We (Auburn) have really stumped our toe the last two years in recruiting by passing on Lamar Jackson now at Louisville and Jerod Evans.
Auburn had a shot early on with both - in fact probably led for both - and drug its' feet and lost both.
The Evans recruitment is particularly perplexing. Our QB - Sean White - is pretty good but he's small. He only goes about 190 although the program lists him at 200 and hasn't made it through a season yet and may have avascular necrosis which would end his career. Gus Malzahn seems to want to play everybody but Sean because he doesn't fit the Cam Newton/Nick Marshall DTQB mold (who does anyway???) and the guys behind him can't beat their way out of a wet paper bag.
Evans is a beast and with him at our helm there is no doubt (in my mind anyway) that we are a 10, maybe 11 win team this year with our defense.
Can somebody shed some light on how he wound up in Blacksburg? I'm having a debate on The Bunker at AuburnSports.com.
