the last thing i want to do is mess up the board. i might just kick back and let the big boys do it. i get upset enough with myself double posting when i miss an article on at least page one.i guess it is the getting old and watching yourself slip. i guess i will smoke on and save the worl of skyrim for a while.

this is why i do not like different articles buried in one thread. i am not going to go through each thread to see if anyone posted the article. it is not like the board is snowed under and when you do things that make it harder to post with out spending half your time on the fam seeing if an article has already been posted before you post something.... does this make any sense to you? it wastes time and it in its self by hunting for the article it discourages folks from posting. i do not get it. i get no money nor glory for posting articles. i am not a mod. but i have been told a couple of times by red he appreciates what i do for the board. i might ask red and the mods what can be done to fix this. i went and looked for articles. i found article i want to post. so i go to fam and look through the titles of threads to see if it has already been posted. no title. so i go back to the other site and copy and then come back and post it. that is a lot of wasted time. do you get what i am saying? once he sign he is not a recruit anymore right? i am not trying to be a jerk but i wasted a lot of time trying to help the basketball folks out only to get my time wasted. plus i screw up enough on my own as it is. it is very frustrating.

why no lol.

have you noticed there is less fighting on here than there has been for years? it is almost unnerving. i enjoy it but i believe mad folks talk more than the happy campers. i do and in that regard i am calling ya out loof. are the twins fuzzy today? what ya got? lol

depends are adult diapers golf...............

i like it as a chance for a new Auburn coach to set the world on fire.

thanx for posting!

ok this one hurts. what are our chances of keeping flannigan and coop?flannigan raised his game bigtime this year and coop to me needs to hit the weights and maybe work on his three point shooting? i could be way off but coop was knocked down a lot and pushed around some. he never showed any fear. anyone know?

as obvious as that is why has no one looked closer at emmert?would it be safe to say the ncaa protects their own?

Watch: Auburn QB commit Holden Geriner at Elite 11 regionals ByKeith Niebuhr 23 hours ago 9 CARROLLTON, Ga., -- Competing against some of the best quarterbacks in the country at Sunday's Elite 11 Regional in Georgia, Auburn quarterback commit Holden Geriner of Savannah (Ga.) Benedictine Military School more than held his own. In fact, he was one of 247Sports' Top Performers at the event (read HERE). "I think I did pretty well," Geriner said. "Obviously, I could have improved on a few things but I think I did overall pretty well." For Geriner, it was another strong showing in 2021. He also performed well at the NFA Myrtle Beach 7on7 event in February. This success isn't a surprise. Geriner, the No. 9 pro-style quarterback nationally for 247Sports, threw for 2,770 yards and 25 touchdowns to just three interceptions in 2020. Sunday, he showed off a big arm and for the most part was highly accurate. "I think the throws that were the most challenging, like on the run, just when they pushed everybody to the max, I think I did really well," Geriner said. Geriner committed to the Tigers on Feb. 1. He said Sunday his bond with the Auburn staff, particularly offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo, has only strengthened since that time. *** Get 30% off an annual subscription and receive the latest Auburn recruiting and team scoops *** *** Get FREE Auburn breaking news in your inbox *** Get the fastest scores, news, videos and more.

He's just ready to work and we're both super excited. It's going to be great." Geriner recently earned a fourth star from 247Sports. He said other recruits -- players he has targeted -- have taken notice of that. "Everybody kind of secretly looks at whether it's a three or four or 5-star -- or whatever it is," Geriner said. "I think it definitely plays a role into recruiting." 9COMMENTS You can watch our full interview with Geriner along with video highlights from Sunday up above. -You can follow Holden Geriner on Twitter HERE.

