AuburnNTexas 7,334 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 While I didn't agree with Mikey standing by Gus to the end I did admire the fact that he felt he is the coach of my team so I will stand by him. So to be honest I expected the same thing with the new coach he is the new coach of my team so I will stand by him. When it became obvious Gus was not going to turn the corner most of us wanted a new coach but Mikey stood by his team's coach that was something to admire even if if I disagreed, but now to basically knock everything a new coach is trying to do under very difficult circumstances seems like Mikey no longer stands by the coach of his team. Mikey what happened to the person whose blind loyalty to the coach of his team I disagreed with but could admire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,884 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 It’s not even possible to try to compare the two classes. The recruiting landscape is completely different now than it was in 2010. For one thing transfers has basically become a free agency type of situation where you can immediately add a player for a number of positions to help give you immediate depth at the very least and in some cases you can get an impact player. Remember that while transfers are important they do not count in recruiting rankings. Another big factor is that there is now a December signing period where there wasn’t in 2010. In 2010 you could have a good season to help you generate enough buzz to make somewhat of an impact on your final recruiting class in February. Now that we have a December signing. Guys are committed earlier and shutting things down with approximately 80% of kids committed by early signing day. Even though this cycle is slower so far in terms of commitments nationwide I do still think a heavy majority of commitments will be made by the December signing period and signed in the early period. That doesn’t leave much room or time to sway many prospects, especially quality prospects for the class Who may remain. As of now the game plan by our staff is to do kind of like what Florida State is doing in that the first full recruiting cycle with a new staff, being this year we are going to try to sign about 15 to 18 quality kids from high school and Juco and try to fill any gaps via the transfer market all the while working on those relationships for 2023 and 2024 to have better classes from a high school ranks going forward. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing WDE predict we'll have up to 9 more commits by the time the season starts, I was wondering if that meant they were possibly going to sign as full a class as we could from high school and JUCO, contrary to what I was thinking. I'd actually prefer that we be selective in who we take. It's certainly worked out for Clemson, and the only hurdle I see to getting where Clemson is revolves around playing in the SEC as opposed to the ACC...which may not be as big a deal if we end up going to a 12 team playoff format, as I expect we will.

Could have up to 9. Told we should. But it is recruiting and these are kids. Just a reminder. Some folks here love to call me out if I'm wrong here. I'm not worried one bit about recruiting right now. Not one bit. Going to be a fun year in 2021 IMO. I'm looking forward to see what we have in this staff. Some great football coaches on this staff. 7 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad to hear that we're that close on that many players the coaches like. Hell, if we pick up half that many commitments from quality players while still having a solid shot at the others, that's plenty good enough for me for this season. Have you heard anything regarding how many high school/JUCO kids the staff wants to take this cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of our coaches are introducing themselves (via zoom I might add) to players, whereas Chizik’s staff already had established relationships with players. It will take a few years for this group, but this is a huge recruiting principle: Winning Sells!!! If these guys start winning consistently, something no other AU coaching staff has ever done, you will see top 5-8 recruiting classes consistently as well. Isn't every hired made "for long term success and direction of the football program"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he meant is that Harsin was hired with long term goals being the ones most prevalent, rather than hiring someone with the best chance to come in and succeed quickly at the cost of long term success. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing day is two months sooner, and recruiting was all over Zoom conferences until a month ago, meaning the coaches weren't able to use Auburn to sell Auburn (or visit recruits to get their foot in the door), but hey yeah it'll all be EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT WAS IN 2010!!! Oh yeah, btw, let's make a comparison that makes Harsin look worse than a coach who won more than 8 games exactly one time in his entire head coaching career. That's sure to knock all those optimists who understand butthurt when they see it off their pedestals. you fogot yankees talk fast and are hard to understand............lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
