2019 Recruiting Thread

''Low 4 star'' hahahaha we havent had a WR like this since Eric Moulds you are way off

If mingo isn't a top 10 nfl draft pick in 3 years, you've severely over sold him. After hearing the same descriptions last year (different posters) about whop, I'm gonna have to see it to believe it. Fingers crossed, I'll see it at Scott field

[Ari Gold]

We're 10th in the sec now... that isn't any better among our peers than recently. Why aren't we signing a full class?

So we can hear you bitch..

[BuckyIsAB****]

Also Name the last time we signed a big time CB prospect out of high school...
Redmond.. who else...??
Agree it?s for sure the position we really need to upgrade.. but it?s not like we had been killng it in years past with big time CB prospects
Shoop is the biggest get for the DBs we have gotten in years. He did wonders this year with our backend.
Get those Juco CBs is the immediate solution

Jarrian Jones? Although I think he should play WR

Thats pretty high expectations but thats fine. He will be the best WR we have had in a long time barring injury.

No doubt about it on Shoop. I think Piroli may have had something to do with that too. We looked as fast and physical as I believe we ever had on the 2-deep in the backend.

In word only.

Appreciate the update. Wish we could get him.

I'm just playing. You've saw him play and obviously like him. Good enough for me... I want em

[Ari Gold]

And while we are lack of depth and recruiting at certain spots
I am just as worried about RB
Its an absolute travesty how Bad Mullen and Knox and Hevesy recruited RBs
I know we got Hill and Aries
But do a background check since say 2011 on the RB we signed and check them out
We have been EXTREMELY lucky the injury bug hasn’t hit this position throughout the years . And with Mullen’s offense and the stability of Knox we would have thought they would have recruited RB so much better. You have teams playing 2-3 backs every year with another redshirt sitting there waiting to get in the rotation.

We better hope Kylin doesn’t go down for long period of time... because talk about ZERO depth.

Pretty sure he has that Miami visit setup and ready to go this weekend

Hes the truth and you know what they say about the truth

[Ari Gold]

Yes Jarrian would make number 2.. and you 100% start this kid at Defense.. don’t even **** with him at WR

[BuckyIsAB****]

Im not the only one that thinks that but he can be good there too. To each his own

So have you ruled out Ealy signing and playing football with us?

[BankerDog]

While that's fine, we had options a,b,c. Now we might be getting d, and e. And that's after a terrible Cb class last year and a one man class the year before basically. Thin is being kind. Now I'll say the previous two were on Mullen.
Next year we will have to go juco big time back there.

Duncan was rated right below DJ James as one of the top unsigned AL HS players per AL.com. The kid can play and has a really good bloodline on top of that. At some point we have to start questioning T-Buck's recruiting ability..we lost Bishop and Mason last year and will now lose three of our DBs this year. You guys wanted to always point fingers at Hev, but I read nothing of T-Buck after the last year and a half.

[Ari Gold]

We still have a shot for sure.. But look at the active roster...
And if he does chose to play football here .. that will be 3 RB CJM will have in this class. Last year and the year before that we had 1.

[Ari Gold]

Never said he couldn’t be an effective WR.. but from all indications JJ wants to play CB so don’t **** with that.

I have begun to worry about this also. We were not going after a bunch of 4 stars, just decent 3 stars that we thought were better than their ranking. It seems we cannot even land those.

CB is a weird position. There is so much you don't learn at that position in high school because there are a crap ton of athletic guys that play the position but never learn technique. Two of the best corners ever in our history were a 3 star with no other D1 offers (Banks) and a 2 star out of high school in Georgia (Slay). Obviously if you are a Top 5 talent at the position out of high school you are probably flipping good. But there a lot of development that goes on at that position in college. Maybe the most development dependent position in football.

[Jarius]

I would guess a mid to high 3 star. 85-87 range

As someone looking in that doesn't have any ties to our recruiting, it's very rare that we have a kid that is committed to us that eventually decommits for a "better" school and is successful.

Additionally, most anyone that ends up with character issues is a bust. A lot of folks said we needed to stay away from Deon Mix. That one worked out really well for us in the end. And if you happen to notice, Auburn is all about those types of kids. That's not an accident and it's definitely had an impact on their team culture. I know that from a lot of Auburn folks on the inside b

Auburn has won a national title, been to another national title, been to the sec championship multiple times, and beaten bama more times than anyone else this decade. Where can I sign up to be the next Auburn?

I was about to say that RB worries me more than CB. We have Murphy and Jones who are both four star freshmen next year at that spot. And then Tyler Williams, Jaylon Reed, and Esias Furdge as freshmen or sophomores next year. And Selmon is a four star CB recruit verbally committed for 2020.


The RB depth issue is probably a big reason why we went after Kareem Walker this year to go along with Gibson. RB is a big priority for 2020 and 2021 looking ahead.
