Regular a$$-kickin'....
Reply With QuoteTubby is a good coach, but I think his recruiting is suspect. You would think that with Cadillac, Brown and all the other RB's they would have a solid stable of backs to choose from. WTF? With Florida, SC with Spurrier, Tenn, LSU, I think Auburn and the others get the scraps. Just my opinion though, but I am too afraid to think I am right.
I sometimes wonder what really makes these kids choose one school over another... (when money isn't flashed up front...)
I play on a softball team with a guy (offensive line but graduated now) that Tubbs recruited real hard. He was likely to be a first stringer at some point but one of his knees got messed up.
Said after that the hospitality sort of dried up and he quit the team after a couple of seasons. I'm sure the same sort of things happen most other places too, but after getting to know him I got the feeling that the business aspect can make the players less loyal to a tradition than the fans are.
AU will always have always have some good recruits... anybody with the name Damian, Marquis, etc. has to go to Auburn.
