots and let the analysts handle it. i'm just picking on you, but the kid is committed to auburn, whether you want to assert that he is or not. we have plenty of kids taking officials other places that are committed to us, and there are kids committed to other schools taking officials to auburn. there's no way to blame them for that. he's said he feels like he made a hasty decision, but the fact that he hasn't backed out on it fully is good news for auburn. i have a good feeling about the kid.

TexasTiger 12,947 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 He's not a big guy. His ticket to the NFL involves being able to catch the ball out of the backfield. The spread will work for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 There is a difference between a kid who is committed and taking visits elsewhere and a kid who is clearly uncommitted and has completely re-opened his recruitment. When a kid openly states that he has '3 favorites' does that sound like a guy who is committed to any one school? Scott right now is in the same position as Enrique Davis late last class in which the recruitment is clearly open again. PS: I never said that Scott definitely wouldn't end up signing, just that at this point he is not committed to us. For what its worth, even if Scott wants to come he may get left out depending on the status of McCalleb. Last I heard if McCalleb makes the grades at prep there wont be room for Scott.

Hoopie 6 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 If McCalebb goes to prep school, makes the grades and is able to enroll at AU in January.....that's the guy I want. Based on his recent statements, he is fired up about playing for AU. At this point, the 2 guys look similar on paper....I'll take the guy with heart.

tony-da-tiger 0 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 But if he signs and enrolls in Jan. won't he count against the '08 class and not the '09 class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
