It’s make or break in 12 days

    FREE: Crunch time for Auburn’s 2012 recruiting class comes in 12 more days. Signing Day is big for every school but for Auburn this year, it will be decisive.

    Signing day is going to be AUsome! Is there anywhere that lists what recruits will be announcing on BSPN? Sounds like I'm going to have to watch all ten hours of the signing day coverage with the number of kids we have announcing. We are going to take over the entire broadcast, and get a lot of free publicity.

    As nervous as it seems to have made our fans, it might actually be a good thing that our recruiting class has been slow with the intention of dropping a signing day NUKE!!

    WDE!

    Auburn fans need to be nervous. Other schools' sites have several of our targets leaning to them. Hope your nuke doesn't turn out to be a dud.

  • I am really worried here. If we do not get these guys we will be left to fill spots with 2 and 3 star guys. This would cause us to get out athleted by bamer over the next few years.

  • Yeah, we should all be super nervous because this coaching staff has proven they make extremely poor decisions and can't recruit in crunch time.confused

  • I am excited about recruiting as the next guy. That said, the more we upgrade our coaching staff, the better I feel that recruiting is not make or break. I want physical football players who love the weight room and have a chip on their shoulder. Recruitng has turned into a beauty contest at times with way too much hype.

    Give me a good solid group of guys and instill "Never to Yield" in them.

    WDE!

    No disrespect Motoron, but sometimes the truth hurts. If you are seeing roses, then I would really like to borrow your glasses. We do not have the commits. To pretend otherwise is just wishing and hoping. AU has my support, but my enthusiasm has reasons to be dampered.

    I am expecting good thimgs to happen on SD. This coaching staff has given me little reason to doubt them. Until they do I will continue to believe that they will get the job done. No disrespect OldTiger but people are either a glass half empty or a glass half full type of person. Looks like you're showing how you see things. When this class closes out on a HUGE high note, which I fully believe they will, I will be able to enjoy it knowing that I believed it would happen the whole time. You will have to eat crow for doubting this coaching staff that doesn't deserve to be doubted at all. This is the lack of Swagger that BM has referred to. Why do people not believe that we will close out well? Sounds like some folks have too many bama fans teaching them how to think!

    Man up! We have recruited well the last few years and one "decent/good" class won't cripple our program. Arkansas doesn't recruit near as well as we do but they seem to put a good product on the field.

    The OC hire is the most important thing for our program right now.

  • While its always important to recruit well and bring in as many good recruits as possible, this year it is not NEARLY as important since we will have so many returning starters...not for just next year but for 2013 and 2014!! What is very important is to address areas of need, which we have already on both sides of the line, at LB and now at FB/H back. What is important is getting guys who are going to get in school....STAY IN SCHOOL and develop. Getting Goldman, Diggs, Darby or some of the other 5 star talent just infuses us with guys who can contribute immediately and thats always helps but hopefully isn't necessary.

  • We are short of the 85 and that lack of depth hurts badly. The new recruiting limitations make closing this Gap more difficult. In fact if I am not mistaken we have fewer players than teams who were sanctioned by the NCAA. Auburn's back to back top 5 recruiting classes are all well and good, but failing to have a top class after a 2010 National Championship will be very disappointing. Our Class should be filled by now. Our HOPE of closing strong should not be the case.
    Auburn had all the stars aligned for a great recruiting year. Now our coaches have to scratch and claw the last 10 days in hope to fill a class?
    Instead of building on 2013 or closing a few remaining 4 and 5 stars, our coaches spend their time like Dutch Boys patching holes in a licking Dyke to keep our commitments from flipping.

    WHY? I’ll tell you why. Once again this is only my Opinion.

    Auburn’s PR department stinks. We have been trashed by the media and we have done NOTHING but taken it.
    Our Team. No one knows where Auburn is going! Our Team never improved over the season.

    Coaching hires!
    BVG. Great Hire. Where is the BUMP? Not ONE defensive recruit since his hire. Auburn paid a price waiting to hire him.
    CGC does not appear to have an OC ready to name. This is Not Good. I believe CGC does not know what he wants to do and his indecisions have hurt recruiting. CGC is late to the FINAL EXAM and his lack of timeliness has damage everything he has accomplished to this point. He is in damage control and he is not at his best from this prospective.
    I am preparing myself not to be disappointed at this point.

    If we finish, Great. I'll holler WDE with everyone, but I will still want to know how CGC appeared unprepared for changes that we all knew were coming in this coaching staff. BAFFLING.

  • Coach Chiz is in complete control.

    He has done a remarkable job in 3 years. He has elevated our recruiting to another level.

    I trust him to make his decision when he is comfortable, he has earned that right.

    I'm thankful that Coah Chizik is great recruiter.......compared to Coach Tubbs.
