so 7 Auburn coaches are gonna be out and about on their 1st ever "Tiger Prowl" (which when you sub the word Tiger for Cougar, sounds kinda like what hot ladies in their 40s do) selling the Auburn program to the top recruits in the state of Alabama. which is you know, like awesome and stuff. i mean, rolling up to some 16/17 year old kid's house in a white limo with an AU logo on the side is the sort of ridiculous stunt that might very well impress a possible recruit. all i really hope is that they can find some future NFL talent, because watching last weekend's draft was a painful reminder to me that as far as recruiting and developing talent goes...Auburn has totally fallen off. just looking at the 2004 and 2005 recruiting classes (aka the ones that would've been directly influenced by the 2004 SEC Title and undefeated season we are all so proud of, Auburn hasn't been doing so hot at doing much with that talent.
the 04 class only had four 4 star recruits. 1 of them got drafted last year (Pat Sims) and the other 3 (Leon Hart, Tony Bell, & Lemarcus Rowell) either never made it to campus or never played a roll for the Tigers at all. members of that class who did make it to the NFL were Tyronne Green (who was a 2 star DT) and David Irons. Tristan Davis and Brad Lester were also members of that class that went undrafted this last weekend and are still waiting to receive free agent contracts. that's a pretty fucking terrible recruiting class if you ask me.
the 05 class had eight players with a 4 star grade or higher (Tray Blackmon being the lone 5 star and most notable bust in recent memory) and of those players None have been drafted and only Montez Billings, Tommy Trott, & Gabe McKenzie are still members of the team and i can't imagine any of them are locks to be NFL players. all the players from that class who were drafted were 3 stars or lower and include Jerraud Powers, Jonathan Wilhite, and Sen'Derrick Marks (who was a 2 star)...but that's it. just 3 players. there are still some guys from that class who contribute to the team like Aarion Savage, Walter McFadden, & Antonio Coleman and each of those 3 may very well have an NFL future but considering that was Auburn's recruiting class following their greatest season in school history...well you gotta say to all these claims that Tuberville quit recruiting look pretty valid.
whatever this new coaching staff does, they need to find some NFL talent again...or it's down to the cellar for Auburn. i mean fucking San Jose State had as many players get drafted as Auburn did this year.
upgrading to a stretch Hummer is a good start...i hope. althought you guys really should've thought about a hybrid.
also for the safety of our coaching staff i hope Saban isn't planning on busting out the BAMA Tank again.