Brooks is Auburn's 4th in-state signee of the 2021 class and propels the Tigers to the 20th ranked recruiting class in 2021 . . . Auburn Plainsman

collegeandmagnolia.com 4-star Outside Linebacker Dylan Brooks is Headed to Auburn AUNerd 4-5 minutes Better late than never right? Yesterday, Tennessee finally caved and gave 4-star OLB Dylan Brooks his release from his signed National Letter of Intent with no restrictions. Earlier today he made official what most suspected. Dylan Brooks will be an Auburn Tiger. It’s been a long road to this point. Auburn lost Brooks to Tennessee early in the 2021 cycle thanks in large part to his close relationship with former Vols head football coach Jeremy Pruitt. Following Pruitt’s firing, coming after former UT AD Phillip Fulmer had assured Brooks that Pruitt was not going anywhere, Brooks formally request a release from his NLI. The Vols drug their feet for as long as they could but yesterday finally freed him. Now Bryan Harsin has his first blue chip recruit as Auburn’s head football coach. Highlights Scouting Report Brooks is a versatile athlete with the tools to develop into an elite edge rusher at the next level. He’ll likely start out as an outside linebacker but it would not shock me if he put put on enough weight to slide to strong side defensive end. He’s got a long frame, a great first step and the ability to turn his speed into power to overwhelm would be blockers. Will need to further refine his pass rush skills, learning how to better use his hands to defeat blockers but he’s got the athletic gifts to find a way onto the field very early in his career. The Class Despite a disappointing 6-4 season that ended with a coaching change a few days before the start of the Early Signing Period and the hiring of a new coaching staff after the Early Signing Period, Auburn’s 2021 class is in the top 20. Obviously, #20 overall and #8 in the SEC is not good enough for Auburn to compete for SEC championships but it’s outstanding considering the cirumstances. There won’t be a massive talent gap on the roster as it was feared there would be back in December. The Tigers still have some spots open for impact transfers as well. Overall, Bryan Harsin and his staff did an excellent job salvaging a situation that had the looks not that long ago of being a disaster. War Eagle Dylan!

maybe hollywood is looking for you to make you a star? lol

theadvocate.com LSU under federal investigation for 'safety practices' after sexual assault complaints ANDREA GALLO | Staff writer 4 minutes LSU is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education over potential violations of the Clery Act, which requires universities to report crimes that occur on campus and to address incidents of sexual violence. LSU acknowledged the investigation on Friday after The Advocate reported on it, citing two sources close to the investigation. One source with direct knowledge told The Advocate that the Department of Education had notified LSU "that they will be investigating their safety practices." "This week, LSU was notified that the U.S. Department of Education would be conducting a campus crime program review related to Clery Act requirements," said LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard on Friday afternoon. "Campus safety and the well being of those at LSU is always our priority, ad following Clery guidelines for reporting and notifying the campus community is an important part of crime prevention that we take extremely seriously." Alexandra Reyes thought she had an airtight case of sexual misconduct for LSU to investigate. The investigation was triggered after several women came forward with allegations that they were sexually assaulted or abused by LSU students and athletes, but said that LSU officials failed to fully investigate their complaints. LSU has commissioned its own investigation from the law firm Husch Blackwell over potential violations of Title IX, the federal law that prevents universities from discriminating against students based on their gender. The Husch Blackwell report is expected to be completed later this month. Two years ago, the NCAA, SEC and LSU’s president and top legal counsel were all warned that LSU’s athletics department had potentially run afo… USA Today first reported last year that LSU had botched investigations into rapes and domestic violence incidents involving student-athletes, including former Washington Football Team running back Derrius Guice and former LSU wide receiver Drake Davis. Several other women also said that LSU did not thoroughly investigate their allegations of sexual misconduct involving non-athletes as well. And The Advocate reported last year that even when LSU found students responsible for violating Title IX, the university issued weak punishments in many instances. This is a developing story. Check back later for more.

i think coach corn will be a great asset to auburn football and i hope so with that name. first time someone sees him struggle they will be calling him coach cornball.

