Re: 2010 Recruiting Thread

Justin Delaine commits to Auburn.


He's been way under the radar recruiting-wise, but from what I hear he might be a hell of a steal.

He's 6'5'' 230, runs a 4.5 40,
Here's what Jake Holland's (Auburn commit) dad had to say about him.

Yeah there was a really unimpressive video of him practicing with what looked like a JV squad up on Youtube. They took it down today though. Yet another diamond in the rough.

and he's gotten offers from every school that's went to check him out.

Yes, Auburn won out against the likes of So Miss, Troy and USA. Jake Holland's dad likes him so yeah, he must be impressive. Hell of a steal indeed.

I never bragged about beating out Mississippi State for him, I just said he might be a steal.

He didn't have any tape from last year, but every team that visited his school and looked at him offered.

Karlos Dansby anyone?



BTW, I saw the video. Looked like a legit hs team to me, not a powerhouse, but some of those guys looked way too big for jv. Also you have to keep in mind that Delaine is 6'5'' 230lb. It would be expected for him to dwarf hs football players.

Far more likely that he's going to be those guys from the final two Tuberville classes that sucked.

It's okay to say that he "might be a steal." Actually trying to justify him as anything but a long shot is terrible homerism.

Maybe you guys have a terrible workout program, but for a lineman, 230 is tiny. 6-6 230 was about 10-15 pounds and 1 inch bigger than our wide receivers.

He could put on some weight, but he should be pretty skinny at that weight.

Are you serious? Are you telling me that hs receivers are all 215-220. If you really think that, then you are sadly mistaken.

At my school and the 3a schools we play receivers are definitely not 6'5'' 220, when we camped at Jenks (big time 6a school, continually ranked high nationally) their receivers were pretty much 6' 180 or so, give or take an inch or two and twenty pounds. They had one real good receiver who was 6'1'' 200 and he was bulked up, he's committed to OU.


230 isn't necessarily 'tiny' for a hs lineman, in the top classification it might be a bit below average, but for anyone playing line for a 4a or 3a school, 230 is a fine weight.

You must've played for a powerhouse school, and obviously don't have any understanding of the size of players for an average sized school. Tell me a school where a 6'6'' 230 lb player wouldn't stand WAY out. Seriously, I don't think you have any idea of what your talking about here. In hs all of you receivers were 6'5'' 220, get real Cebby.

Re: 2010 Recruiting Thread

ATF, it really depends on the location. For example, we never had huge WR's on my team. Our biggest while I was there may have been 6'4 180 and then a guy who was 6'2 190. Both were track stars and only played football because they had elite speed. They were deadly on special teams but never really made an impact at WR.


However we were huge in the trenches and our LB's were as well. We had small DB's but we also had small WR's. Didn't really hurt us since the only team who didn't run the ball less than 70% of the time was Hoover. And we only played them 3 times while I was at TCHS and we went 1-2.

Some schools may have a couple huge WR's for a year, some schools may have a huge Offensive line one year, but to think that a school consistently has 6'4'' 220 lb wide receivers is ludacrous.

Re: 2010 Recruiting Thread

FSU picks up commitment #12 from unknown DT Cameron Erving out of Moultrie, GA, his only other offer was from Georgia Southern. Either the coaching staff did its homework and this is a diamond in the rough or he has severe grade problems or this is a WTF are you doing with only 23 scholarships this year!

[MassNole]

Re: 2010 Recruiting Thread

FSU picks up commitment #13 from 3* LB Nigel Terrell from Pelham, AL. He chose FSU over Ole Miss and had offers from Auburn, West Virginia, Arkansas and various others. This will give FSU three LB's named Nigel.

Re: 2010 Recruiting Thread

Wow looks like a lot of FSU leans shot up the rankings this time around. Looking at that list I would look for FSU to sign:

LaMarcus Joyner
Corey Miller
Christian Jones
Christian Green

FSU has a chance with:
Jeff Luc
Cody Riggs
Terrence Mitchell
Corey Lemonier

Who do you mean? If you mean Allen, he ain't going to Bama.

Allen and Hill both will come to Alabama.

Ah crap, my bad. I was saying Allen, but I was thinking Prater. I wonder what happened to make Sims fall to #3 QB.

It's not so much on Sims as it is on Gardner and Heaps. They both showed out at the Elite 11 camps to help their stock big time.
