So This Makes...

#1 Prospect from Arkansas (Michael Dyer)
#1 Prospect from Louisiana (Trovon Reed)
#1 Prospect from Mississippi (Shon Coleman)
Locked.

#1 Prospect from Texas (Lache Seastrunk) - Pretty damn likely now that Reed is here.
#1 Prospect from South Carolina (Marcus Lattimore) - If he leaves the state, he's ours.

We need to gun for DeMarcus Milliner (Alabama, uat commit). Don't you want to play where the #1 guys in every other state in the south want to play?

Jacques Smith (TN), Matt Elam (GA), & Jeff Luc (FL) should take a look too.

Before RWS shits his pants, I was kidding about the last two paragraphs.

War Damn Eagle!

A sad stat that I just noticed in researching the above post:

The state of Kentucky has no prospects in the top 250.

Wow.

Seastrunk is on his way to LSU or USCw. AU is still OK here, because they got Dyer, and he is the better prospect out of the two. Seastrunk is immature as hell according to accounts from analysts at camp, etc, and probably isn't durable enough to be an every down back. Dyer is a fucking man child. As for Shon Coleman, that may be a close one......

If those guys do hang on though, thats fairly impressive to pull the top players out of three nearby states.

Personally, I would use a different adjective then "fairly".  Especially considering the last couple of years recruiting-wise.

You are spot on in your analysis of Seastrunk. He is a prima donna. He likes the attention. He definitely is a better fit at LSU or USC with his personality. Would I take him though? Hell yes.

And according to ESPN rankings, Antonio Goodwin in the #3 recruit in Georgia (with the top 2 going to Florida and Miami.

Also according to them, Georgia only got 1 of the top 7 recruits in the state.  The others went to Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Miami, Notre Dame, and Tennessee.

I've never felt that way about Seastrunk.  He's kind of a class clown personality, loves joking and having fun, but in the live interviews I've seen (and from what coaches say, including Saban), he's a very, very respectful (yes sir, yes m'am) kind of kid. 

He takes his relationship with God and his parents very serious, and while he's kind of a crack-up, fun loving kid, I don't get the impression it's out of being self-absorbed or thinking he's above anyone or anything.  When he got invited to play in that elite group in Florida, he went on and on about what an honor it was to be selected.  He didn't go on and on about it being a an opportunity to "displaying my skillz for everyone to see how great I am", which is what you get from a lot of kids these days. 

Anyway, I really think he's a character, but not in a bad way.

Agreed.

He reminds me of the Irons Bros. When he talks shit, it's in a playful funny way.

It never hurts to sign some elite talent. But that is only if they are elite after they get on campus as well. Seastrunk may have been good for inflating your recruiting rankings and making AU look attractive to other recruits, but he probably will bust. But its not like you guys have a limited number of scholarships to give out or anything.

Curious about why you think he'll be a bust?

Have you watched his film?  And yeah, anyone can end up a bust, no matter how great they looked on film in high school, but I just don't know what about him makes you think he'll be a bust anymore than Dyer or your punt return specialist Grant.

I've read on the Rivals mainboard from fans of teams who haven't even offered Seastrunk about how he taunts and points his fingers in other players faces if he burns them at camps, about how he has little fits at camps, etc etc. Even from LSU boards when they thought they were in the lead for his services, for that matter. And imagine that, the only reason Saban would know anything about Seastrunk was from Seastrunk calling CNS to apologize for....guess what.....taunting in a video of a recruiting event shot by AuburnSports.com. Thats fine that he's all polite and all about God on the camera, and all that jazz. I think the kid has character issues.

I love how also you get this "vibe' or opinion from and after reading LSU boards and other boards from teams that might not sign the kid.

I haven't seen shit that you've talked about on the Auburn boards.

You don't say? The only reason I believed it from the LSU boards was because they were saying it while still saying they led for him, thus, not equating sour grapes. If they said it say, today, I would have thought more along the lines of BS. I just think hearing it from other fans from teams not in the running gives a sense of neutral opinion.

But hey, I will defer to what I'm sure is your opinion; best RB since Bo, holier than Tebow, and already has his AU LOI filled out.

Please enlighten the board on how ALL the services have him ranked as high as they do, but you have him as a likely bust?  I'm fuckin' dying to read this!  No, really I'm not!  Fact is, you don't know shit.  It's a WAG on your part at best, and my guess is you think he'll go to AU and you want to be at the head of the bash Seastrunk train when  he does. 

Due to Tate's success this year, people are completely forgetting that we signed 4*, 5'-10" 216lbs, 4.5,  Dontae Aycock in the 2009 class, and he's redshirting.  Eric Smith has done nicely and will be a Jr....he can carry the ball between the tackles AND catch.  Fannin has one more year.  McCaleb isn't an every down back, but contributed well before the ankle problem.  Then the kid this year, Dyer.  Auburn aint hurting for RBs if Seastrunk goes to LSU, USC, or Bust City!

Bust City!

I just really don't think he's durable enough for SEC play. I'm sure he will put on another 20 lbs or so, I just don't think he has the football mind to play in the SEC. In part, yes, its just a guess. But shit, isn't that at least half of recruiting? I can show you a some guys that were 4* and 5* that are on Alabama's roster, and they have 3* talent beating them out for starting spots. Why did all of the recruiting services have them ranked so highly, and there are 3* guys starting ahead of them?

AU's depth at RB is actually something I thought that would keep Seastrunk away from AU at this point. More so now that Dyer is in the mix. I stated this in the other thread before you even posted this. LSU is losing their first and second string RB, and their third string is a bust. They have one 3* RB for this class, and that is it. The writing is on the wall. The depth chart at LSU looks much better as far as PT than it does at AU. I really don't think he wants to compete with Dyer, because he will lose. I just really don't see him coming to AU.

I think our recruiters will be evoking Ronnie Brown/Cadillac to sell Auburn.

I like big busts and I can not lie.
