Problem on the Plain?

NJ forwarded me a recent article in The Alexander City Outlook by Bruce Meyers. In this article he wrote the following:

• The 2007 version of the Auburn Tigers had issues on offense


• It was apparent from the get-go that Brandon Cox did not fit the Borges scheme. Sounds like a recruiting issue, what say you?


• I will tell you exactly why Auburn lost four games in 2007, and why they will slip into college football mediocrity in 2008. The head coach has lost his desire to recruit when all of the other coaches are out there working


• Auburn recruiting update: Fifteen commitments, none are rated in the top 150 in the country, four are not rated, and none are ranked in the top 35 at their respective positions.


• Alabama recruiting update: Currently No. 3 in both recruiting polls with 25 commitments, three top-100 recruits. [ ... ] Alabama will be the top recruiting class in the country - they will land top prospect, No. 1 wide receiver Julio Jones. The Tide will ink no less than 10 more top 150 recruits, all in the top 15 at their respective positions.


• Final note: I am not an Alabama fan.

Here is a link to the entire article Auburn losing recruiting war with in-state rival. Thanks NJ for making this available to us!

Roll Tide!
