gilstein21 1 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I see JJ at QB and Jason Smith as a terrific receiver a lot like Marcus Davis. maybe some more moves in space. But I see both of them making a lot of possession catches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I see Gus using the players available in the best possible way. I doubt it matters if someone is new or if they were All-American last year. If someone is going to give us a better chance to win then that is who will play. Jason Smith is an incredible athlete and until he shows up nobody knows for sure what position he plays. I do know that it will be wherever Gus feels is best for the team.

That is the great thing about Gus is that he will find a way to utilize any and all talent at the right time to benefit the team, keeping the team mentality. Unity.

autigeremt 6,652 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Plans to enroll at Auburn in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,677 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Sure this will be merged with the OG thread soon, but I hope he can contribute at QB AND receiver like a better Quan Bray He'd probably be as fast and more elusive than Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggwilliams 61 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That is huge. That is a 4 star from last year. Good news. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,638 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 He's been in JUCO and unless he can graduate by December he won't be here then. JUCO players MUST graduate to be eligible. If he makes it then he'll have three years to play three since he redshirted this JUCO season. If he qualifies to enroll early, he can count back on the 2014 class. We currently have 5 slots for early guys but that number could go down if we sign more players between now and May. The signing period which started today lasts until May 29.

ellitor 33,108 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Has he been in prep school and if so does that mean he will have 4 years to play at AU? He is in juco not Prep. Same school as Dook and Moncrief were in. Jason redshirted this year so he will have 3 to play 3. Per Free posts by Bryan Matthews we are syill recruiting Jason as we did before, as an ATH with a shot at QB. Jason will play QB for MGCCC in 2014.

We currently have 5 slots for early guys but that number could go down if we sign more players between now and May. The signing period which started today lasts until May 29. And to update this Mikey was right to stick to his guns. Bryan Matthews has changed his tune and also says we could only count 3 of the 5 EEs from this class back to 2013. There is one more thing that can affect our 25 number for this and next year. If the Texas Tech transfer Chase Robison gets a scholly this semester as was reported to be expected , he counts to the 25 initial counter limit for 2014. That will put us at 21 for 2014 and would result in 4 EEs from 2015 being able to count back to 2014. If he gets a scholly this summer, fall, or next January then he can be 1 of 5 that can count back to 2014.In case anyone is wondering this has already happened with the new rule. Corey Grants transferred as a walk on. Since he was given a scholly before he finished 2 years at Auburn he had to count on a 25 initial counter list when he was put on scholly which I believe was the 2012 class..

AU80cruiser 1,102 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 He sounds like he's working hard to get his grades corrected and play for AU. We may have wanted Jason even if Treon Harris committed to us but I'm sure he's glad Harris signed with Florida today. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/01/former_mcgill-toolen_star_jaso.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueVue 177 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I read that article and I have to say, it sure is refreshing to read about a guy with such a good attitude. I loved his line..."I would like to play QB but if i get there and someone is better than me and beats me out, I'll be happy to play slot receiver or anywhere else I can help the team win." I really hope things come together for this kid and he makes his way to Auburn because I believe he will be a big asset to the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tivo48 31 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'll be absolutely thrilled if he makes it back here. Hopefully he keeps his head in the books and does everything he needs to in order to finish by December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,867 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Jason is an easy guy to like and obviously wants to be at AU- has a boatload of talent to boot. I'll take a guy like this all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's also two years that he won't be at Auburn learning the system, getting to know his way around and possibly helping us win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
