Dyer signs with Auburn. Affect Lache?

Who cares? If a guy does not want to come here we will win national champoinships without them.
 
Different kinds of backs. Malzahn wants to use Dyer as the power back (what Ben Tate does now) and Lache as the perimeter back/home run threat (what McCalebb does now).

I think he's going to USC, but if Trovon Reed commits to Auburn next week, that could help AU's chances with Seastrunk.
 
Can someone clarify if we are still recruiting him hard, or did his interest in other universities just put off a few of the posters here on the board?

As far as I understand, he still is fast and elusive- there is a place on any team for him.
 
Dyer himself said his recruitment would remain open and he will continue to take visits, and I have seen LOTS of speculation about Malzahn moving up in the ranks. Who knows what all this means, except that NSD is 2 months away.
 
malzahn is on the fast track to a HC job for sure, given that 5 years ago he was coaching HS ball.

but i think he'll be at auburn for at least one more year before taking on a HC job.
 
Dyer is 5-8 but one of the best OCs in the nation is planning on using him as a power back? I'm a little skeptical of that...
 
When you plan on using somebody as a "power back," in a spread offense with a speed and power back, you don't use a guy like Mike Hart. Mike Hart is an Ace back or an I-Back, not a spread back. So that is not an apt comparison.
 
I'd love to be wrong, but I think that bird has flown. We'll be fine with or without him. Our program is in great shape.

90,

Do you think that Gus Malzahn was lying to Dyer when he told him that he'd be doing what Tate does in the offense, that Dyer was lying and that conversation never took place, or that you know more about offensive football than Malzahn?
 
No I don't think he's lying when he said it to Dyer, I just don't expect it to actually happen. I expect Dyer to be the speed back.
 
I could be wrong, but I believe a couple of posters have noted that Lache hasn't been that impressive this year.
Awfully small, too.

Maybe after we win the MNC, he will come crawling on hands and knees and ask Mack to let him in.
Other than that, he's going elsewhere.
 
I was one of those. LS was much smaller than I anticipated. There's no way he's within 15 lbs of his listed weight.

He is very fast and slippery, but it didn't look like he had the vision and will to win that you see in truly great players.

Great athlete; not a great player right now.
 
fwiw, a friend of mine who teaches at Temple says that no one know where this kid will end up, but that one of his coaches is encouraging him to think about schools to the east (whatever that means).

I know nothing about the kid as a person. He did stick around after loss to Belton and signed autographs for some little kids, which I thought was cool.
 
I remember Jerrod Douglas- he did spurn Texas a little in favor for Baylor. He played at Judson when I was at Churchill- and supposedly Judson gave his mother a job as a janitor!

He was the fastest HS athlete that year- probably better at track than Football- but did help JHS nearly win state. I think the small/short speedsters are hit or miss- this is not a science but an art. There are other examples of this type of athlete that are successes.
 
That would be Lache who? Is that somebody we once recruited? He figures to develop a taste for Cajun food over the next three or four years.
 
I hope that LSU will do good enough to play in a BCS game where we whip their punk asses like we did in the Cotton Bowl the year before they cleaned OU's clock for the MNC. It would have to be one of our down years because I just don't see them making it to the championship game in the next 4 years.
 
Douglas had a little more stop-and-go. Lache's style is more like Jamaal Charles...people would hit him and he'd kind of squirm through it for some extra yards...kinda like water off a duck's back. IIRC, Douglas was more of a jitterbug (correct me if I'm wrong). Lache would string every carry outside looking for a seam before taking off.

The thing separating Jamaal from Lache is that while JC would string plays out looking for a homerun, he also wasn't afraid of mixing it up every now and then. Case in point, AJ Hawk would have scored a TD in 05 if Seastrunk was our back. From what I saw the other night, Lache would have been trotting to the sideline instead of trying to make a play on the ball.
