The Bodda Getta

Thanks Phillip

You can drop the "under the circumstances" statement. Auburn's class was strong enough to stand on its own without excuses.

I agree that great things are to come, In regards to Clowney,yes he is a great player, but now tell me who had better numbers out of him and Lawson if I might ask PM, I believe Lawson and Daniels are just as good!!!!!WDE

Gus has restored confidence and hope to the AU Family

Yeah I think I would tell them that I appreciated the offer but that they would need to wait until his junior year before they could actually talk to my son. I don't need a bunch of high profile college coaches filling my sons head with God knows what before he has reached an age to be able to process it. Recruiting him for 2 years would be plenty of time to form a relationship. I would also set a limit on the number of times my phone would ring too. Any more than the specified amount would mean automatic expulsion of your school. D1, DII, DIII, Junior College. They will all educate my son. School will always be first and sports second.

It's funny that everyone, including bama fans, thought it was funny when USC offered that 8th grade QB a scholly a few years back. Bet now the bama fans think its another smart move by the illustrious omnipotent one.

The only possible plus I can see in this early of an offer would be that the kid now knows that college is possible and could work on making sure that his grades are good enough to qualify, or can work hard to graduate early. Either way he would be better prepared to handle the RIGORS(thanks flashcam) of being a true student athlete in college.

Great article Phillip. I too have been amazed and impressed with CGM's assembly of coaches. I was somewhat skeptical when he was announced but it didn't take long before he showed me and everyone else why the special committee members had total confidence in him and his ability to get AU back where we belong. I cannot wait to see the product he puts on the field in 6 mos!
