Recruiting: Chizik Has a Plan.
February 18, 2009

By TerryP


If there were any doubts among you that the rivalry between Alabama and Auburn is a action - reaction scenario those suspicions can be laid to rest.

After meeting with a group of reporters this week newly hired Gene Chizik has announced he “has a plan for retaking the state of Alabama” in terms of recruiting.

I realize, this begs the question if Auburn ever had the state of Alabama in the first place, but we’ll leave that question for a later date.

Over the past two National Signing days the Auburn program has found itself virtually locked out of the recruits that both the Auburn and Alabama staff had interest in signing. Overall, both schools have heavily recruited over 30 players in common with Alabama coming out on the winning end in all but a scarce few.

Troy!!! :lol:

Where once a top athlete would probably choose Auburn over Troy, it ain't that way no more (good English, huh?). Blakeney's got the Trojans playing with the big boys now (ask LSU), and a good player might just choose to go a little further South than Lee County.

bah didnt read

EDIT : Was fixing a silly mistake, ut im surprised hes going for something that is likely to backfire on him. T.T. played it safe and stayed away.

Now that's funny.

Can only wish him luck, and I hope he doesn't try to build a fence...for his sake.

Terry, in terms of star power...will there be a 5-star prospect from Alabama this season? Chitty, Sanders, Richardson, Mosely or Williams?

 

[TerryP]

5-stars?

Really hard to say.

Just as an example, with Sanders not playing his "natural position" all the time it's going to be hard for those evaluators to get a feel on how he'll fit in on the college level. I'd think, right now, he'd start out about like Tana, a 6.0 4-star but will have a chance.

Moseley sure seems to have a chance if he puts up the numbers he did last season. Milliner might as well.

All three will end up as the top players in their positions at the end of the season the way I see it breaking down now.
