    Disagree with Bates and Davis being big finds. Neither have been very good or consistent imo. Davis took a step back last year and Bates has just never been good, he's just been better then his original 2* ranking but that isn't saying very much.

    Biggest find I would have say Emory Blake because he only had like 1 big offer from Texas Tech when he switched his commitment to us.

    You're right, Bates leading the team in tackles is highly inconsistant. Davis has been consistantly our best cover corner. Its a damn good thing you're not a coach. You're not even football savy enough to be judging good from bad players...

    Respectfully disagree with you on these two. They are both "Auburn Men". bates moved from his natural position for the good of the team. In today' s game that is very difficult to do. Davis played hurt most of last year. But he also did this for the good of the team. A shut down corner only gets noticed when he gets burned, which did not happen very often. Half the time his job is done before the play is called because the opposing offensive coordinator does not want the play to go his way. Just my opinion for what it's worth.......

    i disagree with people putting ladarious phillips on the miss list. i don't think he was ever anything more than a special project that got an offer simply because we had one to burn. it's kind of like throwing a five dollar chip on the green slot of the roulette wheel on your way out of the casino. i doubt there were ever any real expectations, outside the irrational exuberance of online message boards. a 300lb tailback? come on...

    that's just my opinion. i've been wrong before. and i was certainly hoping for the best for the guy, but when he got put on his back on that attempted block in the backfield last year, i pretty much put away that pipe dream.

    He was just such a scrub. Lowly ranked but just felt like mentioning. Only guy who talent wise just proved he was never worth a scholarship imo.

    If you're so football savy let me hear why Davis was the best and back it up with video proof. Ill wait. Same with Bates since leading in tackles makes you the best.

    Show us a better cover corner on the roster with significant experience.

    By the way Carlos Rogers and Jerraud Powers got burned on occasion. Davis will be mentioned in the same conversations with those two before he is through on the Plains. It takes a very special player to succeed as a cover corner.
