Title: Hindsight is 50-50...
Post by: Tiger Wench on January 03, 2012, 02:54:26 PM
From Cleveland Heights, OH wide receiver Shelton Gibson:

@ramzyn Auburn it is! RT @JCozmo @ramzyn Shelton Gibson: "Auburn is on top right now. But OSU is neck-and-neck. I'd say it's 80% Auburn & 60% OSU."

So I guess we have an 80/60 chance of landing this guy?

Wait a minute.  maybe he's gonna major in statistics.  I have a formula that will make that work out just fine.

Maybe he should have said on a scale of 1-10,  AU is an 8 and tOSU is a 6. I'm gonna guess that's how he meant it.

We have an offer in to this guy and yet I have not read anything about him, I don't think... when did we become his first pick?

Prowler is slipping...

Probably because he is slated for the 2013 class.  Just a guess though.

And when did 60 and 80 become neck and neck?

60=80?   #winning

With a probability +/- 40%

Apparently this guy was Urban Cryer's very first offer... top WR in the state of Ohio going into his Senior year next year.  Some of the Suckeye faithful seem to think that Cryer's godlike coaching prowess will win the day, but the guy who appears to be their Prowler equivalent says "Auburn is his dream school"...

So what is the connection? Anyone?  Bueller?

The connection is this staff recruits the top players from all over the country...

And we've got a better than 2/3rd or 72% chance of landing him.

Yep, you can go look at the individual coach's pages on rivals, and the kid's they're targeting...we're going coast to coast, border to border.

60% of the time, it works every time.

Ok, let me rephrase...

The Suckeyes posters say Auburn is his dream school.  He contacted Auburn before AU recruited him.  He came to camp at Auburn over the summer and posted the fastest 40 time all week.  He made an unofficial visit for the Iron Bowl this year, before he got an offer from AU. 

I am not saying that it can't or shouldn't happen - of all the things I love about Chiz, his emphasis on recruiting anyone from anywhere is at the top of the list.  But this guy wanted us before we wanted him.  That makes me wonder why.  What makes a kid from OH so hot for Auburn? A family member? Cam? Bo? A preference for mild winters?  Blue and Orange are his favorite colors? Chizik's chin?

Just a curiosity question...

AWK may be on to something, but you probably hit a big key in your post.  We all like to think we can read the minds of 18 year old kids, but fact is, we can't.  Nobody but the kid, his parents, and some coaches close to him know what gets his tractor cranked.  Sometimes people simply come to Auburn and fall in love with AUBURN!

"Right now Oregon, Auburn, and Florida are the schools that I like," Gibson said. "I really would like to go to a speed type school, so that's why I like those schools." - (09/02/2011)
- Florida has probably been replaced by Ohio   State now.

Shelton received the Auburn offer shortly after the camp. Then he set up his visit to Auburn for the Iron Bowl. His tie to Auburn is Coach Troop and the relationship that they've built.

His teammate this past season, OL Kyle Dodson, is committed to Wisconsin, but is looking around...Auburn is one of the schools he's looking at, along with Ohio State. Gibson has stated that "having a big brother, like Dodson, would be a plus."
