I like to think back to days when Pat Dye could take a 2 star and make him an all SEC . Even Tubby could develop players, the last 3 coaches at AU just never showed me they have that ability. We complain about Saben getting all the talent but the truth is he develops that talent as well. His 3 stars become all Americans. If folks at AU think that all we need is about 20 5 stars to sign then I can assure you it won’t be in your life time. When Coach Dye was coaching, did the star rating system exist. All I remember was "bluechip" and the "Forest Davis Recruiting Report." (Knowing the name Forest Davis dates me!). Anyone else remember those reports? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be hurt. He didn't perform poorly anywhere he went. If by flaming out you meant the most talented athlete in the program then ok I'm nitpicking a little 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that particular word choice is all that controversial nor was it particularly vital to the point I was making. I was mainly using him as an example of someone who, despite their obvious talent, wound up at a "lesser school" and still went on to great things. While their reasons for leaving big time programs are different, there are some parallels between Randy Moss' story and Malik Willis'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryAU 1,893 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm just glad Willis made his choice to move on and received top notch coaching & training from Freeze, resulting in an exceptional pre-draft grade. Some big time schools like Auburn aren't ideal to bring out the best in an athlete, a place like Liberty with a coach like Freeze seems to be exactly what MW needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW would've been a star at AU under competent offensive coaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but Auburn didn't have competent offensive coaching a the time. MW made the absolute best decision for his football future, I believe he will do well in the pro's.

Just one violent treatment on the metaphorical toilet of fandom and just purge all that nasty stuff out so we can move on. Can you get that at the Gentral?

He will do well in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
