The Bodda Getta

Didn't Nick Fairley also come from Mobile?

And looking back to 2002, it looks like we've only gotten three 4-star commits out of Mobile prior to 2010. Luper has gotten two in the last three years.

His name is also attached to Jovon Robinson, Tre Mason, Michael Dyer, Cam Newton, and Trovon Reed.

So, "what are we getting out of Curtis Luper?".....Cam Newton and Michael Dyer = National Championship, Mason, Robinson, and Reed could be apart of another run.

Yeah, he, Sen'Derrick Marks, and Gabe McKenzie were the only 4-stars to go to Auburn in the eight years from 2002 to 2009.

The day the NCAA released Alabama from the repeat violator window, was the last day that Auburn had success in Mobile.
Jobs, Cars, Coaches finder fees, you name it, this day began the "Business as Usual" era AGAIN for Alabama recruiting in Mobile.

I didn't list Fairley, he was a 3-star.

Eight years before Luper Auburn got three 4-star players from there. He has gotten two in three years. That at least seems like an improvement.

And you didn't answer my question. Is this a Luper problem or is it a culture challenge in that Mobile people, coaches, and therefore Mobile players, tend to be raised Alabama fans?

There is no doubt the deck is severely stacked against AU in that area. If we are going to continue to recruit there it is the job of any AU coach that recruits there to overcome/change it.

OK...I down voted you; but only b/c you told me to.
