AUwarrior 26 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Ive seen a couple people on this forum reference Ronald Powell as a lifelong AU fan. Does anyone know if this is true or not? If it is true does anyone have any idea why either A) We arent recruiting him or He isnt interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm not 100% sure if he's from Calif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 21,207 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 His from CA and committed to the Gators I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwarrior 26 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Rivals lists him as being from Moreno Valley, CA. Im sure many of you have heard the "he's an AU fan" rumor. Im trying to determine if anyone has an actual source for that or if its just a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,622 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The coaches can't cover EVERY prospect, coast to coast. If Powell had any interest in Auburn, he could have contacted someone at Auburn. I'm sure the ball would have got rolling in a hurry after that.

Thats why I doubt there is any truth to the Powell being and AU fan chatter we've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12au12 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I read an article early on in the recruitment process that talked about powell either originally being from al or having family in al that were big au fans. dont remember the exact quote but i will search for it and get back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satnightride 1 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Powell grew up in Alabama as an Auburn Fan. Moved to Cali and narrowed his list pretty quickly to USC and UF. He said many many times in Rivals articles that "Early in the process, I was like, If I got an offer from Auburn I would commit right on the spot... " Then, for some reason, he never even visited.

AUwarrior 26 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Maybe the coaches know something we dont. Thats the only thing I can figure, maybe he isnt a fit for us off the field.

I dont know Im just contemplating why we wouldnt go after him. We did go after him. Recruiting sadly isn't a simple process where the team that turns the crank the most gets the player. There are many many factors that could eliminate a team right off the bat. If D-III University of Mary Hardin-Baylor called him 15 times a day, would he have Visited? Did they go after him? I'm not saying we're UMHB level but you kinda get the idea. Sometimes a recruit just isn't interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe that when a few posts up a guy is quoting Powell as saying he would commit on the spot if we offered. Maybe he was into us early and faded I dont know.
