OT: OFFICIAL AUBURN PLAYERS JUMPING SHIP THREAD

I feel like this is just a byproduct of good recruiting. Boog fans used to get upset or laugh when kids got "processed" at Bama but that's just exactly what's happened here. Leaves a little wanting in the depth but all those guys were upgraded on in this past recruiting class.

Typically when a Bama receiver gets passed over by a younger player, that player is a future first rounder.

their receiving yards for receivers were worse than AU's last year. Calvin Ridley led the way just like Ryan Davis did for AU and then the next leading guy only had 14 catches.....

So no.

Thanks for the positive outlook, rice.
 
2016 is a prime example of Gus' deceptive recruiting efforts. 9th ranked Recruiting Class according to 24/7 composite rankings, but let's dig a little deeper.

(11) 3* signees.
(2) CBs signed
(1) Safety signed
(2) QBs signed, neither should've been. Barrett and JFIII
(1) OL Signed - 3* BroadHamm
That is so bad.

About 5 of those guys were kicked off the team. That’s not “abandoning ship”
 
Rice agrees with you.
Well your wording is just hyperbolic and sensationalized. I have a hard time blaming Gus for Landon Rice potentially being a rapist or Jovon leaving a teammate for dead, or Rlijah Daniel stealing a bunch of shit, or Sean White and KD’s substance abuse. In fact you could argue that Gus protected those guys way too long. I just think some people on this site claim to be “realists” but they’re actually the sensationalizing the most

Oh and Duke Williams broke a teammate’s jaw but to you he “abandoned ship.”

Please tell us more about how being considered guilty until proven innocent makes any ****ing sense in a nation of laws. Jovon was a known problem child when Gus recruited him, twice. Sean White should've never been recruited.

I'm somewhere in the middle between @MomentInTheSun and @WDE_Tarp. Some of this is on the players but most of this is on the program. Piss poor evaluation, recruiting, and leadership is a huge portion of why we're sitting here with one of the worst OLs and defensive backfields in the SEC and one of our worst starting QBs beyond 20 yards ever. Sean White was better beyond 20 yards than Stidham is over the last 2 seasons.
 
if Gus isn’t transferring, all these arguments are a waste of time anyway. Doesn’t matter why anybody has left. He signed off on every single one of them playing football for AU. And there seems to be lot of “waste” for just a few classes. That’s on him. No matter the reasons.
