Dixie1860 27 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The RBs in the '14 class will be Freshmen when Mason, CAP and Grant are Seniors, so I fully expect us to take 3 RBs in '14, not 2, to replace those 3 Seniors. If one of the 3 Seniors has a great Junior year in '13 and leaves for the NFL early, it is even more reason to take 3 Freshmen in '14 to go along with Ford and Barber from '13. '14 season: (3) Seniors- Mason, CAP ,Grant (0) Juniors- none (2) Sophs- Ford, Barber (3) Freshmen- Pettway plus 2 like I said the coaches are planning on 2 RBs right now. If 1 goes pro this year then I say yes to 3. If not then we would have 8 scholly RBs on roster at the same time in 2014 if we take 3 in this class. There is not a scenario were I ever see us having 8 RBs on roster at the same time...especially given RB is the easiest position to transfer to from High School to college. I expect us to take 3. Ooooh! I smell a wager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,598 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 We'll need to sign three. Somebody will get injured, not make his grades, get "attritioned" for some other reason or turn pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I also see three as the number we will take next year, just makes sense with our numbers right now and future needs. The coaches wish they had more right now, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTiger 2 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I've heard it said that you need 5 studs RB's and then let the cream rise to the top. That way if one is injured and one gets in the doghouse you still have depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCBAuburnaFan 1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 So I've had this theory for a while, What if the fake Gabe Wright twitter is actually ran by Gabe? So that he can get away with saying a lot more stuff? Or it could be another Auburn player close to GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smh Well LSU should sign Fournette IMO, UAt has Bo Scarborough as well as the on-campus and 2013 signees. thUGA is stacked and looks to get Chubb so I would say that leaves us, Ole Sis' and UofO and since he has said he prefers close to home that we are in the driver's seat. At least that is where I choose to believe he is indeed headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperNova 0 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Info (rumors mostly) on Roc are all over the place. Some people are saying that Roc likes AU because of the depth chart and does not like bama because they have too many RB's. Then.... the gumps are saying that Roc is a backup plan if Saban can't close the deal on Fournette. LSU guys are saying that Fourette is a cornlock. And there are others saying that Roc will be headed to Athens. This will be a ROCky recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is like saying a possible likelihood of Thomas to Auburn and Nick to thUGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
