I know the defensive coordinator at Moody. I guess this was the kid he was raving about, but it definitely concerns me that he hasn't played offense yet and we still offered him a scholarship.

He's played offensive line while at camps. So, the coaches definitely saw something, and I think Slade could be a stud. Ole Miss' OL Coach was pretty high on him and was hoping that he could steal him. As far as his Grillz ratings, he can only go up.

A quote from the Rivals interview:

Quote

"He was offered a couple of days ago," Slade's stepfather Joseph Shorter said. "He thought about it and said he wanted to be at Auburn and wanted to be a War Eagle".

"He knew he wanted to be a War Eagle, because if he grew up to worship Saban he would end up a dirt road alumni answering telephones for a living..."

Wow, thats the very BEST you could come up with? What exactly is it that you do for a living again?

No, the best I could come up with would be the look of disappointment on your father's face the moment you told him you had taken a job normally reserved for women. Or a video of your wife masterbating to thought of fucking a real man. Or a tape of the discussion everyone you grew up with had when the heard what a pussy you grew up to be, "really, a phone operator. hahahaha!!". But since I don't have any of those, my reply will have to do. Sorry to disappoint, but the way your life turned out, you should be used to it.

So, what is it you do for a living again? If you're wanting me to be ashamed of making over $35k a year for working 14 days out of a month in a government job, with state benefits and retirement, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. I am our town's Assistant Fire Chief as well, so you can go ahead and scratch the pussy comment as well.

Specialty medical sales. Sorry, our company already has a receptionist or I would hook you up. All of our other jobs require a college degree, so that would rule you out.

So, you are a sales rep? What kind of degree do you have, and from what school?

280TIGER · « **Reply #10 on:** July 25, 2009, 02:01:50 PM »

Marketing degree. MBA at UAB.

So, do you work out of TX? And what makes you so much better than me just because you sell bedpans, incontinence supplies, and raised toilet seats?

No offense dude, but you'd say this about that gay guy on American Idol if AU hooked him

I believe this is the "Chizik-effect" Prowler spoke of before.

Slade is a very strong run blocker and he has really good feet for a guy that size, which means that even if his pass blocking is lacking, he'll get better at it...seeing that this will be his very first season on the OL and he'll be getting better. He'll be playing both ways, his Senior year, Left Tackle and Defensive End. As a Junior, in basketball, he averaged around 20 points and that was when he was around 6'2". That's not a typo, his HC stated that Slade hit a 4" growth spert and that he's going to get bigger. IMO, he'll top out at around 6'8". Kaos, I think I'll trust Coach Grimes on this one. He did a really good job at the Auburn camp, you know the camps that had a bunch of stud defensive linemen. Plus, Coach Dan Mullen wanted him, so if CDM feels that he's good for his offense, then there's a really good possibility that he'll be good for Coach Malzhan's.

Also, if that gay guy on AI was 6'6" over 310lbs., was a defensive lineman his previous couple of years and is a pretty good basketball player for his HS team...and he'd done a really good job at the camps against some stud defensive lineman, then yeah....I'd say the same about him.

I've already heard the Sen'Derrick Marks comparisons on this kid just because Sen'Derrick played basketball and was a kind of big guy. Blows my mind. Also, where are you getting your info on strengths or skill? ESPN doesn't even know this kid or anything, I couldn't find anything on Google either.

I do know his cousin went to AU though. Stacy Danley, but I don't really recognize the name.

280TIGER, where you at? You were pretty chatty up until this point. Its cool though, if I went to school and got a marketing degree I would wonder what the fuck I was doing selling bedpans too.

I could be wrong...my memory may be a bit vague...but I think Slade is able to do backflips. Bonafied superstar if you ask me.

If he's got a good head on his shoulders and is 6-6 300+ lbs... ....and can do backflips, then I don't give a monkey raping fuck what Kaos thinks. Get a blue uni on that kid, "sharpish". ($1 to Wes)
