The Bodda Getta

2 stars?????

If this is so, what would have caused us to fall so low in recruiting after winning the NC last year? Isn't that supposed to give us a good bump in recruiting success?

Good comments, AU08Fan. Maybe I am discouraged because of Yeldon, Ward, and others whom I thought we had. Now I'm seeing remaining AU targets leaning to other schools. About the "swagger", it seems to me that AU must actually get the recruits and the swagger would follow. Right now I'm looking a the glass about 2/3 full and we really need the glass to be full by Feb 1. This is like fishing, but it's not "catch & release". Getting them up to the side of the boat doesn't count. You have to catch 'em and clean 'em. Swagger comes when the plate is on the table. Swagger comes when highly recruited players are begging to come to Auburn, not when Auburn is doing the begging. This Old Tiger has seen a lot of 5 stars never star and some 3 stars become All-Americans. It just doesn't look like "Swagger" (what ever in the heck that is) when these elite players seem to be playing AU. Hope Coach Chizik and staff find some 3 stars that want to be at Auburn. And about eating crow? I would be happy to eat a flock about right now. War Eagle.

Justin Blackmon was a 3-star recruit....just throwing that out there

I have tremendous confidence in our coaching staff. They have no fear in searching the country, not just the region, for the recruits that we best need. They reach for the stars. Hopefully we'll sign a few of those stars. But personally, the uncertainty of the OC coaching search, plus the uncertainty of recruiting is taking a toll. I'm hopeful that we get that great OC soon, soon, soon so that some of these recruits will catch the AU excitement again. WDE!

In the SEC west , you better get your share of top recruits or you'll never see Atlanta..

I am sorry for the constant negativity but it is looking like Chizik is about to sign the class that loses him his job.

Just heard we lost WR - Ricardo Louis to FSU. While I'm looking forward to signing day, I think the OC search has gone on too long. If it's someone coming out of the NFL, I respect letting them finish the season, but if that person is committed to Auburn, they also have a responsibility to this team and recruiting class. Was hopping the new OC announcement would have been made by today.

Don't waste your breath. It is useless for you to try rational thinking. You cannot address stupidity with some. I also happily used the Ignore for that same poster.
