#1 WR Rueben Randle To Visit...

AuburnChopper 3.0 · « **on:** January 07, 2009, 11:47:04 PM »

Auburn this weekend. After a visit from Luper today, Randle has dropped OSU's visit, and will now visit Auburn this weekend, along with LaVoyd James and Terrance Coleman.

:thumbsup:

Holy shit.

Wow.

I'm all like "WTF?"

This is Auburn. We don't get attention from #1 prospects in the state let alone the entire damn country. I know we don't really have a shot in hell, but I'm still thoroughly impressed that we're getting these guys to visit.

Chizic was the worst hire ever!

I thought the same thing when I heard that we were going to go after Tyrik Rollison and Bryce Brown. Speaking of which Coach Luper will be stopping by to see Bryce Brown today. :thumbsup:

Don't these guys understand that none of these prospects fit the Auburn mold?

he's going to LSU, but its still fun to see you guys get all excited. not a bad job pulling a visit from him, though.

And you talked to him when??? These guys are decommitting left and right. I don't know squat about this kid or what his mindset is, but what's to prevent him from coming in here and falling in love with the place and/or seeing the opportunityt to be the man right away?

Don't you know? RWS is required to blow the #1 rated receiver in the country every year. It started with Whoolio. If RWS had known they were going to fall madly and passionately in love and go gang banging (in both possible meanings of the term) every weekend together he probably wouldn't have signed on to be the national puffer.

its not a HUGE secret, according to him LSU and Alabama are pretty much at the top of his list. personally i didn't think we had that much of a shot at him to begin with, i just don't think he will go out of state. its not a knock to AU, he's just one of those that would be a miracle for anybody to pull out of LA. it would be a miracle if he went to Alabama or AU.

Reporting on scout that Randle is no longer on the visit list for this weekend. Maybe we don't have enough money.

Jumbo · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2009, 02:29:16 PM »

Rws is Farva! He's the the inside source we all teabag!

Randle's dad isn't sure about the visit. His head coach confirmed it with Rivals.

Also, RWS is right. The kid is LSU bound unless we do some serious cruitin'. However, it did get Auburn in the recruiting papers and kids will notice that top prospects visit Auburn.

We JUST got the visit confirmed LAST NIGHT. It might be a "courtesy visit", but the fact he's coming says a lot about what our new staff is doing. I love how even though it's happening now, with an all new staff that was evidently persuasive enough to convince him to visit Auburn, that RWS KNOWS anything.... fucking douche.

There's a possibility that Rueben Randle won't be able to visit this weekend, it depends on if his father is able to get off of work in time to make the trip with him. We won't know anything until tomorrow sometime.

RWS doesn't know shit. He hasn't talked to this kid or his coach or his parents or anybody else. Neither has anyone else on this board. If he comes here for a visit, he's coming for a reason and our new coaching staff has the chance to pimp Auburn to him (A place I'm sure he's never been to) and let him see that he could be the man right away if he comes.

Look, what the hell did we say over and over and over to spin Saban's recruiting classes? Well? "Oh, the only reason Saban is getting these guys is they've sucked and he can offer them the chance to step in and play right away" Right? Anyone recall that?

If everyone believes what they ripped Saban for, then why can't that happen here? Do we need WR's? Do we need a QB? Do we need a lot of playmakers?

Exactly. All of it.

It looks like Randle was not able to visit this weekend on such a short notice, but plans on visiting later this month. ----per rivals

:thumbsup:

Actually it was said also that Randle could have made it this weekend, but his father couldn't so AUBURN told him, it would be better for his father to be there and to reschedule. That went over very positively with the Randle household. He WILL reschedule.

AuburnChopper 3.0 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 09, 2009, 04:54:31 PM »

Being reported by some that Randle is now rescheduling his official visit to Auburn on February 4th. That would be interesting if true, because that's signing day. We'll have to see about that one....
