Oku now an option?

Good afternoon.

Our friends at AuburnSports.com are reporting that TB David Oku from suburban Oklahoma City is planning to visit Auburn next weekend. Though he remains somewhat committed to Tennessee, Oku has made trips to Louisville and Nebraska. He's visiting Syracuse this weekend. Auburn comes next.

Could the Tigers actually land Oku? Impossible to know. Auburn is getting in very late on these kids. Sometimes that actually assists the Tigers' effort -- they're the "new" program with the new staff and the revised expectations.

JJ is the only rumor I've seen. I agree with Michael. Yawn.; 3:27 PM
michael said...: Wow, even on the internets yawns are contagious; 3:28 PM
WDEwg said...: Omnica
But if it is Tuberville as intermediary for Willis with Sabin-- that would be huge and ugly.; 3:29 PM
WDEwg said...: I'd be willing to bring a ladder and rip his picture off the side of the stadium for that; 3:29 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Is it bad form and wrong to pick up the question posed on the last thread here (about the Tubs as filthy stinking "intermediary" organizing Willis hire)??

If so, I will delete post and then off myself due to the shame and humiliation I've visited upon the Drummond family.

Arnold; 3:30 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Thanks WDE (taking lips off exhaust hose); 3:31 PM
michael said...: I would settle down, I haven't heard anything credible that Tubs helped Willis out.

But if he did, well, it would be one guy who got fired by Auburn helping out another guy who got fired by Auburn. So, as Auburn, how upset can we be?; 3:31 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Correction: second guy who RESIGNED from Auburn w/$6 MILLION of "good will" in order to be "involved ambassador"; 3:32 PM
Jet said...: Frankly, if Tubby was helping Willis get a job elsewhere, then good.

I'm glad they were successful. Get is his bohunkus out of Auburn and roll with the Beelzebubbas.

I don't care. Soon enough the flotsam and jetsam will be gone, and we can go about our business.; 3:33 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Is Tubbs Willy Wonka in that "theoretical" scenario?; 3:33 PM
WDEwg said...: Not exactly Michael. It'd be one guy who got severance even though he resigned, and told the Pres he'd stick around the community to be an ambassador-- helping out a guy who was fired BUT THEN accepted an offer on the new staff.

so, no, not exactly; 3:34 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: AIKMEN; 3:34 PM
michael said...: Tubs is Colonel Klink in that scenario; 3:35 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: dang; 3:35 PM
Monica said...: WDEwg - yes, that would be Big Ugly.

TODAYS LEARNING MOMENT: Big Ugly Creek is a major tributary of the Guyandotte River in the Harts Creek District of Lincoln County, West Virginia; 3:37 PM
michael said...: Yeah, sorry for skipping all the high points about this and that. Certainly Tuberville wasn't forced to resign, because they would not have lied about it. But that is a discussion of long ago.

I think Willis is scuzz, but I don't care that he is gone and I don't care who helped him get gone. There are more important things in life than football rivalries, and being personal friends of both Saban and Willis, I am not sure Tuberville would be sent to hell for doing a couple of friends a favor. (and by hell, I mean Tuscaloosa)

Anyway, this is still all message board hypothetical talk. Jay, have you heard anything on this?; 3:39 PM
Anonymous said...: Are we still debating that Tuberville was or was not fired?

I'd wager a guess that his mom has a pretty good idea.; 3:40 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Where has this originated from?

And I asked this yesterday, is Willis irreplaceable?

Who was it on here who posted something about him having some dirt under his fingernails when it comes to recruitng? Someone posted that when he was originally let go.; 3:40 PM

Just because.; 3:49 PM
WDEwg said...: OK, I'll change the subject.

Do you folks think it is
1) a good sign that 3 huge stud recruits are coming next weekend, so close to signing day

2) do we have a shot at any of them; 3:50 PM

Chris in Inverness said...: Sure. Ok. You're right. I've completely changed my opinion.

Did anyone else see/hear the comments by Oku on that youtube clip? He says AU was in the lead during the camp but talked a bunch about Coach Gran.

Good to see him coming in. Who's recruitng this kid? Coach Taylor?; 3:51 PM
Anonymous said...: Now do I think it is possible that Tuberville found out they were trying to replace him and forced the issue..

You bet...

It is still a firing.; 3:53 PM
Aubie said...: If JJ gets fired, I'm going to apply for the job.
Then I am going to spend my day on the HABOTN, telling you everything that is going on and asking the group what I should do about it.
How could that plan fail?; 3:53 PM

Jet said...: Jet notes ...

1. Tubs walks in meeting as coach, leaves meeting as ex-coach.

2. Chiz was unexpected choice. We love him and the Delta Force Z now.

3. Willis was working with the angels one day, the Devil the next. He sleeps with the fishes soon.

4. Steve concerned about our reputation. Jet, if he were female, would be Joan Jet (obscure 1980s musical reference).

The End.; 3:55 PM

Commish of Old Pimps said...: If Jacobs gets fired, I'm calling his Mom to get the "real story"

Only in the strange, Twilight Zone universe of Auburn reporting/ journalism, is someone's MOTHER deemed a "reliable and credible source."

And please ask my Mother about me. She thinks I'm swell.; 4:04 PM

Some of the other guys started yelling at him, "Go on Frank, Go On now" he got upset and started crying , grabbed his basketball and ran out of the gym. I never saw him again til the day I turned my T.V. on in Kentucky and saw AU playing VA I believe and my jaw about dropped to the floor when I saw Frank Tolbert's name flash up on the TV Screen.

However, in the spirit of the HABOTN, I'll add this: How many of the walk ons that you name would have been affected had a Durst-esque situation had happened prior to their enrollment? My guess is zero. It doesn't fit in with the mentality of a walk-on.; 6:29 PM

Unknown said...: And yea, I thought not given Durst a scholarship was a bonehead move. I just hope we don't pay for it like we did with Robert McGinty. Some things are no brainers. Giving a scholarship to walkons that become starters is a no brainer. There are scholarships wasted on players (Hart) that rarely if ever play.; 6:31 PM
Unknown said...: I like the no punt concepts. We line up in a 3 deep power I and run on every single play. With 4 downs, it will be 2.5 yards and a cloud of dust football.; 6:33 PM
Anonymous said...: Haha if you want to approach it that way you can, but I think Malzhan can average more than 2.5 yards per play with his offense.; 6:36 PM

I don't think we can't afford to spend a nugget d'or right now for a punter. We've got one on scholarship, and three more will surely walk on this summer.
