Let me be butt hurt over nothing too.
I’m confruzed. I know all of this is petty, and doesn’t matter in the big picture, but I want Auburn at the top of the heap in everything, and right now, that means recruiting. So, this weekend, U Free & Co. get a huge pick up in 5* Edge Rusher, Jared Smith. 6’6.5” 235. Boom!
Of course, I’m listening to my local sports talk this morning, Bama Nation Radio. Between breaking down every word from Karen DeBorez, the host grudgingly announces the commitment of Smith to Auburn. Says, he chose Auburn over the likes of Fuck Georgia, Tennessee and FSU. And at his press conference, DeBorez was asked about what units were standing out early.
Wait, was someone missing from that list? I go to 247 to see what’s up. Bama did offer the guy. Of course they did, but you have to click on the complete list of teams to find that out. Petty? Yes, but to me it’s like nobody wants to hear that Auburn beat out the Tahd for another one. Okay, that means nothing. But, I see that Auburn is now 5th in the nation with zero 5* guys and fourteen 4*. Hold on, isn’t Smith a 5*? Click on Auburn’s list, and yes, he and Malik Autry are both 5*….but not on the same recruiting service’s national rankings. So, 247 has Auburn with two 5* players, but 247 also has Auburn with no 5* players.
I’m sorry, but this staff is kicking ass like never before, and by Golly Miss Molly, I want the recognition.
