Pickens is getting destroyed on the radio for the way he did his recruitment. Oddly enough even the kids at Hoover are giving him a hard time not because he picked Georgia but because of the jerk way he did it. Kid always had a big ego. My guess is that this pretty much locks Robbie Ashford and his big ego up for Ga.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I had a feeling when the location was different it may go south.....but to heck with it....Im happy for the guys choosing AU.....MAR, KB, K. Bell, C. Moore....If we can pull Henry I will take the rest of the day off and drink in celebration..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AubFanCT 180 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Honest question. Looking at our HUGE OLine needs and considering that we really don't throw a ton and even if we wanted to, that becomes difficult with no OLine as we saw this past year, would u take a recruiting trade of Bell & Henry for Pickens loss? I say give me the 2 OLinemen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off the way he did his recruitment....He may have been a problem in the locker room for all we know and later dismissed. You never know.....So yes I would much rather have the 2 OL even though Pickens makes us look better on paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide receiver was not a need for us and having said that, you take a 5 star guy all day long as we wanted to do with Pickens. He burned us, we will be fine. We need the OL in a bad way..

Please cancel that wire to the account of George Pickens. Here is where it needs to go. To a Mr. Kamaar Bell. And make it snappy.

AuMarine 1,403 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Pickens said he knew on Sunday night it was Georgia. The right thing to do would have been to call CGM and let him know your decision. Obviously Pickens is in to playing games and stringing people along. Karma has a way of working things out for those kind of people. We will see how it plays out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that has been my experience with people who have applied to both. Not sure if it’s different for athletes Are you sure that is the case with athletic scholarship signees or are you talking about non scholly students. Just guessing with scholly athletes we are close to the same as Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did anyone following those recruitments really think they were going to sign with AU? And JMO but you believe at your own risk what many of these kids say about who they favor.

Just guessing with scholly athletes we are close to the same as Miami. I just know that most undergrads who gain admission to Auburn could’ve gotten into Miami. I’ve had several friends that couldn’t get into Miami and chose Auburn instead. But I’m not sure how scholarship athletics works; I know the standards must be a little lower for athletes in general and might be more equal across programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
