Coming Down The Stretch
« on: January 24, 2017, 03:57:45 PM »
Depending on which site you look at, AU has either 19 or 20 commits with about 7 of those already enrolled.  So with 5-6 spots remaining, what are the biggest needs?  Skreetz, what are you hearing?  We have 3 big O-Line commits, 3 nasty LB's and 3 DB's.  With the addition of Stidham, I'm actually good with where we are at QB, that is, if Lindsey really knows how to corch em' up.  Having Stidham, White, Barrett and even Clifford Franklin as the ultimate fall back makes me feel good about the position.

Wide Receiver is also of no concern given the numbers and young talent we have there.  However, only one D-Lineman and one true running back doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.  I said that 2 years ago and it almost bit us in the tukus.  We were one more injury away from playing out the season with 127 pound, Kam Martin.  Plus, the one RB we have committed is taking a couple more visits. 

Now granted, Alaric Williams is listed as an athlete, but I believe RB was his primary position and he looks to be a stud.  But, I'd still like more numbers.  And, despite racking up on D-Linemen last year, signing one in this class is not a good idea. 

Long snapper?   :thumsup:

What are you guys hearing?  Any must-get targets remaining out there?  Anyone we're looking at flipping?  I'll hang up and lissen'.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

LB **** Tyler Taylor
TE/Long Snapper *** John Shenker

Those are my final prospects to commit to Auburn.

There are several silent commitments that I'm not at liberty to discuss. These are 3 and 4 star players. Please keep this on the down low.

I'm just excited to see what might be the recognition of the position some call tight end.

Maybe, at long last, we actually incorporate that missing piece into the Chip Wagon.

WOTS...JUCO OLineman Matthew Tanner likely to commit to Auburn.

PS this fella doesn't have short arms (6'7" 345lbs.). He's a freakin monster.

So Snaggle and Prowler are brothers in law?

That explains so much...and yet it doesn't.

My update did tell me the reason he is going to probably sign with Auburn is because we only offered him a scholarship yesterday.  Over Georgia St, UAB and Miss St.  But we do agree I think he is a hoss.
