Friedchickenman 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If it's for personal reasons then okay I guess, but why on earth a receiver would want to leave with the type of coordinators we have coming in (Malzahn, T. Taylor) is beyond me. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55274-three-players-leaving-au/#findComment-571186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUdrew1 3 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If it's for personal reasons then okay I guess, but why on earth a receiver would want to leave with the type of coordinators we have coming in (Malzahn, T. Taylor) is beyond me. with his development as a player over the last few years maybe it was not all coaching. Perhaps it was work ethic as well and he is scared of the work that will be involved in trying to start this year.

Ravad 78 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I hope this does not hurt us with recruit Reggie Taylor out of Peachtree, GA. I read a few articles where he said he was looking foward to playing with his cousin Chris.

AU Cav 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Per Scout. I'd heard the rumor earlier today. Speculation that he needs to help his family in a big way. Three hits in one day. Ouch.

RunInRed 19,658 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nope, he missed more games than he ever played in. Still, you look at the raw talent and just shake your head saying "what could have been." Best of luck to him.

RunInRed 19,658 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 runinred63 is the Grim Freakin' Reaper today. I categorically reject the irrationality of a position that says that it is better not to know than to know.

jtweeks 0 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Is it just me or does it seem as though we have more players leaving, transferring, going JC, and to the NFL than ever before? If Williams, Slaughter and Blackmon are all leaving b/c of the "classroom", WTH was TT and his academic advisors doing?

AU Cav 0 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I was as much a TT supporter as the next guy, but the whole Patrick Trahan situation really upset me. More and more, it looks like the previous staff had quit on Auburn a year or two ago and was waiting for the hammer to drop.

jtweeks 0 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I agree Cav. I have supported TT and went as far as to email him thanking him for his years at Auburn. But from the looks of things I think that TT and company had become a bit too arrogant! It seems as though a kid had to show immediate interest in AU or they would not go after them. Once again, somewhat arrogant! Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55274-three-players-leaving-au/#findComment-571221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,781 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Is it just me or does it seem as though we have more players leaving, transferring, going JC, and to the NFL than ever before? If Williams, Slaughter and Blackmon are all leaving b/c of the "classroom", WTH was TT and his academic advisors doing? Transfers and early NFL departures are pretty much normal following a coaching change. Remember James Willis left for the NFL when Dye was replaced. There were several others too, just less notable. Check out what happened to the basketball team when Ellis left and Lebo was hired. Again, unfortunate but pretty much to be expected, regardless of the sport.