247sports.com 'Coach Corn' ready to 'go the extra mile' for Auburn ByNathan King 13-17 minutes If a kid grows up in the state of Alabama, dreaming of being a college football coach, then Cornelius Williams’ fast rise in the industry would probably be a surreal manifestation of that fantasy. In the past 20 years, Williams has left the state just once for football — four years as a player at Hoover High School, four years as a player at Troy, a grad assistant at South Alabama in 2010, one year out of state as receivers coach for Murray State in 2011, then returning to coach receivers at UNA in 2012, Jacksonville State in 2013, UAB in 2014, Troy from 2015-20 and now Auburn in 2021. That journey began for Williams as a two-star wide receiver prospect for coach Rush Propst at Hoover. Out of high school, Williams had three offers: UAB, Louisiana-Monroe and Troy. In 2006, he committed to Troy in large part because of his bond with the Trojans receivers coach at the time, Neal Brown. Brown, now the head coach at West Virginia, was Williams’ position coach for his first two years before being promoted to Troy’s offensive coordinator after Tony Franklin left his post for Auburn. Williams caught 63 passes in his career for 764 yards and seven touchdowns. Now just over a decade removed from graduating college, Williams was the youngest assistant hired to new Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin’s inaugural staff on the Plains — and he was the only one without a tangible, easily explained connection to Harsin in the coaching industry. Harsin’s assistant staff otherwise includes two former Auburn players (Cadillac Williams and Zac Etheridge), three coaches from the SEC last season, a couple of whom Harsin said he’s wanted to coach with for a long time (Derek Mason, Mike Bobo and Will Friend), two carryovers from his Boise State staff (Jeff Schmedding and Brad Bedell), and one coach Harsin routinely faced off against in the Mountain West (Bert Watts). Even new defensive line coach Nick Eason, who comes over from the NFL, is tied to Mason, after he tried to hire Eason before at Vanderbilt. So what made Williams stand out to Harsin in favor of some other offensive assistants from the head coach's past who he might know better? “He’s been here in Alabama and understands Auburn and what that stands for and what that means,” Harsin said. “It’s important to him. As we had our conversations and I got to be around him, just the energy and excitement and the opportunity to be here. This is, for many of us, a dream opportunity and a chance to be at a program like this. Nobody exudes that more than him and he’s jumped in with both feet. He’s been great in meetings. Been great around the players. He’s very good at recruiting and very good at connecting.” Harsin cited his own relationship with Brown, too, and how highly recommended Williams came from the former Troy coach, who mentored Williams as a player and as an assistant when Brown was Troy’s head coach. “I’ve known Cornelius since he was 18 years old,” Brown told Auburn Undercover. “Watching his progression as a coach, it’s really been a special thing, because I think he’s developed himself into one of the best receiver coaches in the country.” Emanuel Thompson and his teammates were plenty disciplined. They did their part off the field and in the weight room, always hustling to get to the Troy football complex, waking up before 5 a.m. for workouts at 6 a.m. No matter how hard they tried, they could never get there before "Coach Corn." “When we get there early — 5:30, 5:15 — he (Williams) would always beat us,” said Thompson, who played receiver at Troy from 2014-17. “He’s already in the weight room, working out. And on top of that, he does a couple reps with us and conditions with us. "So when you see that type of leadership from your position coach, head coach, strength and conditioning coach, any of your coaches, it turns a different type of mental inside of you. It gives you that perspective: ‘How can I not when he is?’” After Thompson’s freshman season at Troy, in which the team went 3-9, longtime head coach Larry Blakeney retired, opening the door for a new regime, with Brown returning, this time as head coach — and with Williams returning to his alma mater, too. “We had a lot of the same team going into my sophomore year,” Thompson said. “But the new coaching staff that came in, they gave a different type of energy, and Corn (Williams) was a big part of that.” Thompson and his position mates quickly realized they were in good hands with Williams. Troy’s wide receiving corps prior to the 2015 season was a thin group, with a couple of players even coming over from defensive back to add depth, Thompson