Wilson's best season statistically was 2009. 

224 Comp.  378 Att.  59.3%  3027Yds.  8.0 YPA  31TD  11Int    147.8 Rtg.

That was on a 5-7 ACC team that played the likes of Gardner Webb, Murray State, Wake Forrest and Duke to whom they lost! 

His best season for wins was 9-4 (5-3 ACC) last season.

Kid's a good athlete, and may be better than what we have, who knows?  But I wouldn't be all giddy about him off his body of work in the ACC.
Anyone that is giddy about this possibility is just kidding themselves.  I just think since there are about 60 remaining scholarships to give anyway; and knowing that beyond Trotter, the prospects are slim at QB, it is worth giving him a shot...at least for added depth.

No problem with bringing him in to COMPETE.  Bring him in as the #1 with it as his job to lose...NO.

I doubt any of our staff sees it as his to lose.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

Nobody, but that's essentially what they did with Cam.  All I'm saying on Wilson is A: I don't think he's anything to get all moist about.  Bring him in and let him compete, and hope for the best.  B: This move always has the potential to cause other players that have been on campus paying their dues to get pissed.  No, they shouldn't but it has to suck to be working hard with your team, then suddenly some guy t'fers in and takes your spot.  Good coaching and personnel management certainly helps, and having good leaders on the team too, but it's risky all the same.

You mean the type of good coaching that led Auburn to it's first National Championship in 53 years?

There is a huge difference between coming in five months ago and coming in now. 
I have come full circle on this being a bad idea.

He's playing Class A ball right now.  If he decides to show up in time for summer practice he's gonna have to forgo some salary.  If I was him I would tell all the coaches recruiting me I'm sticking with the sport that is paying me some money.  After all, he's not even close to being a pro prospect in the NFL is he?

He would rather play pro football than pro baseball.  His dad was the last player cut from the Chargers in 1981 or so and the kid wants to live his dad's dream.  The old man died a few weeks/months ago.

From what I have read about his family, they are successful in whatever they do.  This is not a shady deal of any sort. 

All that being said, I am ambivalent on the whole thing.  I will take the "wait and see" attitude...unless I don't.

NOI want a Tony Richardson  every down type in case we aren't putting up the numbers in the air. A short yardage specialist won't do at Gus' pace and neither will a 6'3" or 6-4 TE/HB. I thought Curry might have gotten a shot but that idea vanished and with an all but new OL this should be important.

Hearing some serious rumblings that Wilson will be an Auburn Tiger. Something along the lines that he will be considered a walk-on.
