From what I have read the person introducing the players wasn't staff. Also, the rolling of toomer's corner was apparently not planned by the staff. I think we are clear on both counts, but even if one of these was a violation it would basically be a whoopie. I am not sure why anyone would be concerned about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460464224141986657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250647049830854098.post-73494611378330114432009-06-01T13:46:17.305-04:002009-06-01T13:46:17.305-04:00First all, they haven't been found guilty of any s...First all, they haven't been found guilty of any secondary violations at this point. <br /><br />There appears to only be 2 questionable actions, the introduction of a recruit by a member of the athletic staff and holding a simulated post-game experience. Those two areas are very gray at best and if that's what is coming out of this weekend's activities, it means we are really getting to those covering and following bama. I love it and I would be willing to bet that they didn't just host this weekend without checking into what they can and cannot do.Eddie McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602508172090719436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250647049830854098.post-3688316269082958042009-06-01T13:33:24.437-04:002009-06-01T13:33:24.437-04:00Jet, I don't have a problem with secondary violati...Jet, I don't have a problem with secondary violations given the frequency with which they are handed out in the SEC these days, just did not expect it so early in Chizik's reign. In the end, it's not really a big issue and overall I am really excited about what he's done since he has taken over, with regard to everything, not just recruiting.<br /><br />But it was disconcerting that a person like me, who really has no clue about the rules of recruiting, was pretty sure we might have been violating some of them this past weekend. But hey, I guess they know that now, and they'll learn and move on. I don't think this coaching staff is dirty or anything. Just would have hoped they used a bit more common sense, that's all.E-Brohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437273424369903291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250647049830854098.post-47814119582854785182009-06-01T13:03:43.607-04:002009-06-01T13:03:43.607-04:00Great Blog Eddie..I am surprised at all the attent...Great Blog Eddie..I am surprised at all the attention that this staff has been able to generate..I assumed Tubbs was doing something along these lines and we just didn't hear about it for some reason or another..I guess not.

The recruits made it clear they loved it, so it really doesn't matter if some didn't like either idea. The judges that mattered are the recruits.<br /><br />I do disagree about this team not being talented. We have a lot of talent and have been consistently in the top 20 in recruiting, and often in the top 10. This is just a different approach, although I must admit it is more exciting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460464224141986657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250647049830854098.post-37688173809958780692009-06-01T11:30:33.933-04:002009-06-01T11:30:33.933-04:00Eddie, I couldn't agree more.

I have seen more excitement in Auburns' recruiting since these coaches arrived then in the previous 2 years combined. I am curious to see who will be the best "closer" on the current staff. Who would you pick to close the deal with a top player if it could only be one of them?AUfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435620120449569688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250647049830854098.post-22814151309062942112009-06-01T11:24:57.083-04:002009-06-01T11:24:57.083-04:00Yeah, too bad about those possible secondary recru...Yeah, too bad about those possible secondary recruitment violations. I was wondering all weekend if we may have been violating some rules, and sure enough, yep, we may have been. All for aggressive recruiting and I could be wrong, but I don't remember any secondary violations under Tubs.<br /><br />As for the roster layout, I too want mostly Bama and Georgia players, but me and Coach Koonz had this conversation before the 2002 Iron Bowl. Coming off the heartbreaking loss, we wondered how much out players would be up for it, because it seemed like we had more players from Georgia than Alabama, while Bama's roster was stock full of Alabama boys.<br /><br />We thought the advantage lay with them because of that, but instead we went out and whipped them for the first of six times in a row.E-Brohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437273424369903291noreply@blogger.com