said. That didn’t temper Williams’ expectations for his new pupils, though. “He didn’t want to come in and make us one of the top receiving corps in the Sun Belt; he wanted to be one of the top receiving corps in the nation,” Thompson said. “With us, that was big for a first-year coach as far as expectations with a bunch of guys you didn’t recruit. He kind of molded us as a unit.” Williams possesses an “elite” coaching style, according to Thompson. It’s one that places a greater emphasis on showing rather than telling. The biggest plus for Williams is that, when he started at Troy, it had been only seven years since he last played wide receiver in college. If one of his players messed up a drill, instead of instructing him on how to fix it for next time, Williams lined up and executed the drill himself, Thompson said. Show, don’t tell. “He makes things easy, man,” said Thompson, who noted that simplifying an offense was important early on with Williams, since Troy’s receiving corps wasn’t very experienced. Aside from Troy’s transplants from the defensive side of the ball, Thompson himself wasn’t a receiver by training, either. He was only in his second season playing the position after being signed as a standout quarterback from Clayton, Alabama. “[Williams] made things easier as far as reading coverages, reading defenses,” Thompson said. “When we’re watching and breaking down film, he made those types of things very easy, as well. So it’s a lot of things that, in my opinion, you would have to go the extra mile to be successful at that position. And he did just that.” Williams’ intensity and optimism was infectious for Troy’s offense. He developed an unbreakable relationship with his players, so they respected him not only as a coach, but as a friend, too. That created mutual respect in practice and game settings, which Thompson said was of vital importance to he and his teammates. “He’s very easy to talk to, and very outspoken,” Thompson said. “He’ll let you know when you mess up or whatnot, and he really doesn’t mind calling you out on your s***, neither, just man to man. And I like that about him. That mental part mattered a lot to all of us." During his six seasons coaching receivers at Troy, 14 of Williams' players were named All-Sun Belt. Thompson was one of three players to first-team honors when he caught 80 passes for 820 yards as a junior. In 2019, a Troy receiver went over 100 yards in 11 different games, setting a program record. Emanuel Thompson (8) (Photo: Mickey Welsh / Syndication: Montgomery Advertiser, USA TODAY Sports) One of Thompson’s favorite things about Williams were his in-game adjustments. When Troy’s wideouts would trot off the field after the first couple series of a game, they were met with tons of questions, as Williams worked to confirm what he was seeing from the defense. “When we come back to the sideline during games, he gets me and asks, ‘Hey, what are they doing to y’all?’” Thompson said. “And I’m able to tell him the small things, tell him they’re playing me ahead, or playing 2-3 inches outside, he’s stabbing with the inside arm. We’re able to go over specifics in the middle of a game, and he comes back with a counter. He goes, okay, let’s try this release, let’s do this differently. “Being able to make those quick, in-game adjustments as if he was playing with you, man, it’s king. It’s king. I can’t really stress that enough. If you are — and I’d say this to any player in the nation — if your position coach never played that position, you’re missing out.” Neal Brown admits he was probably too tough on Williams. But as he put it, it’s difficult to break away from the player-coach relationship that was ingrained in the two of them from when Williams was in college. Brown played wide receiver, too, at Kentucky and UMass. So when he returned to Troy as head coach in 2015 — with Williams on his staff — he often peered over Williams’ shoulder during practices. That’s why Brown thinks the past two seasons — after he left to take the West Virginia job — were important for Williams’ coaching development. “I think it was a really great opportunity for him the last two years,” Brown said. “Even though I respected him, my background is a receiver, so I was probably unfair to him because I didn’t totally turn him loose. I think that, in conversations with him about football since then, I think over the last two years, him really being able to take ownership of that, I think that’s greatly improved his ability to teach — to grow his guys and develop them on his own.” When Chip Lindsey took over the Troy program prior to the 2019 season, Williams was retained on staff. The former Auburn offensive coordinator quickly