The Bodda Getta

Suppose that I must offer this. Yes, missing out on Foster - maybe - is not a positive, but I fail to see why we are not considering Frost and Casanova in all the rumblings? My belief is that both are significantly better than they were allowed to be last year. Cas is bigger and just as fast as RF and did anyone ever watch his highlights? He does not just tackle, he mauls. In the one game he was given time last year he had 12 tackles. Frost is just a pure athlete and very cerebral. I think lack of coaching has been an issue and his confidence shaken also. I see that turning around quickly under good coaching. Now add to that Flowers and Tony and others from the current roster, I think the LB core will be just fine. In this new D, the emphasis is for the linemen to hold up the OL (big new recruits and returning DL and suspect Carl will occupy 1-2? at least and add our other DE's including Bower, maybe Daniels?) and have the LB use speed and reaction to plug holes. Dare say that we have beefed up our line and expect that the new recruits will bring out the best level of competition from the current group.......who have a lot of talent and size. DB's are key and if we can develop some of the outstanding freshmen from last year, who have the talent, add a couple studs this year and develop a lock down or 2, well.....that is what we need. Last but not least are the safeties.......we have good talent back but have you seen King hit? He will make any receiver think about crossing and backs will be smashed if they break through. All in all, my expectations are very high not only because of the recruits, but also because I don't think we have seen 50% of what the current roster can bring. The offense simply takes up where Gus left off previously. Humble opinion of course.......WDE

Great job BM.

Bryan, do you think we hang on to Bower and do we now go after Cunningham? Thanks.

I think Foster choosing Bama may give Adams more incentive to come to Auburn!

That would be a good close to this year. I remember commenting, and I still believe it, that we would be fortunate to land a top 20 class after all that has happened to AU this year. A 3 win season and a coaching change is tough to compensate for. A top 10 class is as good as any of us could have imagined and we can imagine a lot.
