  • That will always be the prevailing attitude of Auburn's more highly recruited players. Their recruiting pitch is to tell the recruit that he will have everything given to him at Auburn. That life is super fun at Auburn. The recruit that is swayed by that pitch has no desire to earn anything and will resent them for making him try.

    there are good reasons why certain kids dont get recruited by certain schools.

    Not to defend Auburn on anything but this kid sounds like a whiney baby.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Not to defend Auburn on anything but this kid sounds like a whiney baby. Complaining about going to study hall and working out? If you don't want to get up a 4:30am to workout, don't get in trouble.

    Honestly, Auburn would probably be better off without him.

    All that said, I love the fact that they are in complete disarray right now. From the leadership to the attitude of their players, it is all falling apart.

    Yep.

    I'd hate to be at Auburn too... but hey, he made that decision. He obviously has issues.

    No kidding. He wouldn't last long as part of the process.

    The bigger point you are missing is this is the type of kid AU recruits in general! It is exactly why they might have a good recruiting ranking but will not excel on the field.

    indeed. they're famous for all the "we find diamonds in the rough" and "recruiting rankings don't matter" bluster they were spewing when saban first arrived, but they missed the flip side of stars not making the player. just because a guy has 5-star talent doesn't mean he has 5-star character, work ethic or desire.

    that's what makes guys like julio so special. his freakish talent is surpassed by his intensity.

    I know exactly what you are talking about. This time of year for college baseball is hell. Cold as hell outside with never-ending practices.

    You make a damn good point...They tell these kids that life at AU is one nonstop party. Meanwhile you do not have to work hard and you will win big AND start from day one. Obviously, it does not work that way. I am sure many of the kids that buy into that garbage are shocked when literally non of the promises come to pass. This is why when AU lands some stud player, we should not worry that much because AU's coaching staff have built an atmosphere of entitlement. Entitlement gets you beat in anything you set out to do in life.

    You very well could be right. I was just pointing out that it appears Auburn is asking their players do things like go to study hall and working out. He even refers to punishment. Hard to fault the people trying to hold the kids be accountable.

    If this attitude is pervasive at Auburn, the coaches will be gone sooner rather than later.

    sheez, NAIA baseball has all that too, sounds like he is lazy. The barn did nothing wrong making him do all that, in fact im surprised they actually have punishment workouts and study hall