realized he didn’t have much teaching to do with the young Williams, as Troy’s wide receivers routinely produced as one of the most consistent groups in the Sun Belt. Cornelius Williams at practice (Photo: Troy Athletics) "He's one of the brightest young coaches in America," Lindsey told Auburn Undercover. "Very detail-oriented, has a great relationship with his players. He works extremely hard, and he'll do a great job there for Coach Harsin." Brown wasn’t surprised when he started hearing buzz about Williams taking over for Kodi Burns on Harsin’s staff, and he was ecstatic to speak with Harsin about one of his former assistants. “I know Neal, and Neal does a great job at that wide receiver position,” Harsin said. “So you know where guys were taught from and you know some of the things that they've learned through their coaching career and the type of details that a guy's going to bring. You can see that with Coach Williams.” When Harsin touched on the addition of Williams last week, he noted that his new assistant has “knowledge in some areas where he's going to help us with the scheme” and will help Harsin and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo in putting together the “system” that will become Auburn’s offense in 2021 and beyond. Williams did the same for Brown at Troy. As Thompson alluded to, “Coach Corn” is always looking for an advantage with his receivers, whether that’s installing some new concepts in practice or making changes on the fly on a Saturday afternoon. “He’s going to be a great staff guy for Coach Harsin,” Brown said. “And I think he’s a guy that not only in those areas, but for me, he had scheme ideas. I think he’ll be in more leadership roles in college football in the future.” Williams’ cell phone ringer was always up. He told — better yet, he demanded — that his players give him a call whenever they felt the slightest urge to. Whatever the reason, Williams wanted to be there for them, day and night. Thompson suspects it won’t take long for Auburn’s wide receivers to develop the same bond with Williams that he and his teammates cherished so much. “He’s that type of person who says to always call,” Williams said. “He’s that type of person, he’s that type of man. He would much rather you call before you decide to drive home drunk from a bar after a big win. He told us to ring him and say, ‘Hey, coach. I’ve had one too many. Can you come pick me up?’ And he’ll be there ASAP, no questions asked.” As Thompson put it, Williams’ personality off the field mirrors how he approaches coaching — easy, simple, always “going the extra mile,” doing “the little things to get over the hump.” That’s why Thompson sees the addition of Williams as a valuable asset for Auburn in the recruiting department. He thinks it won’t take long for a young prospect to latch on and view Williams as a close friend and confidant, as Thompson and his teammates still do to this day. Cornelius Williams (Photo: Troy Athletics) 11COMMENTS “He can relate to a lot of things that are modern for today’s time and today’s players,” Thompson said. “He can recruit an 18-year-old and 19-year-old and relate to things that kid is going through as a teen. He can bring him in, since he played college ball not long ago, he’s able to mold a lot of those things for kids coming in who really have no guidance.” Williams would be the first to say he’s nowhere near a finished product as a coach. Brown and Thompson — from opposite perspectives of teacher and student — both said they watched Williams grind away, day by day, always questioning and tweaking, in hopes of making any sort of tangible improvement with his players, on and off the gridiron. “He’s hungry to learn,” Brown said. “And what I mean by that is that he was always trying to improve his craft as a coach. Not just on his receiver knowledge, but also how to teach, how to run a meeting, how to lead. “... He’s just now scratching the surface of what he’s going to be as a coach. I think he’s got a ton of growth still ahead.” Thompson isn’t a lifelong Auburn fan, but now that he lives less than two hours away, he’s looking forward to diving in as a fan of the Tigers in order to support his former coach. He said he’s excited to catch a few games in Jordan-Hare Stadium this fall and hopefully catch up with his good friend. And like Brown, Thompson doesn’t think SEC assistant coach is the ceiling for Williams. “One day I think he’ll have his own team with his own group of coaches,” Thompson said. “He’s just that caliber of coach. It didn’t surprise me at all when I saw his name come up at Auburn. He’ll succeed there and wherever he goes. Everyone will tell you, man, it’s just a pleasure to know him.” ">247Sports
