Message Guyute_Pig beers 103 º places 48 º 18:24 Tue 5/29/2012 Some serious work being done recruiting defense at AU. Dee Liner and Carl Lawson two of the top DE in the country and 5 star studs are solid and recruiting hard for us, expectations that we lead big for Montravious Adams DT, and that 4 star DE Tashawn Bower will commit if all goes well during visit this weekend. Stud LB Trey Johnson is solid and #2 player in the country LB Reuben Foster was in for Big Cat Weekend, definite flip potential from the Crimson turds with him going to Auburn HS. It is early, but VanGorder and crew are swinging for the fences and in very good shape.

Nice legacy grab there, Gumby. Who’s this QB you grabbed from small school Texas with Lamar as only other offer? Your staff must really like him to take him so early, there had to be higher guys on your board though. Seems peculiar to me. Plus he spells his name Nic with no K on the end. Thats gotta bother you. Missed our main targets for the year already (And man, it’s early to say that - but several committed).. Gave the new OC his picks (Since he’s from Texas).. he gave out two offers on the same day to less heralded kids down there.. first to commit, got it. Other got their offer pulled. I believe after this year, Ruddock will have the reigns for 3 years. We’ll be aiming hard at QBs in next class (Probably already working it hard due to this year).. Either way, I’m pretty excited about the class so far. Pretty great class this early.. Brian Ferentz and Lavarr Woods joining the staff and bringing younger mindsets and NFL experience (As players) has really energized the recruiting game

Smart kid and incredibly well coached from St. Thomas Aquinas. I was miserable Randy was not recruiting him during his last year and Al came in late and really wanted him and tried to get him to switch, but the Ruddock’s stood firm with their pledge to Iowa which is commendable. Refreshing to see a kid actually homnor their early commitment even though he got the offer he wanted late.

Time to see some dominance on the field with all those 4-star and 5-star recruits heading to The Plains over the past four years... during the post-Cam Newton era.

Time to see some dominance on the field with all those 4-star and 5-star recruits heading to The Plains over the past four years... during the post-Cam Newton era. In fairness to them, this is the final year of Tuberville’s last recruiting class, which was complete crap (’06 and ’07 were pretty poor, too, and helped aide his removal). Only T’Sharven Bell (CB) and Onterio McCalebb (RB)are left from that class and truly only Darvin Adams panned out(WR - Carolina Panters). We have an enormous amount of talent now and Chizik largely has his own players at this point. Our defense has been pretty poor the past few years and I am excited to see the elite talent being targeted, specifically on the D-Line and at LB. I have no problem saying Ted Roof was a crappy coordinator and look forward to seeing what VanGorder can do. Two new coordinators, Kiehl Frazier takes over at QB as true soph... a lot needs to come together and fast. Clemson, MSU, and LSU in the first 4 weeks. We’ll be better than last year, but don’t think we can beat UGA, LSU, or Bama. I am confident we will seriously contend for the Sec West in 2013 and potential Nat. Championship in 2014.

Is it already that time of year? I hadn’t noticed... and I’m not even slamming college baseball here. Had-no-clue!
