TigerDevil 3 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Meta, you have any info on new recruits we are going after? Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55391-meta-give-us-a-breakdown-of-the-new-prospects-we-are-recruiting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUman43 5 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Without violating my membership, I can tell you they are pursuing Tyrik Rollison the Texas QB, the Running Back from Miami, Rueben Randall the WR from Louisiana, Tana Patrick and still after Kendall Kelly, they are also after a Macon Miss linebacker, a Linebacker out of Florida, a return man from Naples Fla, and Corey Gaines the big DL. You'll still have to figure out who these are if you can. I can't say more or jeapordize my membership and I can tell you these are not all by any means. I believe Chizik will surprize some people. BTW, Steven Jaques decommitted and now commits to South Florida.

AUman43 5 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Oh yes, we're also seriously after Johnnie Farms and D.T. Shackleford. OG out of Ga and LB from Decatur, Alabama. Farms had committed to South Carolina and Shackleford to Tennessee. Hope we get both.

baseballman8388 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Farms is a UNC commit, not USC. Not that it matters. Hopefully he will be an AU commit in a couple weeks. Chizik and company are doing an amazing job.

Chizik and company are doing an amazing job. Actually he committed to USC then de-committed and committed to NC. Now the new staff at AU wants him to de-commit and recommit one more time.

metafour 5,777 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Everyone is kind of flying all over the place so its hard to get a read on who is actually getting offers...some of the names past the obvious ones already mentioned (Randle, Farms, Rollison etc.): WR Cabo Hamilton (TX) WR/KR Derrick Hopkins (FL) RB Gregg Pratt (FL) LB Quanthony Fletcher (FL) - Was being looked at by previous staff as well...not sure whats going on with him.

TigerEyes1914 1 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Meta...with the exception of Hamilton none of these guys seem to pass the eyeball test. Hopkins and Pratt are small and their speed doesnt seem impressive. Fletcher is showing a 4.95 speed for a 6-1 LB. Are they looking to move him to DT? What do the coaches see in these guys?

Trindon Holiday was a two star with few offers. He was a gray shirt at LSU. Hopkins sounds similar: http://insidetheu.com/recruiting/recruitview.php?v=692 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55391-meta-give-us-a-breakdown-of-the-new-prospects-we-are-recruiting/#findComment-572515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,781 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It was reported here earlier in the year that AU withdrew the offer to Johnny Farms when Jaques committed. (Kind of a first come, first served situation) I guess that since Jaques has now decommitted, we're trying to get Farms back?

Hopkins is a track star so his speed/athleticism is legit. Pratt has some pretty decent offers (Cinci, Pitt, NC State, Illinois) and reports a 4.4 forty. Again, I'm not sure if these guys actually have legit offers (Hopkins is listed as having an offer, Pratt is not)...Hopkins was recruited by Iowa State so I can see them going after him here if they like him enough which they apparently do.

My dad has DT in class and says that he is pretty high on auburn now but hasn't really had a chance to talk to him since he got back from his visit. Dad loves him in his chemistry class, and he normally hates stud football players. Said he works as hard as anyone he's ever had.

aucanucktiger 2,016 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Recruiting a RB named Gregg Pratt? Wasn't that the name of our FB that died of heat stroke after practice in the early '80s?
