GreenTiger 1,057 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 It was reported that Tank was on the fence and thinking of leaving. Also reports explained that Harsin personally sat with Tank and talked him off the ledge. I have no reason to believe that these reports are not true. Now…. Tank is not one of Harsins ”guys”. He is also our best player and a highly ranked recruit. This report refutes the negative rumors about Harsin not wanting to go after good players and not taking time to get to know players situations and being content with his blue collar three star recruits. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWALA Tiger 3,616 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Positive recruiting insider on that side if anyone is interested in some positive recruiting news and not the usual Harsin shortcomings on recruiting that get regurgitated over and over.

Sarcasm intended for another poster who seems to believe that 2020 was somehow a splendid season since we finished 6-5 instead of 6-7. I didn't say 2020 was a splendid season. I did and do say that 2020's 6-5 against major competition is vastly better than 2021's 3-7 against major competition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird And yet, the QB who broke Auburn's career yardage record jumped ship for another program. Who was smart, Bo or Shrenker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can say u waffle Do you charge Gus rent? He sure stays in your head. You should get something for all the discomfort he causes you. You even mention him when nobody else is thinking about him. He's got plenty of money, demand a raise in the rent he pays you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was smart, Bo or Shrenker? I'd say the one that remained in the system that allowed him to set the record. I look at Bo's post season very similarly as I looked at Lincoln Riley's. Probably the smartest move professionally, but not necessarily a good look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been super high on Dee Davis. I think he will do great, but I don't think he will necessarily do great things at Auburn. That is a fit issue, not a Dee issue or a Harsin issue. Sometimes things just don't line up like we want. As far as recruiting, you were freaking before ENSD, then he came through and you even admitted he did well. He failed miserably on NSD and hasn't yet made any noise in the portal. That doesn't change the work he did up to December, not is it an indicator of his or the staff's overall recruiting ability. It seems to me, he has a plan and is working the plan. Unfortunately, that plan doesn't mesh with the plan fans think is appropriate or necessary. We would’ve won the west if he had stayed healthy. So yes, he absolutely was a fit. Edited March 1, 2022 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ignore that fact in the attempt to tarnish CBH. To me, your point indicates we are heading in the right direction, being guided, possibly, by the right coach. We'll see if he's the right coach and I'll support him until he has had a reasonable chance to prove himself right or wrong. 14 months isn't reasonable, IMO. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Westbrook with the Lakers, Odell in Cleveland, or Lane Kiffen at bama. There are 100's of example of teams getting better when "stars" move on. Like it or not, no matter who's fault or the why it didn't work, Mason and Bo didn't fit into the program and culture CBH is trying to build. Knowing that, why would any want to remain in a difficult/uncomfortable situation if they didn't have to? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid Tank to stay. As for whether or not Harsin wants to go after good players, of course he does. If anyone said anything to the contrary, they misspoke. What remains to be seen is if Harsin is willing to do what it takes to get them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it would be a very different comment than the one he made. And it would be illogical to assume that the games play out in a similar fashion with a very different quarterback and type of team leader under center.

Couldn't that have potentially been a blessing in disguise that we didn't win the west last year? I know that sounds really bad to say but hear me out. If we did win the west, or beat Alabama, wouldn't that have reinforced in Harsin's mind that he does not need to change anything and that his recruiting philosophy is perfect the way it is (not going after top recruits). Kind of like Malzahn going to the National Championship in year one. It entrenched in his mind his offense couldn't ever be stopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
