Auburn's recruiting class is making me sad

hey remember that pretty solid recruiting class that Tuberville had put together? yeah, well no surprise but it's pretty much fallen to pieces and we are left fighting for scraps and trying to gloss over the fact that Ole Miss is sweeping in to steal all the truly talented players from the class. bye bye Ray Cotton, we hardly knew ye.


Auburn lost out on Cotton but it did land a new QB, even if it wasn't the one i was hoping for, but i guess 1 QB is better than no QBs...but seriously a 3 star QB from from 2A High School in Alabama doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that this kid is any more than answer than the previous slew of QBs. Clint Moseley was Mr. Alabama this year(the first 2A player in the state's history to win the award). he's got great stats (3,758 yards and 35 touchdowns with only five interceptions & 670 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns). he also lead his team to a 15-0 record and the state title...actually he's lead the team to 3 state titles all 3 years as a starter (and won 3 MVP awards too). he's also a kicker...which might actually be more valuable if Wes Byrum loses his ability to make extra points again. all of that stuff screams to me that he's a diamond in the rough and a born winner...but then again, when's the last time a QB from the state of Alabama was actually worth a shit?

And JaMarcus...although that's up for debate. But point taken.
