auwallace 6 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Per Rivals............Seastrunk (rb) is #2 overall recruit and Reed (wr) is #14 overall recruit. Gonna be tough to get either of these guys but Seastrunks comments are promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNewby 27 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Recruits visiting during spring practice is a plus, imo. Gives them a chance to see their specialty being coached, and get a feeling for the whole experience of being an Auburn Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub5793 0 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The best way to sell these guys on Auburn is getting them to Auburn, so it is promising in itself that we have gotten them to come. If you don't aim for the big boys, you won't get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR-MATT 2 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Per Rivals............Seastrunk (rb) is #2 overall recruit and Reed (wr) is #14 overall recruit. Gonna be tough to get either of these guys but Seastrunks comments are promising. Seastrunk has AU as his favorite right now and he's never been on campus. I think we have a very good chance with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prowler 1 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I've got a feeling that Lache will either be a Solid Commitment after this weekend, or a Silent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU Cav 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Reports are he said he had 'the best visit of (his) life.' Sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prowler 1 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Also, in the report Mr. Lache stated that he's been to USC and nearly all across the Country but, he has Never been treated the way he's been treated down here. He talked about how Everything was laid out before him about what they're looking for, what he would be doing...how he would be able to contribute, etc. He also made it a point to emphasize that the Auburn Coaches are the Real Deal, they don't tell you what you want to hear (ie they don't lie). Dude, I'm getting F'N Pumped about this coaching staff more and more. It seems like after reading any article about the new staff makes "It" move just a little bit more every time.

AUman43 5 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Malzan will probably end up getting Seastrunk and it will be a great catch. Just my prediction since the kid said it was the best visit ever and he liked the Offense. I just wish some of these OUTSTANDING players would go ahead and commit and draw some more great ones.

It's early in the recruiting season and we are doing well with the skill players. If you want to complain, then complain that we don't have any OL and only one big one in the mix. We need OL more than anything else. It's actually to early to complain about that, but you seem as if you need to complain about something.

Mikey 16,635 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Commitments don't mean "committed" in the recruiting game. I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a kid say he's committed, even if the term only means "today's favorite". I'm impressed after they SIGN, then QUALIFY, then ENROLL. Until those things happen, it's just varying degrees of BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 No offense Mikey, but I dont think theres anything more annoying right now then the "commitments mean nothing" crowd that popped out of nowhere. The way these people talk you'd think that 90% of kids who commit early end up signing somewhere else...thats not even remotely true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If LSU would've gone 11-2 last season, he'd be donning the purple and gold to bed right now. I'll be huge a AU fan until you guys come down to Red Stick. He'll enjoy that "big game" atmosphere. That's not to say I don't cheer for you guys against the rest of the SEC West; I'm still looking into attending AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd didn't pop up out of nowhere. It popped up when prospects started acting like commitments mean nothing. It seems that the bigger the fish, the less "commitment" means. So, until they sign, qualify and enroll I don't pay too much attention one way or the other. Commitments by themselves, months ahead of time, do mean virtually nothing.

The significant percentage of allegedly committed players that 'decommit" and then "decommit" another time or two before they actually sign makes the statement: "commitments means nothing" far from ridiculous. You talk like switching commitments is a once a year phenomenon. It's frequent, in fact, common to the point that commitment means nothing.

It's quite amazing that we never "heard the story." In fact, I'm surprised that you didn't hear the story that had both locked up until Miles offered Randle something that he couldn't turn down. I'm just happy that he hasn't been disqualified from playing. Stories are just stories. Bring something stronger than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had that crow yet? Point is, when you come in a recruiting forum making statements as fact and then are shown to be wrong, you suffer a credibility hit. Personally, I'll listen to Seastrunk befor I listen to you, but that wisdom comes with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
