ScoopScore 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow... you gotta feel for Kris and his family. I hope it all works out well and he is able to attend AU. His talent could send him anywhere and he wants AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you should be happy when he signs on NSD because I believe he is still subject to the transfer Rules even as a grayshirt when he signs his LOI.

Read the last page or 3 f this thread. that's what I thought,... you can't give me a time where a recruit of KF's caliber has accepted a greyshirt offer. I mean, this kid is ranked in the top five athletes in this class for a reason. Add to that, the fact that his parents would have to pay the out of state tuition, which I'm sure isn't cheap,.. and I find it far fetched to believe that this is what will happen. I don't like the way this has gone down, and I hope like hell he ends up in this class, b/c I think he will be special. Maybe a scholly will open up for him,....

We should be glad to get a kid of this caliber on campus If you read this thread you'll see that apparently the young man said he was going to Michigan, our coaches moved on to someone else, and then the young man said he wanted to come here after um fired richrod. Our coaches are men of character and they will not go back on their word to the other recruit - so NO, AU did NOT drop the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you should be happy when he signs on NSD because I believe he is still subject to the transfer Rules even as a grayshirt when he signs his LOI. Agree. I was hoping he'd enroll this week. If he signs on NSD w/o being enrolled, I'll also be excited. All I'm saying is rarely do you see high caliber rated players take greyshirts. Not unheard of, just rare and unique. Other Teams will have an opportunity to get in his ear. I'm hoping his families comments that they are sold on Auburn hold. I'm not completely shocked parents may pay his way. They may have money in a 529 or something over the years for college. If they love AU, then I'm so glad they are ALL IN. If he doesn't get a schoolly that means we get the late big dogs many of us predict. I actually expect AU to end w/ a top 5 class. If we keep this coaching staff intact (at least most parts), we are on the verge of building a dynasty. Great time to be an Auburn Tiger. Actually always great! War Eagle!

ellitor 33,104 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 And since you are forcing me to think about it Kevin Greene came to Auburn as a walk on (essentially the same thing as a gray shirt) and I would say that worked out very well for KG and Auburn.

Because of the silent commits we have and waiting on word from players like Crowell and Huggins...And I am sure Calloway privately committed to the coaches before from Changed his mind and wanted to come to AU.

Funny how different the opinion of most Auburn fans was when it was Saban doing that... Agree w/ Red here. Statements have been made that coaches warned him BEFORE he committed that no sopt was available outside of greyshift. If that is true, then that speaks volumes for the confidence our coaches have w/ commits to come. Their job is to bring in the best class possible, but do it honestly and w/ integrity. I would not support ripping a scholly from someone already committed, and knowing the prospects still in contention for a scholly, I understand not taking Kris outright. A scholly may open up on NSD. If not, he's another great player in the fold. If coaches were honest, no ball was dropped. I personally just hope is family is truly ALL IN. Very rare to get a grey shirt of his rated caliber (as prev stated). Let's just enjoy the ride. We're about to add some huge commits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerProwl24 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Last i checked Calloway was committed to Bama and he has a spot. why is there not a spot for Frost? Because last I checked, we weren't recruiting Frost to play RB but to play WR/LB, positions of depth for us. We have important NEEDS that take priority over WANTS.

WDE. Buuutttt,.. with all due respect, Kevin Greene is not a good example either. Yes, he came to AU as a walk-on, and turned into a stud, but we hear those stories all the time. College coaches may often overlook a kid that turns out to have a heart of a champion, and a work ethic that drives them to become the best they can be. However, this is not the case with KF. We are talking about on of the top ath in this class, that is capable of playing on both sides of the ball. A kid who has offers from all over the nation. It's just hard for me to fathom that he would pay his on way, and accept a grayshirt offer, to anywhere, when he could virtually pick any school in america that he wanted. Especially after the reviews he got at the AA game,.... like I said, I could be wrong, and am probably talkiing out of place.
