its amazing what a new DC from the NFL can do for auburn's defensive recruitments...
I doubt there's room for him at Clemson. Dabo is only signing Grayson High School players.
I'm not sure that Uncle Rico has caused an increase in AU's defensive recruitment. Below are 4* and 5* defensive recruits under Chizik.
Look at the list of players. How many have you seen play? I remember most of them from recruiting, but several haven't played yet.
Lemonier is a stud actually. He's probably a top 5 DE in his class.
I agree. My question was has he progressed since being at Auburn? Doesn't look like it. He came out of high school as one of the elite players but doesn't appear to have gotten better.
That logic would mean Trent and Julio weren't coached up. We can give auburn credit for lemonier his profession from year one to two was substantial. Having said that he's pretty much the only one on that list who has turned out great so far.
Do you not think Julio or Trent got better while at Bama?
I do. But your logic he was good out of high school and is good now so he hasn't improved. That could apply to Julio. Lemonier has gotten better i dont even think he was a starter his freshman year then was first team all conference. We can't deny everything that auburn does.
I'll give Auburn credit where it's due; I have plenty of times before and taken slack for it.
Sounds good. I just think your logic could be used against bama quite easily by other fans. "well he gets all 4 and 5 stars of course they win". Lemonier has gotten better and was pretty much their only bright spot on d last year.
He was their only bright spot because Chizik's former staff failed to develop players as a whole. Can Rico develop the talent? Chiz better hope so.
