That's what I love about this kid is his dedication. He knows that he has a lot of hard work in front of him but is not demanding instant playing time. He understands that CJG is not gonna put him in a position to fail due to the fact that he may not be ready to compete at the SEC level yet. Young is mature enough to comprehend that and doesn't have any unreasonable expectations.

This article/interview is, in a nutshell, exactly why I am very happy with the state of our program and the direction we are headed. We may not get every kid we would like, but when we get kids like this who are really doing their homework and have family members who have been through the process, it says to me that our coaches are doing all the right things. Smoke and mirrors and negative recruiting aren't going to land us players like this young man. Add that to the fact that existing players, who have been in the system long enough to know how things are run day to day, continue to rave about how great of a place Auburn is, and I think you have something special. It means that players who sign with Auburn get what they are expecting to get, and not some dog and pony show they were given during their recruitment. THAT leads to players who are loyal and committed both to the coaches and to each other. I will take that over a bunch of disgruntled 5 stars who are angry they were lied to and are just focused on getting to the next level any day. My two cents.

Jut one more thing. Our O-line is shaping up nicely with some young talent considering the recruits we signed this year and last year.Westerman being red shirted, Dismukes played very well as a Freshman plus seveeral players saw field action.....our O-line should be dominant. Throw in a All-American blocking Fullback as well. Mr Blakely should send Mr Dyer a Christmas card every year.

Golden made a last second effort to get him, but it wasn't enough. Congrats to Auburn, you guys got a good one!!! I would much rather have him play in Auburn then in Gainsville. At least that way I can still be a fan of his.
