Title: Auburn Football & 5 Star Recruits Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 02, 2016, 08:14:51 PM Very interesting.
Quote There's no positive way to spin it no matter how much you bleed orange and blue. Roc Thomas asking for and receiving his release to transfer from Auburn after two less-than-stellar seasons isn't a good look. For him or for Auburn. Quote The running back from Oxford was the second of three straight winners of Alabama's Mr. Football award to sign with the Tigers, and so far, none of the three has developed into a breakout star. Quote Thomas is also the latest in a parade of five-star recruits who didn't or have yet to develop into five-star producers on the Plains. Since Gus Malzahn returned as head coach - not counting the 2016 class that has yet to suit up - Auburn has signed and played seven five-star recruits, according to Rivals.com. Not one of them has earned postseason honors for first-team All-SEC or first-team All-America. :dog: http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2016/06/no_positive_spin_when_5-star_m.html#incart_most-commented_sports_article Title: Re: Auburn Football & 5 Star Recruits Post by: ricky023 on June 02, 2016, 09:07:40 PM Well now you have to remember it is hard to get past the big Guns RB's at Alabama and that young man down at lsu. Hey you to be the big boy in town you got to beat the big boy that is in town! RTR!

Given this poor track record with 5-stars, why do highly rated players who have other options keep going there? (And don't say it's the ATM cards...)

Then they find out the girls wasn't worth their choice and their heart is not in it. RTR!
