The better stat is we are #11 on On3. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the stars system but its still interesting how THE #1 IOL in the nation is not a 5*. @aucanucktiger It's because On3 has him as a 3* & the #54 ranked IOL in the class.

Freeze has now recruited the same number of high school offensive linemen that Gus recruited in his last 3 years, and 2 times (plus 1) as many as Harsin in his 2 years. Welcome aboard the A-train, Mr. Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was Lincoln Riley and Chip Kelly not all over this guy being in his backyard? @Viper He wasn't as high on their board as he was on ours & 247 or ESPN rankings.

IOL don't get drafted in the 1st round often. 5*s are given to recruits projected to be 1st round picks. Little emphasis is based on college production in terms of star rankings. It's not a great system in that regard but that's how sites have often done it, even when they say they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,348 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Great pickup. Now lets find a way to get a couple more O-line in this class. Maybe a flip and a development type that they feel has the potential with the right coaching. WAR EAGLE and welcome to Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #1 IOL wasn't high on Lincoln Riley's & Chip Kelly's board? That seems quite odd. Considering Carter's final three schools were all at least a half the nation away, perhaps he wanted out of the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,845 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 He's visiting Texas next week. Can we hold on to him? I'll say it again, relying on first year results for recruiting is a recipe for disaster, especially with how badly the previous staff(s) screwed up our roster.

Proof of concept is a very nice way of saying "we need a miracle first season to gain any traction." Which simply wasn't going to happen.
