What happened to Gene Chizik's first two recruiting classes at Auburn?

[djsimp]

Ol' Jon Soloman forgot to add that two of uat's players (WR Melvin Ray & RB Corey Grant) are now on Auburn's roster.

He didn't forget.

They don't count since they weren't wanted anyway.

Ray spent 3 years away from football. Good luck with that. And I'm not so sure that Grant is going to fare much better at AU than he would have at UA.

Exactly.

I have to disagree on Grant.

[GH2001]

I have to disagree on Grant.

Ditto. He can't go any lower than scout team (UA), aside from quitting.

2009 Signing Class
14 out of 18, or 77.8%, still on AU roster (6 initially didn't qualify from the signing class & 3 JUCO players)


2010 Signing Class
23 out of 28, or 82.1%, still on AU roster (1 initially didn't qualify from the signing class & 3 JUCO players) the 3 blind mice were in this class as well

Every team has attrition, I can live with these percentages.

Good stuff.

Just learned yesterday that he also included the likes of Cam, Fairley, Brandon Mosley, and I think one or two other CC/JC/Prep Schoolers that contributed heavily as those "no longer on the roster" to get his percentages, but fails to mention that so that he can use "no longer on the roster" in a totally negative light.

Also, the NCAA has a built in 15% attrition rate in it's 25 per year/85 man roster rule anyway.

I updated the percentages, taking out the JUCO players.

So, to answer Solomon's fucking stupid article....Nothing "happened", most of the two signing classes are still on campus.

[JR4AU]

At any rate, it's simply a hit piece, another in a long line, that gerrymanders numbers to create a bad light for Auburn.  I guess it couldn't have included Cam if it was calling 2008 Gene's first class, but either way, it's stupid.
